Things keep changing and it's hard to keep up with them. I never really bothered with the API. I should look into one day.

It will not download any releases from the Pipeline (https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Reva...uild/artifacts) you have to do that manually. I don't think appveyor has an API, The site uses unique keys. You would need to do a bunch of web scrapping to get the key Which Requires cookiedata + another Key to create the key, then use that key to obtain the dl page.

My other Program does it for another site, Code is another 300+ lines and Usage of RestAPI. I really don't want to add more files to required files for StaxRip to run.

My needs are simple
I want to load a Vaporsynth/Avisynth script and use the encoder of my choice. Then I would mux to MKV (video only)
Is there a way to use StaxRip with only x265 and Mkvmerge (no AvsMeter, BDSup2Sub, etc)

Its not a big deal, I can update it manually, thanks.

P.S. Where do I get all the updated 3rd party apps used by StaxRip?

Like I said it's Completely untested. Other then MKVToolNix function nothing was changed.

Just created another pull request for the temp file glitch.

Revan- The new change that you made only fixes the issue for Windows 10. For other versions, it still does not check if TempDir is already defined. Please, just take a look at the code order in my pull request.

Revan- Thank you for merging in the Xvid fixes. It works much better now.

Everythingis still WIP. I was half asleep when I wrote it. Elseif Statement just needs to be added.

**Edit**

Re-Wrote it with different form of Try and removed the need to know the OS.

The problem disappears if you replace the FFMS2 files in the 2.0 package with those from the 1.9 package.

you are right. it lags and even fails sometimes.

Hello, thank you for continuing to support this project. When I choose Intel H.264 or Intel H.265, I receive the following message...

"NullReferenceException (2.0.0.0)

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at StaxRip.QSVEnc.EncoderParams.OnValueChanged(CommandLineParam item)
at StaxRip.BasicVideoEncoder.ImportCommandLine(String commandLine, CommandLineParams params)"

I have Intel 8700K with UHD 630 graphics and current graphics drivers.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Your using Old Build which has Been tweaked in the Pipeline builds and make sure QS is Enabled.

On Skylake if your using GPU like Nvidia. QS would not enable unless you tweak the setting in your Bios. Not sure if intel/ Motherboards have changed this Since Skylake release.

ffindex does use LAVF demuxer, Without that or some other demuxer ffindex will struggle. It's why I try to compile a static version of ffindex with some resource already contained inside.

I guess i'm the only one with ffindex working correctly.


When using MP4 L-Smash Should be used, Other Formats DG or ffms should be used.

------

honestly, I would upgrade to DGDecNV and pay the tiny amount of money. Since it's well worth the price.

Only common format that it does not support are Apple formats(Not yet atlease Based on Dec Release) & VP9(Using Webm).

Hi Revan, save as PNG from the preview window is broken in the latest pipeline build.

Save as JPG works fine though.

Works perfectly fine at my end. Nothing has been altered with preview window.

[Natty]

is it possible to get option to view bitrate used in preview window?

You're my hero, Revan654. You know that. You know it's true.

In it's current State, No. It doesn't use MediaInfo or anything like that for displaying those values. It uses Windows resources when building the data.

Not sure of all functions and sub functions of avifil32.dll. Plus can't really find any docs for it, When you try google it you get nothing but How to fix missing dll problems.

[MrScientist]

Thank you for the info. The Pipeline build works.

Just FYI, there were no BIOS settings on either my Kaby Lake or Coffee Lake motherboards to turn on QSV. It's on automatically.
