Hybrid(Windows/Linux/Mac): Input -> x264/x265/Xvid/VP8/VP9

[Selur]

see http://www.selur.de/support regarding what infos are needed for me to reproduce&fux a bug

[dicto]

can you move that tray icon to the right?
kinda buggy me when i tried to close my web browser

[Selur]

That should only happen if the qt version of Hybrid doesn't match the qt version on the system.
Which qt version runtime is your system using and what Hybrid version are you using?

wait, i'll check

is this the right one?

i'm using recent one (2014.06.13.1, your website said it) and using 5.2.1 one

[Selur]

really strange, that bug normally shouldn't happen.

Hmm,.. seeing that both qt 4.8 and 5.2.1 are installed.
-> is the icon properly placed if you use the qt48 version?
(not sure how Ubuntu decides which runtime to use)

um...

try 4.6 one instead...
got weird tray icon and i can't call it back.

[Selur]

fixed the link to the 4.8 version

[dicto]

fixed the link to the 4.8 version

same weird icon as 4.6 one and i can't click it either.

[Selur]

What Ubuntu flavour are you using?

[dicto]

What Ubuntu flavour are you using?

Ubuntu 14.04 and default DE (Unity)

[Selur]

Okay, will download and a test Vm and report back

Found an older post from myself -> http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1678692#post1678692
=> installing "sni-qt" should fix the problem
Or not
Just tried it, doesn't work anymore.

ask Qt team about this problem?

[Selur]

Known problem: Unity doesn't have a system tray, but some other thing.
According to https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-26470, calling:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"

shoudl fix the issue, but iirc that only for Unity before 13.04, for 13.04 'sni-qt' worked and from the looks of it with 14.04 something changed again.

[Selur]

more about Qt5&Unity: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31762

it turns out that Unity uses an internal protocol and patches Qt 4 accordingly. Unless they make their modifications public or contribute a patch to Qt 5, there is not much we can do, I am afraid.

ARGH,...

[Selur]

Found a workaround:

• calling: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mc3man/systray-white
• calling: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
• calling: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"
• restart

god, it's 00 AM here.... ~_~
i'll check it later..
i hope this solve the problem..

[Selur]

It does in my Ubuntu 14.04 64bit Desktop VM, so I hope for the best.

[dicto]

i got an error No such schema 'com.canonical.Unity.Panel'
but i hope this will work for others who have a same problem in the future...
at least, i can just disable it :3
thank you very much for finding a solution for this one. :>

[Selur]

Strange, worked here on a clean Ubuntu 14.04 64bit Desktop install. Normally adding the ppa, updating and upgrading should add the Panel options.

[dicto]

sorry to inform you late, but it works! even if i got that error

[Selur]

Small heads up, after some fixing of the QSVEnc integration inside Hybrid and doing some intensive testing of QSVEnc and finding some problems, I'm probably going to remove QSVEnc from Hybrid with the new release.

Reasons:
1. encoding freezes when using '-quality' higher than 'balanced'
2. icq and icq-la are not usable in the current QSVEnc
(3. not Visa compatible)

[deadrats]

i was going to post about the issue with crashing related to settings higher than "balanced" but i thought maybe those settings only applied to the latest haswell cpu's and that's why it was crashing.

if you're going to remove it, remove that silly K... hevc encoder and instead add f265, it seems like a much more serious project and it has some interesting threading modes, it may be what eventually becomes the dominant open source hevc encoder.

[Selur]

Have you tried f265?
Sadly there is no binary source for the development branch atm. -> asked jb_alvarado to add it to the media-autobuild_suite.

[blud7]

So, Hybrid crashes on extracting subtitles since the last three versions for me.
Included log

More specifically, whether I click Extract and Add or Extract, it crashes.
In this example the subtitle is pgs, but srt/txt also crashes.
version 2014.06.17.2

[Selur]

will look at it

HI Selur!

What does Coder: "Golomb rice" / and "range coder" means in FFv1 codec? What is the difference? And what is the difference between version "1" and "3" in FFV1?

[Selur]

What does Coder: "Golomb rice" / and "range coder" means in FFv1 codec?

see: http://www.ffmpeg.org/~michael/ffv1.html#toc-Subsection-3.6
-> Range coder should be slower but save more bits

And what is the difference between version "1" and "3" in FFV1?

see: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/FFV1
basic difference:
v3 does support:
a. slicing -> better multithreading
b. CRC info per slice -> allows decoder later to know if a slice is broken
v1 doesn't

And what do you think about the Huffyuv and UT video codecs?

[Selur]

In what regard?
Huffyuv is old, should be easy to add since ffmpeg supports it (main problem is probably to find some documentation about what parameters are supported by it).
UT Video: afaik. UT Video is VCM/VFW only and I do not plan to support vfw as output atm. (compression wise it should be better than ffv1 and huffyuv)
