AviSynth with ffms2 and l-smash on Ubuntu

[Valit]

Hi,

on my old ubuntu 18.04 installation both l-smash and ffms2 worked with winehq-devel 3.6. now 4.1 is the last version. i used this link (https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu) to install it on both installations. with winehq 4.1 ffms2 works but l-smash doesn't. i also installed vc_run 2013 and 2015. the error is

System Error Exception access violation

i also made some tests in a virtual machine with the same results with winehq 4.1. with wine 3.6 from the ubuntu repository its different. now l-smash works (when vc_run 2015 is installed) and ffms2 couldn't find. the error is

there is no function called ffvideosource

i also tried loading the plugin with loadplugin(), here i have the error

plugin ffms2.dll is not an avisynth 2.5 plugin

i want to have both plugins available because i had videos that could not be loaded with one of the pluigins and i had to switch. has anyone both running? what version? unfortunately i couldn't install the same version that worked on my old ubuntu installation.

oops, sorry, I thought you were talking about Vapoursynth

plugin ffms2.dll is not an avisynth 2.5 plugin

AviSynth 2.5? Seems like you are trying to combine ffms2 with headers for 2.6 with AviSynth 2.5. I think today "everyone" is either using 2.6 or latest pinterf AviSynth+.

[Valit]

Yes, i use avisynth 2.6. ffms2 is the last version. This wasn't a problem on all installations i made before. I used the same versions of avisynth and ffms2.

is there a special ffms2 for avisynth 2.6?

That error message means that you're probably using the ffms2 C-plugin (as opposed to the C++-plugin). Avisynth 2.6 cannot auto-load C-plugins so you would have to use an explicit "LoadCplugin()" call in your script.

BTW, Avisynth+ can auto-load C-plugins. I recommend updating to AVS+.

The error message in Avisynth 2.6 should be "plugin ffms2.dll is not an avisynth 2.6 or 2.5 plugin ". You are either using Avisynth 2.5.8 or an early 2.6 alpha. You can use the Avisynth Info Tool or AVSMeter to verify your Avisynth install. At least one of them should work on Wine.

Doesnt work. I use the same avisynth and ffms2 Version AS i do On my old ubuntu 18.04 installation and there both works. Its not the c-plugin.

I will test avs+ but i dont think thats the solution.

Double check if this is true.

[Valit]

Checked and it doesn't work. I checked the version again:

AviSynth: 2.60, build Mar 31 2015
ffms2: 2.23.1
l-smash: r929
wine: winehq-devel 4.1, wine-development 3.6

it seems its a difference i install vc_run using winetricks or manually. when i install it manually with winehq-devel 4.1 ffms2 works, l-smash works when i use lsmashvideosource, but lwlibavvideosource doesn't. but there isn't an error, it still loading the file and avspmod freezes. that happens when i try a mp4 and mkv file. both files are working with ffms2 and lsmashvideosource.

vc_run 2013 and vc_run 2015 are installed. the wineprefix is set up to windows xp. problem also occurs with windows 7.

[Valit]

i got it to work with wine-development 3.6 from the ubuntu repo. all other didn't work.

when i try avisynth+ with all versions of wine i have this error when opening a file in avspmod:

Error parsing plugin string at position 0:

in an extra window. whats that?

the script is very simple

v = LWLibavVideoSource("/media/data/input.mkv", threads=1)
a = LWLibavAudioSource("/media/data/input.mkv")
AudioDub(v,a)

Are you using and old AvsPmod version or do you use the latest from https://github.com/gispos/AvsPmod/releases ?

[Valit]

I used thevold version, i didnt know there is a new one. I will try this.

@ selur

when i start avspmod.exe its still version 2.5.1 not 2.6 and i have the error again. when i try to start the 'avsp.py' i have this error

python avsp.py

When I start AvsPmod it's 2.6.0.6. -> seems like you messed up somewhere.
No clue why you build try to start the 'avsp.py' which is in the 'src'-folder, doesn't make any sense. That file is not meant to be executed.

[Valit]

Ive read this somewhere in avspmod thread in doom9 forum Yeats ago, that u can Start avspmod also with that file. But it results in an error in terminal.

[Selur]

But that would try to start avspmod in your native Windows environment not in wine,...

[Valit]

i tried avspmod 2.6.0.6 and avisynth+ on a virtual machine and it works, but it doesn't on my normal ubuntu. i can open a avs script with avspdmod 2.6 with avisynth 2.6, but when i install avisynth+ avspmod can't be opened anymore. there isn't any wine error.

using winedebug is absolutely useless because there are hundreds of error messages. there is also a AvsPmod.exe.log with that error

i downloaded avspmod twice but had the problems with both versions.

No idea? is someone using avisynth+ with avspmod 2.6 on linux? maybe the problem is on my machine?

edit
i tried avspmod and avisynth+ on windows 7 in a virtual machine and it doesn't work. avspmod isn't starting, the error log displays the same error.

did you try the Ubuntu forums ?? - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095&page=227

[Valit]

But this thread is about ffmpeg and x264, not avisynth and avspmod.

The problem also exists on windows 7. supports avspmod avisynth+?

[Selur]

I'm using AvsPmod with Avisynth+ from time to time on a Win10 machine without problem.
Got no access to a Win7 machine, but got a Win8.1 VM where I installed AviSynthPlus-MT-r2772-with-vc_redist and AvsPmod 2.6.06 and it worked without a problem.
On Linux I normally use Vapoursynth. Last I use Avisynth I install it through the ppa of djcj (https://launchpad.net/~djcj/+archive/ubuntu/hybrid) as addition to Hybrid.
Never tried to use AvsPmod on Linux.
