[GUIDE] VapourSynth + QTGMC Deinterlace + Hybrid UI FAQ for macOS

[Selur]

Strange can't remember that I removed Yadifmod at some point in time,..

[shijan]

Yadifmod was not removed. It just was always missing in plugins package (in my package as well ). I can't tell for sure if it was missed due my mistake or because l33tmeatwad compiled and add this plugin only recently.

[Selur]

okay.

Seems we stuck in time yet with Hybrid 2022.03.20.1 compatible only up to R57.

R58 and newer installer packages now include only core application & dependencies, so all additional basic required plugins should be provided separately, so Plugins.pkg should be changed.

I use Hybrid 2022.08.17.1 development version and redesigned Plugins.pkg that works only with R60 and higher, but i don't know if it fully compatible with R62, with Hybrid scripts updates and with current version of FFmpeg.

In R63 something was changed again and l33tmeatwad can't compile yet it due "some changes that will require a higher minimum OS version."

Any chance for macOS update release?

Any chance for macOS update release?

Doubtful, without anyone compiling the vapoursynth plugins&co.

Problem: Some newer plugins are not compatible with macOS 10.14.6 Mojave.
Problem fix: Use macOS 10.15 or higher if you need those plugins.

Problem: Vulkan SDK version 1.2.176.1 and higher fails to install on macOS 10.14.6 Mojave. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK/issues/1360
Problem fix 1: Use macOS 10.15 or higher.
Problem fix 2: For Mojave use Vulkan SDK version 1.2.170.0

Open "vulkansdk-macos-1.2.170.0.dmg"
Open Terminal & browse to the vulkan mount point with the following command:

cd /Volumes/vulkansdk-macos-1.2.170.0

Press "Enter" on keyboard.
Run the following command to install: 

sudo ./install_vulkan.py

Press "Enter" on keyboard.
Type your password.
Press "Enter" on keyboard.

I am running macOS Mojave 10.14.6.
I cannot find any download for vulkansdk-macos-1.2.170.0.dmg (certainly not on their site).

Does anyone have this old version ?
If I do not have Vulkan, what am I missing in terms of functionality ?

[Selur]

Placebo, SRMD, Waifu2x-w2xc, Waifu2x NCNN Vulkan won't work only thing I would miss from these is Placebo.
In newer versions, this would also disable the usage of GLSL filters, but those were not supported on MacOS at that time anyway.
Have you tried 1.2.189.0 or 1.2.198.1 which are still available for download over at https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home#mac?
