stats was not created!

[LaurentS]

Hi,

I already used Hybrid a few times but now it goes wrong all the time.
I think it's my mistake somewhere but I really can't figure it out. Could you please help me?
I already trashed all Hybrid related files and then installed the newest version.
I read your process of installing VapourSynth but I didn't understood everything and I'm not sure it applies to my problems.

I tried various encodings with Hybrid and got various errors.
Here's the one I get most often : "###.stats was not created!"
This message appears as soon as I start the job.

I join the debug file.

Please feel free to ask me any question that may help you to help me ;-)

a. change the default temp path (Config->Paths) to something not in a protected folder
b. try adjusting your file names to something that can be fully decoded by the mac os terminal (especialy the question marks in the file names hint to issues).

Thanks Celur for taking the time to help.
I changed the temp path to my user folder. And I changed the output path to something simpler with characters that should be recognised.
But nothing changed in the results.

please see attachment since April 13th.

According to the log attached to you last post, the call still contains unkown characters:

and the temp folder wasn't changed.

You need to recreate the job, changing paths after creating the jobs will not influence all the jobs.

Hi Celur,
Thanks again.

Last time I did change the directories but I found out that I've got the debug file recorded in three different places. So I'm not sure you got the correct file.
Plus, I always create a new job when I make any change to the settings. I just keep all the jobs in the queue for memory.
To be sure, this time : I removed all the jobs. I removed all the debug files. I changed the temp dir. I put the input file to the root of my drive.
Same result (HybridDebugOutput-1).

I made another try: I put the temp dir to the same place as my input and output files.
Same result (HybridDebugOutput-2).

 

I'm waiting for your godly words   to find out what's happening.
Thanks.

Laurent

I get :

I went there, inside Hybrid, and "ffmpeg" is well present. It weights 76Mb.

I don't understand...

I see the problem, I accidentally missed a quote at the beginning of the line I posted, needs to be:

On the last line, the figures are changing, especially the number of frames.
I suppose it's encoding.
I colored in red some lines that were in pink or yellow in the terminal.

So, it seems to work by the terminal...?

Yes, that was only the decoding call which seems to work.
The two warnings were expected and no need to worry.

Atm. I hav eno clue why the output of the pipe seems ot be malformed,...
Probably won't find time to look at it today, but I'll try to reproduce it tomorrow in a mac vm.
