[BUG] FillDrops with RIFE

[zspeciman]

Its launching now!!!  Thank you.
The preview on rife 4.6 is working now also when processing it creates an output video.  Also ReplaceSingle preview is working now, I believe it was crashing previously.
I've compared method Rife to MV and it appears no duplicates frames exist on MV at 0.3Threshold. Rife still has duplicates same Threshold, I tried it at 0.1 and 0.9 duplicates still exist.
I decided to target a specific frame with ReplaceSingle, frame 204, which is a duplicate of 203.  MV created a whole new frame of 204, interpolation between 203 and 205. Rife didn't change frame 204, it is still a duplicate of 203.  I've attached the short clip of the video.  I'm not sure if FillDrops is working correctly, I tried other clips, same issue. Please verify if you have the same issue on your machine with the same clip.

Did you enable debug and look at the preview to adjust the threshold?
For me a good threshold seems to be 0.0003.
There seems to be something wring with FillDrops (will look at it after wordk), try FillDuplicateFrames instead.

Send you a new link, which hopefully fixes the problem.

Thank you for looking into it. I can't seem to get it to work.  I have attached a better example to test.
Frame 17 is a duplicate of 16.  In method MV, you can see its interpolation of the cane, also in SVP; Threshold 0.3.  But RIFE just duplicates the Frame.
I've run RIFE factor 2 just to see what it would look like, which is now Frame 35 and its much nicer.

[Selur]

Threshold 0.3 is way too high,..
a. try for example 0.004
b. add some deblocking&co (maybe artifacts removal) before using filldrops
17 looks fine when using rife and filldrops (like your rife x2 interpolation)

Fantastic, it is working great.  It was the Threshold as you have mentioned.    Were you able to repair ReplaceSingle, that one is giving errors on preview on all methods.

[Selur]

Propably some typo, will look at it tomorrow.

[Selur]

You can fix the problem by replacing:

if clip.formatcolor_family != vs.YUV:

with

if clip.format.color_family != vs.YUV:

int the filldrops.py.

It appears that FillDrops isn't working with the newest Hybrid rev 2024.05.05.1 (fresh install)
I looked at the directory and I couldn't locate librife_r9_mod_v6.dll, is that the problem?

Here is the Preview error:
