[BUG] VSGAN models produce green frames, and more

[Selur]

Regarding vsgan: might be some driver incompatibility with the torch&co versions used by VSGAN.

Would it make sense to try an older Hybrid version?

No, since that wouldn't change the torch&vsmlrt files.

I think in earlier versions Hybrid always generated a new name for the output when using "Output name generation"...

When the file name generation is triggered, Hybrid will check if a file with the current name exists and add '_new' to the file name, until the file name does not exist.
This is the only functionality Hybrid has (and ever had).

I always use the "Add to queue and start queue" button to start a job

Ah, so it is as I expected. (I never do,..)
I'll do some testing and see whether I can come up with a solution.

Send you a link to a dev version (via pm) which ask whether to proceed or abort when create&start is used. (and the warnings are enabled)

Hi there, sorry for only getting back now.

Sooo, thanks for the dev version. : ) I like it this way - being able to abort in that warning popup instead of just being warned and the overwrite will happen no matter what. Thanks! : ))

And I do have another question regarding the partially broken filters... For me the only strategy really is to use the R65 version. My system does not seem to be compatible with R68 - sadly. But some filters seem to not be present in the R65 7z? E.g. I'm using ESRGAN often for upscaling, and where in the R68 7z a folder Lib>site-packages>vsrealesrgan is present, it's missing in the R65 7z.

I'd appreciate some advice - merci. : )

Cheers!

Seems like I forgot to add it to the last R65 version I had lying around.
You can try whether calling:

pyhton -m pip install vsrealesrgan
python -m vsrealesrgan

inside the Hybrid/64bit/Vapoursynth-folder installs it.

Hi there, thank you. I must say I'm not familiar with Python. I just wanna clean up videos. ; )

Just installed Python from the MS Store, and then calling those two commands from the command prompt within Hybrid's Vapoursynth folder seems to install files into the Python folder (AppData>Local>Packages>Python...), so this doesn't work.

Since a complete R65 package might be useful for others with the same R68 issues, maybe you could create it, complete with all filters...? 😇

Thanks!

Just installed Python from the MS Store,...

Why?
Hybrid does come with its own portable Python (in the Vapoursynth folder), installing a system-wide Python will only create problems.
=> Deinstall the system-wide Python, and like I ask, call those calls inside the Vapoursynth-folder.

Since a complete R65 package might be useful for others with the same R68 issues, maybe you could create it, complete with all filters...? 😇

This is unlikely to happen, since current Vapoursynth is R69 now, so I in a few weeks, R68 will be abandoned too.

Ah, R65 did not properly set the dependencies, so you might have to additionally call

set PATH="PATH TO Vapoursynth\torch_dependencies\bin\";%PATH%

where you have to adjust 'PATH TO Vapoursynth' before calling 'python -m vsrealesrgan'

Because I'm a noob. ; )

Ah nice, maybe I can use Hybrid normally again then. : )

Ok, so I uninstalled Python, I set the path, everything seemed to install fine, but when clicking on Preview this pops up:

No clue,... I have never seen that error.
Maybe trying to get R68 working might be the better goal. :/

Bummer. : ( I certainly regret having deleted the old R65 download I got from your site earlier this year.

If you happen to find yourself so utterly bored that you create a new R65 package including ESRGAN, do let me know. ; )
