[HELP] Problems on Apple Silicon

[Kup]

Hello. I am trying to launch Hybrid on Mac mini m4. For some reason it works unstable. I faced different errors. Here are some of them:

• Set absolute path crashed
  
• File temp/..... was not created
  

I found out the program works better if I run
xattr -rc [directory I am working in]
before processing the video. Thus the problem may be caused by security system of OS X. Have anyone faced the same problems? How can I fix hem permanently?

1. no debug output => no clue what you are doing
2. yes, it's probably related to macOSs security features
wild guess: make sure that the temp path isn't in some virtual folder

Sorry, here is log and screen recording of my actions. Unfortunately, Hybrid doesn't create any debug log and I can show only regular one.

As you can see the app itself, temp directory, in and out file are in ~/Downloads directory

[Selur]

a. Normally [code[xattr -rc „Path to Hybrid.app“ [/code] ans allowing Hybrid access to the folders when macOS asks for it, should be enough.
b. It's strange that 'system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType' does not come back in time. (you did apply 1., right?)
c. Does '/User/andrew/Downloads/debug/temp' exist ? (if not debug output will be disabled, on startup since the temp path doesn't exist; Assuming the creation of the debug output is enabled.)
d. Does '/User/andrew/Downloads/temp' exist ? (if not debug output will be disabled, on loading the source since the temp path doesn't exist; Assuming the creation of the debug output is enabled.)

a. I have tried both

xattr -rc ~/Downloads/Hybrid.app

and 

xattr -rc ~/Downloads/

but none of the helped. I have also given Hybrid.app full access to the the drive via system settings

b. You mean a.? Yes, it did't help. 

(you did apply 1., right?)

c. d. Thank you! I managed to get debug log. Added it to the google drive folder

P.S. Seems something is wrong with mencoder and ignore list

Path to mencoder is empty, so adjusting the path to an absolute path crashes.
Prefering FFMpeg as decoder ('Config->Input->Decoding->Prefer FFmpeg') might help.

Oh! Now it works. I managed to covert video to h.264. 

Now I am trying to deinterlace same video with QTGMC and convert it to FFV1. I get another error I have told before

/Users/andrew/Downloads/temp/[something] was not created!

Could you watch a new log? May be you can help?

Does the Vapoursynth Preview work?
What does the DebugOutput show?

[Kup]

Preview doesn't work. I added paths you have suggested here
https://forum.selur.net/thread-3937-page-6.html
but it didn't solve the problem completely.

I added debug output to google drive folder

Normally, following the steps from the README.md should be enough,...
