Trying to get Hybrid running an an M1 Mac

[Miranda]

Sadly because Hybrid keeps crashing on my recently purchased Windows 11 PC, I am now hoping to be able to get it running on an M1 Mac running OS Sequoia (15.7.3) 

I've installed Vapoursynth via Homebrew

And then ran:

xattr -rc /Applications/Hybrid.app - but Terminal reports "permission Denied/Applications/Hybrid.app"

Hybrid is up and running, but although it starts off processing the audio files it fails to process the video. Is there another way to set the path to Vs?

Debug attached.

xattr must be called with sudo otherwise Hybrid would be restricted a lot by the OS,...
the

[yuv4mpegpipe @ 0x1307045a0] Header too large.

indicates that something is not working with Vapoursynth => check that the Vapoursynth Preview is working,...

[Miranda]

Thanks, but how do I call with sudo?

[Selur]

Instead of calling:

xattr -rc /Applications/Hybrid.app

you use:

sudo xattr -rc /Applications/Hybrid.app

this should trigger MacOS to ask for your password, to be sure you know what you are doing.
sudo = super user do

OK, I just ran:

sudo xattr -rc /Applications.Hybrid.app

I then entered my password but then nothing seems to have happened? Did it set something in the background?

[Selur]

This should allow the tools in Hybrid to be used at all.
There should be no visual effect or output.
=> Try Vapoursynth Preview, if it doesn't work share the error message.

Still no luck on the Mac. DeBug attached.

DebugOutput of another encoding try,..
Not what I asked for,...
Hybrid does call

"/opt/homebrew/bin/vspipe" "/Volumes/2TB-NTFS SSD/My Dear Killer/HybridTEMP/encodingTempSynthSkript_2026-07-08@16_52_19_9010_0.vpy" - --outputindex 0 -c y4m

and pipes that to ffmpeg.
What happens when you call:

"/opt/homebrew/bin/vspipe" "/Volumes/2TB-NTFS SSD/My Dear Killer/HybridTEMP/encodingTempSynthSkript_2026-07-08@16_52_19_9010_0.vpy" /dev/null --outputindex 0 -c y4m

Calling:

Gives:

Warning: Explicitly instantiated a Cache. This is no longer possible and the original clip has been passed through instead.

It creates a folder in which a file ending mkv.0.bsindx appears.

[Selur]

Okay, that seems fine.
Then what about the Vapoursynth Preview? Does it work?

It creates a folder in which a file ending mkv.0.bsindx appears.

That happens since bestsource is used.
