Quote from: zenny on February 23, 2024, 06:21:45 AMThanks for prompt response.

I have the python3-docutils installed, but still get the error as follows:

cr2hdr.c:58:10: fatal error: module_strings.h: No such file or directory
   58 | #include "module_strings.h"


IIRC, I got that message, and I resolved it by switching to an older version of Linux (Ubuntu).

Edit: Here's the thread with my issue: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=20214.msg245901#msg245901

1) Does this happen even when shooting with plenty of light?
2) Have you tried manually focusing by eye to see if footage is still blurry?

@Frank7D, Yes, stretched, but only a little right?

Yes. I think the screen has a par like 1920x1280. Using 1920x1080p preview, a circle appears a bit taller than it is wide. But it's fine for framing, which was my main goal. Thanks again!

How does one create a focus pixel map for a particular camera model and picture size? I'm asking because I need a 1920x1080 1x1 map for 650D.

Edit: Following a tip, I renamed 80000301_1992x1308.fpm to 80000301_1992x1109.fpm and installed it in MLV App and it seems to work.

Also, if anyone needs to make a focus pixel map, here's dfort's tutorial: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=16054.msg227720#msg227720

One thing I see is that the preview image fills the whole screen, so I assume it's stretched vertically. This doesn't bother me, as the main thing is accurate framing, but I thought I'd mention it.
#6
It works! Thanks so much!
#7
Wow, thanks! I'll see if I can get it working with my 650D (despite having done zero ml coding before. I am an optimist.)
#8
Yes, but I don't see a 1920x1080 one. The closest is 1920x1280 (or maybe I am under hypnosis, or just blind)
#9
I'm wondering about the possibility of having a true preview for 1x1 1920x1080 crop video. Is it theoretically possible? I've never done any ml coding but I am able to compile using other people's repos, and maybe I could fiddle with it if I knew there was a chance.

Great news, thank you!
#11
Updated with compression ratio field ("Comp ratio").
At =1 there is no compression. From what I understand, ML lossless tends to run from .4 to .6, depending on the nature of the subject being shot, so .5 might be a good value to get an estimate.

Two things to try (if you haven't already):
1) Run benchmark test for the card (as discussed in the sd overclocking thread).
2) Try both Access Modes, SDR50 and SDR104. One of my cards writes faster with SDR104, and the other one with SDR50. You change it by highlighting SD Overclock and pressing Q.

The sd overclocking is discussed here: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=25841.0

Did you turn on the sd card overclocking?
#15
So I recently got a 650D so I could try out this build. The new previews plus the sd overclocking are very nice, thank you!
I have a question (and I apologize if it has already been answered):
I like to shoot 1920x1080 (x5 1:1 mode to avoid aliasing).
The closest crop mood preview I see for that is 1280P (1920x1280).
This preview matches the video perfectly horizontally but vertically displays extra image above and below the actual video frame.
Is this preview my best bet for proper framing?
#16
Installed Ubuntu 16.04 and now I can compile. Thanks so much for the help!
#17
Yes, and I have Bilal's version, but Danne's version has only been compiled for EOS M. (I actually don't have the camera yet to test, it's coming tomorrow)
Just for clarity, I didn't download Bilal's repo yet, just the build.
#18
Hi Walter, no I just got a 650D so I could try to get some new features that bilal and Danne have been working on.
#19
Thanks! I will try using an older linux, since I am hoping to try out some of Danne's tweaks, and don't know enough to transfer them to another repo.
Incidentally, my main cam is 7D, but I just bought a 650D so I could try out real-time preview that bilal and Danne have been working on.
#20
Sorry, my understanding of the terminology ("repo") is poor. I downloaded magic-lantern unified from https://foss.heptapod.net
Also I downloaded Danne's repository.
In neither one can I compile anything I've tried so far (like "mlv_rec")
Also, I made a "hello" module in magic-lantern following a1ex's guide which also didn't compile with the same error.
Actually, when I manually created a "module_strings.h" I was able to compile "hello" and it actually seemed to work when loaded in my camera, but without the notes about author and so forth.

Thanks. So I did that and it said it was already installed.
I still get the error message about module_strings.h when trying to compile.
However, I am using Ubuntu. Is that the issue?
#24
So I'm trying to do this (having never compiled or really done anything with Linux before) and I have a question about the file "module_strings.h"
It's referenced in various places (in file "module.h" and in file "Makefile.modules" that I've seen so far.)
I got an error saying it was missing when I first tried to compile a module.

My question is: What is the function of this "module_strings.h" file, and how is it supposed to be created? And can I solve my problem by creating it manually?
(I actually tried this, basing the file contents on something I found by googling, and I was able to compile, but I have a feeling there could be unpleasant consequences to this crude hack.)
#25
I take it there is no build for the 7D? Might have to invest in one of these other cameras...
