It might be a problem on my side, but it seems like the behavior of the Q/SET Button changed again. It's now the same way as on stock, if I press it, I immediately get into the quick settings instead of having to press it for 2 seconds. This makes auto ettr not functional, since with the new method of FRSP i can't really use double click half shutter.

Am I missing something here or did it change for everyone?

Just did a quick test with the newest build and recorded some video playing on my monitor in 5x Zoom and didn't see any hiccups. But i got different resolution options, now i got 1920x1078 . I also have (probably even before the latest build) problems with my SD Card which i have to figure out first to do real test with real recording times and resolution, but so far I didn't see any hiccup I used fps override to go from 30fps to 24.

I will try to do a full test soon but just came across this idea: Did anyone try it with mv720 and fps override? I just tried it very quick and the file came out almost fine. Maybe there is a chance in seeing what happens there and if there is any significant difference ?

I'll try, thanks for your help If I'll find what's causing the problems I will report it here in case someone else has it too. And the x86 version works fine. I deleted the html files while testing out different versions of mlvfs and forgot to add them again... So I can at least test it now.

I now did, but still mlvfs crashes when i try to open it. It works fine on my Laptop, which is pretty much the same software, Windows 10 x64 Home. Any other runtime library I have to install?

I have a problem with both the x64 and x86 version of this version of mlvfs. I downloaded and installed dokany 1.0.5 64Bit and installed it. Then i downloaded the file "mlvfs.exe" from bouncyballs repo. I placed it into "C:\mlvfs" and copied the fpm files into the folder. When i open the command prompt and type in "mlvfs.exe x: --mlv_dir=C:\mlv\in" mlvfs just stops working. When I do the same thing with the x86 version of mlvfs, it creates the new drive and shows my files but i cant open localhost:8000 or rather it is just a white page. My system is Windows 10 x64 with newest updates installed (Fall creators update).

What am I missing here? Would be nice to use the x64 version and be able to test out the fpm files dfort created for the 100D and be able to set options inside the browser.

@Dfort
If you can provide a build I'd be happy to test it for you. If you need anything else, just let me know!

I shot the test pattern in different modes on the 100D. (8...11 Bit lossless, 12 Bit lossless each in mv1080, mv1080moviecrop, mv1080_5xZoom). The settings used were f4, shutter 1/50th, ISO 200 and manual WB at 6100 Kelvin (WB adjust with PushWB from shortkey menu in liveview) exposure was measured as about 1 stop underexposed.

If this is usefull to anyone you can download it here:

Edit: I used the build IDA linked in this post. I was not able to record continuously with the above settings and even got some errors when i tried to record 14 bit lossless. Had to restart the camera after i tried. 

Had a similar problem with a specific configuration with the 100d once. I used fps overeride and 10bit lossless and it crahed. When i processed the file with mlv_dump on steroids i saw there was a frame missing somewhere in the middle, like frame 333 jumped to 335.

Maybe its the same here?

Thanks IDA for this detailed information. I tried a build i found (somewhere, not sure where) from Danne sound for losless. But I always had out of sync sound. Is this resolved with the newest build? And is there any info on ISO settings wich should be avoided for the different modes? Thanks again to everyone involved for this great software, your hard work and all the info on it!

I don't know how to compile the exe from Linux. But qmake creates automatically the makefile for a Qt project (.pro file).

Okay let me rephrase. Whats the best way to compile this for Windows ? The Git page only shows how to do it for cocoa and mac.

Would anybody care to explain how i can compile the qt version on Windows using Linux subsytem? I'm fairly new at this and only followed the instruction to compile ML which was great and worked well. I already cloned git repository on my disk but was unable to use make in qt folder since there is no make file (i guess).

For me it works just removing the SD Card and start Camera with simple Canon fw. Then switch Focus back, turn camera off, insert SD card with nightly Build and turn camera back on.

Sep30 Nightly Build works again! Changed Focus with Jul Build to Single zone and now it boots. I had Jul12th Build installed and deleted ML files, without formatting, copied fresh Sep10th Build over to SD Card and now it works.

Edit: Pretty sure now: face detection and single focus work, multi instantly shuts the camera down and brings boot problem. Remove battery and sd card, start Camera without SD card, switch back to single focus, camera boots again. Works every time.

Edit: All logs created with latest Nightly version and stubstest: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwcFy_euKD1JRkFLRDRzQ0R2RVE

@nikfreak: Okay, unfortunately I deleted the log files. I remember something called "assert....log" but I'm not sure.  Also I just did as you said, removed battery, formatted SD Card in Computer, afterwards in camera and did a fresh install of ML. Still the same issue. After rebooting (as mentioned in install process) the screen stays black, the red LED at the bottom right stays red. There are no new log files created. 

No I did not try silent.mo as far as I can remember. It should not have been on my sd card since I normally format the card before I switch to a new version of ML.

I will try again with latest build later today or tomorrow, not sure when I will find time. Im pretty sure there was a log file, I think I copied it to my PC, will look later today. But I'm not sure if it was already there before the boot problem. I copied some mlv files and think I saw it there but the camera still worked after that.

That is correct. I was definitely experimenting with 10/12 Bit lossless and all the new good stuff. I remember getting different error codes, sometimes for the modules loaded or not being able to link some modules, but honestly I'm not sure what exactly was the last thing I tried. I switched a lot betweend mlv_lite.mo and mlv_rec.mo and got different error codes which I didn't understand and hadn't had the time to fully reproduce to report.

Here's a thing I found: Although the camera doesn't seem to boot up, when i look through the viewfinder I can see the lightmeter showing and can even change shuterspeed, apurture and ISO. Sometimes I'm even able to take a photo, but nothing gets saved to the SD Card. Im not sure if that's "normal" for the camera when it's not booting properly, but figured i'd share it with you guys.

I'm also able to compile ML now (I guess, really not sure what I'm doing, just followed the instructions) and compiled the rescue build, which boots up and shows some weird dots on the screen. I also compiled the nightly build without modules to see if there is anything happening different, but it's the same so far. I'll try to get QEMU working by tomorrow and perform some more tests.

@OlRivrRat The Selftest should write a log to the SD card "stubtest.log" which you can share via pastebin or something like that. I ran the API test with Jul. 12 Build. Here's what i got: https://pastebin.com/ifjCsAqJ

Edit: Ok, here's how I'm able to take photos:
Turn camera off, detach lens, remove battery, remove SD card, attach lens again, insert battery, insert SD card, close battery door, turn camera on. Sometimes even autofocus works. But I'm not sure if this really is the way to take work everytime. Will test more tomorrow (if it's of any interest to anyone).

Edit2: If I compare mine and OlRivrRat's log, the only difference really is this "[Pass] PLAY_MODE => 0x0 SW1(1,100)" for mine on Jul 12th build while for him it's "[FAIL] PLAY_MODE => 0x1 SW1(1,100)" but I have absolutely no clue what that means.

I now have the same problem as nex. Yesterday everything worked fine, now somehow only July Build works. I'm not nearly as skilled as nex and have no clue about QEMU or compiling. I tried some different things though. I tried several SD Cards but none of them worked. I also tried to uninstall ML with EOS Card 1.4 and with the working July build. And i installed Canon Firmware 1.0.1 again and tried installing ML again but nothing worked.

Just downloaded the build and tried mlv_rec with mlv_sound and had no problem at all. Was able to record multiple clips with sound turned on. Play them with latest MLV Producer and got good video and good sound!

I also tried mlv_lite without sound and without crop_rec and was also able to record some seconds before recording was stopped automatically.

Edit: When i try mlv_lite with crop_rec my bottom half of the screen goes white and when i hit record i get the message "Raw detect error"

What exactly do you mean with beep sound?

You guys are just amazing! Thanks so much for all your work!

I would love to help on the documentation and translation but i cant access your bitbucket links. And another Question: Why not use a normal wiki?

Downloaded and testet it: It works! Thank you guys very much!

Thanks @reddeercity, i'll give MLVProducer another try

@Danne: When i try to use cumstom blacklevel it somehow won't accept my input. You can see it in the screenshot below

It happened to all 10Bit files i recorded so far, as long as i don't use darkframe substruction. 12 and 14 Bit work perfectly with and without darkframes.
