Can someone please help - i am a noob with this - i have followed the steps in the OP and included the following code in the C:/ but getting a syntax error. What is the 'mount point'?

I am on windows 10.

Need to learn how to use this program to decode MLV Lite files. At the moment MLViewer is showing pitch black screens of video recorded with the MLV Lite module.

updated the MLVFS_x64.zip, please retry

Sorry guys but for me I find this hard to believe that no other Mac users is experiencing what I am going through for the past week or so...

It's rather quite annoying and I've also trying deleting .IDX and .MRX files just to be sure as well as updating/downgrading OS X FUSE to no avail.

[dmilligan]

Anything in ~/mlvfs.log? Any crash logs?

[DeafEyeJedi]

I'm afraid I may be doing this incorrectly via Terminal...

> updated the MLVFS_x64.zip, please retry

with new one - copy/creation of file/dir is the same (no avail) as described above.
one minor change to root dir - .IDX files disappeared (good), .Mxx files are still there (bad)

Try 'cat ~/mlvfs.log' to show the contents in the terminal window or 'open ~/mlvfs.log' to try opening it with the osx log reader. Or point Finder to your home directory, probably /Users/DeafEyeJedi.

[g3gg0]

@DeafEyeJedi can you please describe textually what problem you are experiencing?

@DeafEyeJedi can you please describe textually what problem you are experiencing?

Well I believe this whole 'culprit' of mine started around the time when the Windows version of MLVFS was finally released by @dmilligan (which I am happy about since we want more users to come on board with us) however it is my understanding that this anomaly shouldn't be occurring with different types of MLV files from 5D3, 7D, EOSM or even SL1 which used to work without the infamous web gui error (hence in my video above) which shows some 5D3 wont work and some would along with 7D files working just fine. It's just so random to me.

I then was suggested by @dfort to go ahead and downgrade to an older version of MLVFS (Version: 1bc6f7f 2016-02-04 03:51:18) which seems to be working fine on my end with the same exact files that weren't working earlier with the latest version of MLVFS. Not sure why though and I can't seem to find any crash logs probably because it hasn't crashed yet.

Try 'cat ~/mlvfs.log' to show the contents in the terminal window or 'open ~/mlvfs.log' to try opening it with the osx log reader. Or point Finder to your home directory, probably /Users/DeafEyeJedi.

Tried all these to no avail. Thanks for the courtesy tho and much appreciated. So I would like to help further down by narrowing down this so called 'culprit' since I can now open all the files that I wouldn't be able to run with your latest MLVFS as oppose to the Feb 3rd version.

Any ideas/suggestions is welcome...

as i am on a slow network i cannot watch this video and cannot understand what the problem in general is.

[DeafEyeJedi]

With all the MLV Files that I am trying to work on my Mac (mostly 5D3 with 7D and few SL1) which doesn't work with latest MLVFS (Version: a853aac 2016-02-10 02:05:13) but then once I downgrade to an older version of MLVFS (Version: 1bc6f7f 2016-02-04 03:51:18) which works fine like normal and can work on them in Post with no problems.

So AFAIK something happened between those two dates somewhere in the source code of some kind.

[g3gg0]

what does "does not work" mean?

[g3gg0]

@bouncyball:
thanks, i found the reason. didnt create the .MLD properly

[DeafEyeJedi]

what does "does not work" mean?

•Not working (Version: a853aac 2016-02-10 02:05:13) = (screenshot below)


•Working (Version: 1bc6f7f 2016-02-04 03:51:18) = (screenshot below)

[dmilligan]

Sorry, there's a dot.

Code: [Select]

cat ~/.mlvfs.log


[DeafEyeJedi]

Okay so now this brings me to another question ... Do I run this command while running the older version of MLVFS that works or with the latest one that's supposedly causing problems on my end?

I would assume to go with the latest one since that's the one that you guys want to know, correct?

Thanks, D!

[dmilligan]

That is just a log file. When you run MLVFS using the Automator workflow, the standard output is written to that file. The cat command simply displays the file, alternatively you can open it with a text editor or whatever.

I posted about the new Mac build being DOA a while back http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=13152.msg162129#msg162129

Put MLVFS through its paces again today with a variety of MLV_Lite generated files that included single/multi-chunk mlvs, auto stopped mlvs due to frame skipping and one crash mlv when it tried to switch from 5x to 10 recording. All good, no bad frames that I could find and no error messages in the mlvfs cmd window.

Camera is a 7D.

Hey, great! Can you post new binaries?
