same problem.

Recently it has worked on my both computers.

Hi Danne!
Thjanks for you answer.
 I don´t  have the knowledge to compile a version, sorry.

Thx! "Unfortunately" it works also on my Macs. Can't get it to crash...

That is the reason I built a simple one click solution:

Download this:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/mlv-app-danne/downloads/Mlv_App_compiler.app.zip

First time press ctrl and choose open, then follow instructions.

@Masc
Downloaded your new version! Thanks for your efforts! It worked fine!

[Petter Sand]

@Danne
Thanks!
I just tested version 0.16 that works fine!

[ilia3101]

Oh wow @Danne did it! Missed it earlier. I will test out the compiler 💚

[Danne]

Cool, let me know what could be better in there

[Erik Krause]

@Erik Krause: It seems bouncyball compiled and uploaded v0.16 Win64 version already with my latest fix. So try out this one please!

Works (almost)! I can open the questionable files directly or by drag and drop. Only if I choose Pattern Noise On it crashes.

The 700D has focus pixels (in my example best visible in the last frame). However, if I use Fix Focus Dots - no matter in what combination - I can see no effect. Only if I set Chroma Smooth to 3x3 they are gone. Is this to be expected?

I don't get it crashed when using "Pattern Noise On" on your clip on Win or OSX.
I think focus pixel can't work, because your camera model can't be identified - do you remember, there was this wrong camera name...
@bouncyball, am I right? You implemented it to MLV App...
Edit: yes, when hardcoding "it is a 700D!!!" in the code focus pixels work - so in your clip something is wrong.

Camera name does not matter the cameraID (model ID) is important. I don't think mlv_rec/mlv_lite will mess up the camera model ID durung MLV recording. However it's gonna be interesting to take a look at this MLV.

@Danne

Mlv_App_compiler.app is ridiculously easy solution! You took to a higher new level the care about MAC users!

[Danne]

You're too kind B .
Mlv app project deserves all the attention it can get imo.

[Erik Krause]

I don't get it crashed when using "Pattern Noise On" on your clip on Win or OSX.

It's repeatable. I import a clip and click Pattern Noise: On, after few seconds of wait cursor the windows crash dialog appears.

I tried to edit the MLV with a hex editor inserting "Canon EOS 700D" (null terminated) instead of the odd string at offset 248 and the CameraModel number at offset 280 (0x80000326) and it works! Many thanks!

I have a little UI whish: Would it be possible to have the sliders return to default position on double clicking the slider button?

Done. Comes with the next release, or you compile yourself.

I still can activate and deactivate Pattern Noise as often as I like with your clip...  Sry... no idea what is going on.

I digged in the event log and found that ntdll.dll is involved. So I updated my graphics driver and I updated windows to the April 2018 version (1803) to no avail. sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth found no problems. Still interesting that it only happens with the EOS 700D MLV's. Files from my 5D2 (timelaps with 2040x1268px) work fine. It's not super important, but if I can help, tell me...

Thank you

Cool. Which version do you recommend? ffmpeg-release-64bit-static.tar.xz ?

Only now, I found some minutes to test the Linux-desktop-file (created with the .pro file). Works perfect here in openSUSE. Thanks for adding.

Great, that you added ffmpeg-static to the sources. I played a bit around in the .pro-file. With this command, I succeded in unpacking only the ffmpeg-bin out of ffmpeg-static and copying it to $HOME/bin. So you don´t need to unpack ffmpeg manually.

Code: [Select]

linux-g++ {
    target.path = $$(HOME)/bin
    desktop.path = $$(HOME)/.local/share/applications
    desktop.files += mlvapp.desktop
    icon512.path = $$(HOME)/.local/share/icons/hicolor/512x512/apps
    icon512.files += RetinaIMG/MLVAPP.png

    INSTALLS += target desktop icon512
   
    QMAKE_POST_LINK += $$quote(tar -C $$(HOME)/bin -xvJf FFmpeg/ffmpegLinux.tar.xz --strip=1 --wildcards */ffmpeg)

}

I´m not sure, that this is a correct way for doing this. It was only try and error, what I did.

edit:

This one is working, too:

Code: [Select]

QMAKE_POST_LINK += tar -C $$(HOME)/bin -xvJf FFmpeg/ffmpegLinux.tar.xz --strip=1 --wildcards */ffmpeg

Thx @escho! I commited your line to the .pro file into the repos!

Great. Tested it. Works.
Than I can update my compile-guides.

To make things more easy for me, I wrote a git-clone and compile-bash-script for openSUSE. If someone is interested, I can upload it to my homepage ( https://sternenkarten.com/ )

[Danne]

I have a git question. I downloaded https://github.com/ilia3101/MLV-App to my computer locally and then I usually update this branch and compile to get the latest stuff like this:

Code: [Select]

git pull https://github.com/ilia3101/MLV-AppAfter running this it says all is updated but when testing the newly compiled build there are things missing such as double clicking sliders and other things from masc recently. A solution is to erase the older downloaded repo and redownload a new one from  https://github.com/ilia3101/MLV-App but this shouldn´t be necessary. Is git pull  https://github.com/ilia3101/MLV-App the way to go or what am I missing here?

[escho]

Did you try:

Code: [Select]

git pull https://github.com/ilia3101/MLV-App.git
and if this doesn´t help, here is a snippet from my ML-Compile-script. This is hg, but maybe, tjhat can help:

Code: [Select]

repo_clonen()
{
    echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
    echo "------------------------------clone -------------------------------------------"
    echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
    cd $hauptverzeichnis
    hg clone -r "$branch" "$adresse"
   
    echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
    echo "-------------------------------pull -------------------------------------------"
    echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
    cd $hauptverzeichnis/branch
    hg pull
   
    echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
    echo "------------------------------update ------------------------------------------"
    echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
    hg update
}

[Danne]

Thanks escho. With hg commands I get all updates done with other proggies I work on but not with git commands. I also tried :

Code: [Select]

git pull https://github.com/ilia3101/MLV-App.gitWith the same results. Latest commits missing...

[escho]

Than go to your local clone and do only

Code: [Select]

git pull
Tested it with an older mlvapp-backup. Works for me.
