[steady oak]

yes

i was able to install smoothie

this time

but when i open it, it first said "ffmpeg etc failed"

[steady oak]

now it just crashes once i open it and select the clip to interpolate

[cosmic basin]

@sturdy yacht should we make a screenshotting guide

[sturdy yacht]

win+shift+s

[sturdy yacht]

way too vague

Please provide any form of a full error

[steady oak]

i am no AI to read what it showed for a split sec

[steady oak]

it doesnt show anything for me to ss

it just opens a black window

in command prompt

[sturdy yacht]

open up cmd

[steady oak]

ok

[sturdy yacht]

then type in cd %USERPROFILE%\Videos

[steady oak]

alr

[sturdy yacht]

then sm -i <your video> -v

[steady oak]

this is what it shows

when i click send to

[sturdy yacht]

check task manager

[steady oak]

or select a clip

[sturdy yacht]

don't use sendto

[steady oak]

alr

[sturdy yacht]

open cmd and then go into the videos directory

[steady oak]

i tried selecting clips from the app as well

ok

[sturdy yacht]

[steady oak]

sm -i <mop.mp4> -v

is this correct

or do i just put the clip's name without .mp4

[sturdy yacht]

without the <>

[steady oak]

ok

sm -i mop.mp4 -v

error

[sturdy yacht]

type this in cmd

notepad "%USERPROFILE%\scoop\apps\smoothie\current\smoothie\src\exec.py"

[steady oak]

alr

a notepad opened up

[sturdy yacht]

hit ctrl+f and look for stats_period

[steady oak]

alr

found it

        command = [ # This is the master command, it gets appended some extra output args later down
        f'"{vspipe}" "{vpy}" --arg input_video="{path.abspath(video)}" --arg mask_directory="{mask_directory}" -y - ',
        f'{conf["encoding"]["process"]} -hide_banner -loglevel error -stats -stats_period 0.15 -i - ',

[sturdy yacht]

remove -stats_period 0.15

[steady oak]

ok

[sturdy yacht]

then save the file

[steady oak]

alr

        command = [ # This is the master command, it gets appended some extra output args later down
        f'"{vspipe}" "{vpy}" --arg input_video="{path.abspath(video)}" --arg mask_directory="{mask_directory}" -y - ',
        f'{conf["encoding"]["process"]} -hide_banner -loglevel error -stats -i - ',

top 10 reasons to do "scoop install smoothie" instead of "irm smoothie.ctt.cx|iex"

[sturdy yacht]

smoothie bug

[sturdy yacht]

fr

[raw night]

not a bug

[sturdy yacht]

it is

[raw night]

misc:
mpv bin: mpv
stay on top: false
verbose: false
ding after: 1
folder:
container: .MP4
flavors: fruits
dedupthreshold: 0

[sturdy yacht]

works for you

[raw night]

"container:"

[sturdy yacht]

oh it needs to be capital or smth

[sturdy yacht]

doesnt work gives no context

[steady oak]

I'll try capitalizing it when I'm home

[cosmic basin]

triple chec' ur using the yaml and not the ini

!rc

[shy marlin]

Smoothie 0.7 release candidate 2 still comes with the old .ini config, open the latest one by typing rc in Windows+R, I advise you delete the .ini one so you don't mismatch them again

This will get fixed in the next update dw

[steady oak]

oh

I think I used the .ini

I can't recall

but that might just be it, I'll try when I'm home

[steady oak]

nvm i was using the yaml

[inner obsidian]

Hi, i need some help, smoothie cannot find the file specified. when i try send to with smoothie, it just opens command prompt for half a second then it closes.

[cosmic basin]

can you specify the whole path to Bone

[inner obsidian]

"C:\Users\leeji\Videos\bones.mp4"

nevermind

I got it working, I reinstalled scoop and updated my ffmpeg

Do y'all experience crashes when rendering though?

[sturdy yacht]

no

[inner obsidian]

my pc kept crashing whne rednering

with blur and smoothie

[sturdy yacht]

drivers/windows/overclock issue

or something is just unstable

or absurd settings

[inner obsidian]

i updated my drivers and windows

could it be my memory clock

[sturdy yacht]

gpu/system?

[inner obsidian]

5900x , 32gb 3600mhz, rtx 3080

ill try downclocking my ram and see what happens

[sturdy yacht]

are you using xmp

/docp

[inner obsidian]

Yeah I am

Docp

[sturdy yacht]

that shouldn't be an issue

show smoothie config

[inner obsidian]

One sec

Great my pc ain't even booting no more

[sturdy yacht]

tf

[inner obsidian]

Is aight I'll fix it give me some time

[inner obsidian]

[sturdy yacht]

2. use H264 NVIDIA

[inner obsidian]
