Topic: Waiting for ffdshow video (User name in Chinese)

I install everything from SVP 3.1.2 Full and follow the solution in FAQ.
The ffdshow raw video filter works perfectly.
But SVP Manager still tells me "wating for ffdshow video".
How can I solve this problem?


I'm using Windows 7 64bit.

- MPC-HC is a 32-bit version?
- MPC-HC and SVP Manager is running under the same user?

Re: Waiting for ffdshow video (User name in Chinese)

Run both SVP Manager and player from Windows Explorer window.
If problem still present then show your last launch log: SVP tray menu - Show - Last launch log.

When the player starts playing I can't right click the SVP Manager.
I play the video for 1 minute before I close the player.
And the Last launch log shows like that:

Re: Waiting for ffdshow video (User name in Chinese)

I'm not sure, MAG79 knows better, but start with adding %appdata%\SVP 3.1 folder to your anti virus exclusion list.

Re: Waiting for ffdshow video (User name in Chinese)

...and check that folder permissions.

It is very strange. It must work when playing.
As Chainik said, Have you permission to access to %appdata% folder?
What exact version of windows do you using? Is it official version?

22:25:35.236; GetDimensionAndFPS_Grab start
22:26:40.481; RefreshSVP

This is the place of problem: GetDimensionAndFPS_Grab can not work fine.

Re: Waiting for ffdshow video (User name in Chinese)

Try hidden setting VarChkDimAndFps=2
1. Choose Interface type - Expert
2. Information - Hidden settings - change value of VarChkDimAndFps, close and save
3. Relaunch SVP Manager

I'm using MSE and comodo. Both of their exclusion list has added the folder. Still the same situation.

I follow the steps here to change the folder permissions:

SVP manager still can't work most of the time.
It shows the error occasionally.(see picture below)

I change that.But it doesn't work. Even the error didn't show up again.

It looks like kind of Unicode trouble.
Try to add English-named user and play same video under that user. If it will work I will have to prepare and give you debug version to find and fix this error.

Thank you! It works!
The original user name is Traditional Chinese.

Re: Waiting for ffdshow video (User name in Chinese)

Here the debug version of SVP Manager.

Installation instruction.
Exit from SVP Manager, unpack, replace SVPMgr.exe and relaunch SVP Manager.

Please post here last launch log on this debug version of SVP Manager after error occurs again. Do it from Unicode-named user (in Traditional Chinese).

Sorry I gave a wrong version of the windows.It's x64 version.
I don't know whether it will affect or not.
It still can play under Unicode-named user.

Thank you.

Opps! This is the cause! It must be short UTF8 path. Like "folder~1".
Please show log file entirely. I need first two lines where presents Unicode and UTF8 paths.

Thanks. Oh! I see.
UTF8 path not created because Unicode path not detected. It is strange. I will change detection algorithm.
Tomorrow will be available debug version #2 of SVP Manager.

Re: Waiting for ffdshow video (User name in Chinese)

lkk_12342001
I decided to disable Unicode detection. Here UTF-8 version of SVP Manager.

Installation instruction.
Exit from SVP Manager, unpack, replace SVPMgr.exe and relaunch SVP Manager.

Please check how it works and post here last launch log after playing the same video file. Do it from Unicode-named user (in Traditional Chinese).
