Topic: transcoding broke after update

it worked fine before, then after I updated svp components and I get this error

Re: transcoding broke after update

looks strange
what's in the SVP's events log?
does normal playback works, especially via mpv?

normal playback works with mpv, svp only activates with mpc64 doesn't work with mpv or vlc as of updating
heres the event log

Re: transcoding broke after update

[E]: Script: override.js:26 - SyntaxError: Expected token `,'

there're errors in %APPDATA%\SVP4\override.js
remove it and restart SVP (or edit and fix errors if you added something there)

thanks for figuring it out could you tell me whats wrong with this? I was just following a random guide

/***** INSERT BELOW THIS LINE *****/
Block overlap [analyse_block_overlap] = 2
Main levels [analyse_main_levels]= 6
Penalty Lambda [analyse_main_penalty_lambda] = 10
Penalty LSAD [analyse_main_penalty_lsad] = 16,000
Penalty Global [analyse_main_penalty_pglobal] = 50
PLevel [analyse_main_penalty_plevel] = 4
PNbour [analyse_main_penalty_pnbour] = 100
PNew [analyse_main_penalty_pnew] = 100
Prev [analyse_main_penalty_prev] = 0
Penalty Zero Vector [analyse_main_penalty_pzero] = 75
Search distance [analyse_main_search_distance] = -1

Re: transcoding broke after update

16,000 - this cause the error
Format of your override.js file is wrong.
See file override_list.txt

Your line (wrong):

Penalty LSAD [analyse_main_penalty_lsad] = 16,000

override_list.txt line (proper):

analyse.main.penalty.lsad        = 8000;

Where did you get this wrong file?

Re: transcoding broke after update

conclusion: don't follow random guides big_smile

it was a reddit post but I didn't understand how to format the override file properly

Re: transcoding broke after update

If copy-paste fragment then it will not work at all.

Proper format introduced in file override_list.txt:

analyse.main.penalty.lsad        = 8000;

If fix all errors then it must become:

analyse.block.overlap = 2;
analyse.main.levels = 6;
analyse.main.penalty.lambda = 10;
analyse.main.penalty.lsad = 16000;
analyse.main.penalty.pglobal = 50;
analyse.main.penalty.plevel = 4;
analyse.main.penalty.pnbour = 100;
analyse.main.penalty.pnew = 100;
analyse.main.penalty.prev = 0;
analyse.main.penalty.pzero = 75;
analyse.main.search.distance = -1;

You can read about each setting here: https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/Manual:SVPflow
And if remove all default values you will get:

analyse.main.levels = 6;
analyse.main.penalty.lsad = 16000;
analyse.main.penalty.plevel = 4;
analyse.main.penalty.pnbour = 100;
analyse.main.penalty.pnew = 100;
analyse.main.penalty.pzero = 75;

I didn't check how works these settings so you can use them for you own risk.
