[dimzon]

get it here

Warning! It's beta!

Licence problem discussed and solved here

I've recompiled this component with a more recent SDK, plus some minor changes such as allocation guarding and variable sizes. Please test.

The component is available here.

Thanks, you are hero!

Works as expected. New playground

I noticed there's a hitch with relative paths in the scripts, which seem to depend on the current working directory of the process. I'm not sure there's any way I can tell AviSynth how to correctly resolve relative paths.

The reason for this problem is that it uses the Eval function on the loaded script, rather than passing the path to the Import function, which would not support Unicode paths, but would tell AviSynth how to resolve relative paths.

I suppose I can limit it to supporting only ANSI paths, since the script functions that accept paths already have the same limitation. I'll post about it if I decide to make this change.

To translate that: even if avs script file is in folder as the source it refers, you must use absolute path for source i.e. DirectShowSource("D:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB") - full path

I've tested it with every possible avisynth plugin that I have, and it's just great
Some random freezing like the one with reletive paths, but then on portable install everything is OK

I can only suggest that in properties dialog (AVISYNTH SCRIPT tag) we could access the script (change/save)

And, I can only encourage you about paths, because all players with avisynth support don't have this problem

Could we have a pack with the audio plugins for avisynth?

I've updated to 0.2, downloadable here.

Now relative paths work properly, although it will only accept local unpacked files with valid ANSI paths.
It also supports script editing through the normal file properties dialog. You'll probably want to configure "AviSynth script" as a multi-line tag in the Advanced Preferences dialog.

Thanks for improvements, but I probably did poorly testing yesterday:

foobar (portable - no other components) crashes too ofter and continuously at least here:

DirectShowSource with AC3Filter (I use it as DS filter, don't know if it's related to it)
ffmpegSource
QTInput

Other players don't have problems, i.e. VirtualDub, MPC...

I'll test more with other plugins later
