Stucked on Processing upscaled video

[Kolouch-Dominik]

Hi, I'm stuck on "Processing upscaled video" for about an hour. It would be nice to see some progress on processing. Or is this a bug?

Hi my friend,

i think there is an error with ffmpeg. The default ffmpeg is the version 4.2 that is not compatible with cpus with >= 16 threads.

To solve this issue you can 2 things:

1. Select in "CPU number" widget any value lower than 16

OR

1. Download the new version of ffmpeg (https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/)
2. Rename "ffmpeg.exe" as "ffmpeg_7.exe"
3. Put this file in "Assets" directory

I have this same problem with version 3.7 and the following settings: So not sure it's related to >=16 threads.

Hi my friend,

did you build QualityScaler from code? or did you download the version from itch or steam?

If you downloaded the version from code, you should also add the updated version of ffmpeg to the “Assets” folder:

1. download it from here https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/

2. Extract the ffmpeg.exe file from the folder and put it in the “Assets” folder

Because the default version of ffmpeg is very old and may have problems with many modern cpu's. And I can't put the updated version because it is too heavy for github :(

Hi,

I downloaded the zip file from the latest release (https://github.com/Djdefrag/QualityScaler/releases/tag/3.7) however I realised that this does not include ffmpeg.exe in the Assets folder.

It would be very helpful if this was mentioned somewhere in the instructions (https://github.com/Djdefrag/QualityScaler?tab=readme-ov-file#make-it-work-by-yourself-) as I had no idea this was missing until I checked after reading this issue.

However, even after putting the latest version of ffmpeg.exe in the directory it still got stuck on the Processing upscaled video step.

Hi my friend,

actually QualityScaler comes with ffmpeg 4.2 installed when you download all dependecies, you just updated the ffmpeg version.

it doesn't tell you anything in the terminal? no errors? if you open task manager do you see the ffmpeg.exe process working?

Hi, after adding ffmpeg.exe to the Assets folder and restarting the script it now progresses. I think I did this before, but I hadn't rerun the script after adding ffmpeg to the Assets folder, so perhaps it hadn't picked it up.

Yes, app requires reboot to resume the position of ffmpeg.
