Completes at 50% output video is unplayable.

Completes at 50% output video is unplayable.

[sryug]

trying different videos gives the same results so far

[k4yt3x]

For some reason it can't delete the temp folder according to your screenshot. It didn't even reach waifu2x.

[Smarthard]

i'm unclear on where the log is but here's this for now

@sryug all logs in the same directory where your video2x.py - video2x/bin/. Their names are like error_log_%date%-%number%.%number%

i'm unclear on where the log is but here's this for now

@sryug all logs in the same directory where your video2x.py - video2x/bin/. Their names are like error_log_%date%-%number%.%number%

Could you please post the error log content?

[sryug]

I don't seem to have that.
.

it is successfully deleting the temp folder though. I've watched it run, fill out the folder with images then poof disappear once it hits 50% and claims it has completed the operation.

[Smarthard]

@sryug which graphics card do you have? I had the same behavior on my nvidia grahics card when I tried to use gpu upscaling method without installed CUDA Toolkit.

[sryug]

it's a 1080gtx

[Smarthard]

ok then try to download and install this - CUDA Toolkit 10.1.

[sryug]

I just did and it did not fix the issue. I used the network installer from the page

[Smarthard]

@sryug in your very first message on the bottom of screenshot Permission Error has occured. But command prompt has runned with administrator rights. Hm... Maybe something is blocking this folder. I not sure.
Did you try any other video to upscale? Try to upscale demo sample for example

[sryug]

the sample video gives the same results. i've done a bunch of different videos of different lengths and get the same exact result every time. it cuts out at 50% progress.

I don't understand what is happening at 50% is the program starting some new operation at that point? according to the command line it has only finished upscaling half the images that it extracted. so I assume it is not even at the point where it recompiles it all into a video.
Is there a way to change the temp folder? I can set it to my desktop or C: and see how that goes.

[Smarthard]

Is there a way to change the temp folder?

I only know that in config file (video2x.json) you may specify input_path and output_path. Note that you need to escape backslashes in paths like that: C:\\Users\\th3_smart\\

[sryug]

I succeeded in changing the temp folder. you have to edit the line at the bottom "video2x_cache_folder" change the false statement into whatever file path you want.

unfortunately this didn't solve the issue

[sryug]

also I now realize it is not actually failing at 50% that is just the workload spread across two threads. so it's actually getting to 100% in upscaling the frames but fails to compile them into a video.

@sryug it IS actually failing at 50%. Progress of both threads are calculated.

Upscaling Progress: 50%|#########9 | 293/588 [05:54<05:20, 1.09s/it]?

The ??????? is error message printed in Japanese since waifu2x-caffe output is in Japanese. You'll have to change your cmd codec, otherwise we won't be getting any useful information out of that.

ok. I don't know what that means could you point me in the right direction?

[k4yt3x]

i'm unclear on where the log is but here's this for now

@sryug all logs in the same directory where your video2x.py - video2x/bin/. Their names are like error_log_%date%-%number%.%number%

Not quite. Most logs are only printed on screen to both stdout and stderr. Only Nvidia errors will be saved to the log format that you mentioned.

ok. I don't know what that means could you point me in the right direction?

instead of trying to fix waifu2x-caffe though, have you tried waifu2x-converter-cpp?

[sryug]

I've discovered a fix of sorts. if I limit it to one thread it works.
of course it's quite slow when I do this. I'll try the other converter later today once I figure out how to install it.

@sryug ok, glad to hear. Please keep me posted.
This is the only reported case for something similar.
