I am having issues with the animator. I have made animations in the past no problem. I try to make them now and i either get the hundreds of images OR nothing at ALL. I have uninstalled and reinstalled libfredo, FFFmpeg and it worked once, but now is not working.

Please advise.... thanks

Hello LibFredo6!! Just installed the new versions of animator and the library plugin. I use Vray next to render and i notice that after te first image is rendered Animator doesn't start with the second image. It just keeps counting the seconds even after the render is finished. I also noticed that in the menu, the preset dimensions are gone. I only have the viewport option.

Greetings, Simon

Could you open the Ruby Console before launching the video generation and check the traces and potential errors.
Can you also confirm the version of VRay you use. Thanks.

I'm having a " invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 error "
I watched your installation video 4 times, Searched about this error for days.
I found out that this might be a encoding problem, but I have no idea how to solve this problem.
please help .. Below is error log(?) when I restart SU after Libfredo6 installation.

It's definitely related to your Windows user name not in ascii.

Difficult to fix as there are so many situations.

If you agree, we could try to troubleshoot together the problem (I would send you some small lines of Ruby to test).

In the Ruby console, can you type (just copy / paste the statement and Enter)

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect

Then tell me what you see as a response

Fredo

manoamo

Thank you so much for your kind help! Much appreciated!!

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect
#Encoding:CP949

This is what I got !

Could you now execute the following commands in the Ruby console, one after the other

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")

a.encoding.inspect

Thanks

manoamo

Thank you so much for your kind help!

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect

#Encoding:CP949
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")
C:\Users\￈ﾫ﾿￬ﾺ￳\AppData\Local
a.encoding.inspect
#Encoding:UTF-8

This is what I got

a.encoding.inspect

This is what I got

Then, can you try the following commands

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub("\\", "/")

and then this command

LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV "LOCALAPPDATA"

@manoamo

Thank you. Very useful.

I think this is a bug in the core ruby engine.

I'll see what I can do in order to overcome the problem.
