Provision of exe #70

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Is something packaged with exe such as waifu2x-caffe distributed? I want to spread it to general users! Java installation is cumbersome. Request the exe version. But, I am not familiar with the program. Please kindly answer someone.

Sorry, this sentence is written in English using Google Translate.

The current way of using Anime4K is by installing mpv (offline use) or to use it on the browser with WebGL (online use). I don't think it is useful to create a media player just for a simple shader like this. Best regards.

Thank you for your reply! I will try using mpv.

However, is there any easier way to use the Java version? Installing Java is hard for ordinary users. I want to use it like waifu2x-caffe. (Rather than upscaling in real time, you want to create upscaled files in advance.)

-Original（原文）- お返事ありがとうございます！ mpvを利用してみます。 しかしながら、Java版はもう少し手軽に利用できないのでしょうか？ Javaのインストールは一般的なユーザーにとって大変な作業です。 waifu2x-caffeのように利用したいです。 （リアルタイムにアップスケーリングするのでなく、あらかじめアップスケーリングしたファイルを作りたい）

@bloc97 Can you elaborate on how to use it on browser with WebGL?

bloc97 commented 4 years ago

@npkvis The Java version was just a proof-of-concept and was not designed to be used in production. If you want to convert video I would suggest using the GLSL shaders with ffmpeg directly, or use existing wrappers/pipelines that makes it easier for you, such as video2x. (Note that video2x currently uses the much older Java version (v0.9), and not the updated GLSL version (v2.0 RC3).)

@xpirad You can look at one example of video playback using WebGL in the folder /web. If you want to inject WebGL/GLSL code directly on websites, you would need special extensions for your browser.

@npkvis I just realized that mpv has built in transcoding. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/encoding.rst However, I do not know if it works with shaders.

Edit: On the other hand, when I release the TensorFlow version of Anime4K, you should be able to directly transcode video using ffmpeg-python.
