windows: command failed

[tunonnaemiliana]

I'm on windows and I am unable to run spleeter-native.

Spleeter per se seems to be running fine

Even check-install.py is not complaining

And yet:

comment: doesn't understand "bang" js: js: no function set [main.js] comment: doesn't understand "spleeterDone"

And i don't know why. I've tried running it as an administrator: it yielded the same results.

The spleeter-native folder is in documents and i haven't touched it.

most of those errors don't actually matter, but the "command failed" line means that max wasn't able to run the spleeter separate command from within node. i'm a little baffled given that it works on the command line.

just to clarify, are you running both spleeter and max as admin?

No I'm not. Spleeter cli seems to be working fine when run as normal user and as admin. I've tried doing like #7 said but spleeter-native yielded the same result. Spleeter cli worked fine too, thus I am not running spleeter as an admin anymore :/

i think there was some cases where you had to run spleeter.exe as admin for it to work in max, even if it works without admin on the command line.

could you try this:

1. in the spleeter-native folder, open spleeter.js in a text editor
2. replace this line with const cmd = 'spleeter -h'
3. restart ableton, try running the device again and post a screenshot of the max console

[tunonnaemiliana]

makes sense :) So i changed that line. Max is now saying that it can't find the file but spleeter seems to be working fine

[diracdeltas]

cool, so spleeter is indeed callable from Max.

where is the actual file you're trying to separate? in the first screenshot it's in Users/user/Downloads but in the error message it's looking in Documents.

what happens in the command prompt if you cd into the spleeter-native folder, and then run the exact command shown in https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/38960595/101546260-d40f6600-39a8-11eb-9c6e-8d12b05d77b6.PNG ?

god i feel so dumb. Initially spleeter separate -i "Tom Misch NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert [2020-12-10 003922].wav" -o npr2 -p spleeter:4stems-16kHz wasn't giving any output. I tried cutting the audio file and to my surprise it actually worked

After reverting that line, the errors are still there, but spleeter-native works nonetheless.

god i feel so dumb I just had to shorten the audio sample jee

[tunonnaemiliana]

Still, are those errors supposed to be there?

[diracdeltas]

@tunonnaemiliana awesome, glad it worked! yep, those other error messages are not actual errors.

yeah, thanks for the help, I'm tipping 5$ on bandcamp :) Keep it up!
