Topic: Last update broke SVPTube for me. [Solved]

No video link work anymore for me it just says "Waiting for URL...."
It worked perfectly for me before today's update.

And i have really noticed how much i use it everyday now smile I really miss it.

I have tried to restarting SVP but that does not help.
I have tried from chrome and vivaldi browser but it does not work anymore.

Re: Last update broke SVPTube for me. [Solved]

any errors on the log?

the main difference is Python 3.8 vs 3.7

Re: Last update broke SVPTube for me. [Solved]

Yes there are error i noticed now when i checked.

"10:22:50.690 [W]: ImportError('DLL load failed while importing _ctypes: Felaktig parameter.')
10:22:50.691 [E]: Tube: youtube_dl module import failed"

Is there anything i can do to fix it?

Re: Last update broke SVPTube for me. [Solved]

search for python38.dll

Re: Last update broke SVPTube for me. [Solved]

I replaced "svptube.dll in SVP 4\extensions\ and main.dll in SVP 4\extensions\tube" with your updated versions
And then i restarted SVP
But that did not fix it.

And the only python38.dll i have on my system is
in SVP 4 Pro\mpv32 &
in SVP 4 Pro\mpv64

Errors from the log
13:26:44.293 [W]: ImportError('DLL load failed while importing _ctypes: Felaktig parameter.')
13:26:44.293 [E]: Tube: youtube_dl module import failed

I also tried after today's SVPmanager update but no change.

Re: Last update broke SVPTube for me. [Solved]

run mpv32\python.exe, type 'import ctypes' - does it work?

Re: Last update broke SVPTube for me. [Solved]

I don't think it worked.

Here is what python said when i tried

">>> import ctypes
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<frozen zipimport>", line 259, in load_module
  File "ctypes\__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _ctypes: Felaktig parameter
>>>"

But maybe i did something wrong, here is the full cmd window text when I tried.

"C:\Users>cd..

C:\>cd C:\Program Files (x86)\SVP 4 Pro\mpv32

C:\Program Files (x86)\SVP 4 Pro\mpv32>python.exe
Python 3.8.2 (tags/v3.8.2:7b3ab59, Feb 25 2020, 22:45:29) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (In

Re: Last update broke SVPTube for me. [Solved]

ok, this is probably the good news... cause it's definitely not our fault big_smile

is it possible you have some files broken? hmm

take the official distro - https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.2 … -win32.zip
and unpack into into mpv32 folder

Re: Last update broke SVPTube for me. [Solved]

Ok....

I downloaded and unpacked python in the mpv32 folder.
But there is no change.
Same error in the SVP log and same error in the python import ctypes error message.

There is no reason to think my system has broken files because as i said it worked perfectly with svptube before the update.
If anything broke, it happened with the new version of svptube otherwise i would not be here asking for help.

Re: Last update broke SVPTube for me. [Solved]

If Python itself doesn't run properly on your system it's either Python's fault or your system's fault. Not SVPtube's.

Try previous versions:
3.8.1 - https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.1 … -win32.zip
3.8.0 - https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.0 … -win32.zip

BTW, what is your OS?

Re: Last update broke SVPTube for me. [Solved]

I have fixed the problem, everything works great now smile
It was a known (by python devs) issue with my windows (windows 7 service pack 1) and python 3.8
I was missing update KB2533623 in my system.

Sorry for the trouble and thanks for trying to help.
