Plugins not appearing in Resolve

[masterex1000]

I'm currently using the Resolve 15 public beta to learn some video editing and I can across these plugins. I tried building them with Visual Studio 2017, but for some reason, that failed horribly, So I installed Natron to get the prebuilt binaries so I wouldn't need to figure out why the build didn't work. (I rarely venture into native development so it's all new to me, I wouldn't know where to start) I pulled the plugins that natron installed from "C:\Program Files\INRIA\Natron-2.3.12\Plugins\OFX\Natron", which were a bunch of *.ofx.bundle folders and I copied them to my "C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins" directory. After launching resolve I can't find the plugins anywhere. This is probably a problem that hopefully, has a simple fix that I'm not seeing.

The OFXPluginCache.xml file in my C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support dir also shows all off the bundles being detected, with an entry for every file.

Can you try with the appveyor build? https://ci.appveyor.com/project/NatronGitHub/openfx-misc/build/artifacts

For some reason, It crashes when I have the cimg bundle installed, and it crashes when I try to use one of the filters from misc. I can't find any way to get a crash report from resolve, it seems to only want to send a report and not let you save it. At least the misc plugins are now showing up.

On macOS I have to launch Resolve and activate OpenFX twice. It crashes the first time, then it worked. I just fixed a bug on Resolve 14 : NatronGitHub/openfx@1ddffff
I will try Resolve 15 on CImg.ofx later

For DenoiseSharpen-only issues, please use #46

CImg plugins works on Resolve 14 / macOS, but Resolve has to be launched three times after installation. Plugins appear on the third launch.

Even Shadertoy works on Resolve

[masterex1000]

It's now launching with cimg installed. But when using shadertoy it says that it can't detect the OpenGL version. Im using the latest build artifiact from ~1hr or 2 ago

[masterex1000]

The exact error that shadertoy is giving is "Can not render: glGetString(GL_VERSION) failed" Is this a resolve 15 specific issue?

I'd like to do the same thing on Windows 10, and I'm having the same problem. I copied the Plugins folder from my Natron install and I just can't find the plugins inside of Resolve of Fusion. I would try the AppVeyor build -- but it has expired and is no longer available. My log file (as a guess) looks like it sees the OFX bundles but doesn't do anything with them.

Here's an excerpt from my Resolve log OFXCache.xml, I believe there should be a bunch more lines inside of each tag:

<bundle> <binary bundle_path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\Misc.ofx.bundle" path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\Misc.ofx.bundle\Contents\win64\Misc.ofx" mtime="1532957788" size="14428672" /> </bundle> <bundle> <binary bundle_path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\Arena.ofx.bundle" path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\Arena.ofx.bundle\Contents\win64\Arena.ofx" mtime="1532957943" size="8728576" /> </bundle> <bundle> <binary bundle_path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\CImg.ofx.bundle" path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\CImg.ofx.bundle\Contents\win64\CImg.ofx" mtime="1532957787" size="2694656" /> </bundle> <bundle> <binary bundle_path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\GMIC.ofx.bundle" path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\GMIC.ofx.bundle\Contents\win64\GMIC.ofx" mtime="1532957943" size="6889472" /> </bundle> <bundle> <binary bundle_path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\IO.ofx.bundle" path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\IO.ofx.bundle\Contents\win64\IO.ofx" mtime="1532957785" size="2314752" /> </bundle> <bundle> <binary bundle_path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\Shadertoy.ofx.bundle" path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\Shadertoy.ofx.bundle\Contents\win64\Shadertoy.ofx" mtime="1532957788" size="601600" /> </bundle>

OK I fixed an issue with resolve, can you try again with the plugins from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/NatronGitHub/openfx-misc/build/artifacts ?
At one point there was a plan to make a list of plugins that would be valuable for Resolve. DenoiseSharpen was the first one and I'm pretty sure you can find DenoiseSharpen binaries floating around on the web.

Hello, I have a similar problem.
I wrote my own plugin that I tested on 5 machines. On two of them it is not displayed in Resolve.
Then I compiled and tested openfx-misc. This doesn't show up either. If I take Frédéric's compilation, which is linked here, it shows up.

What am I doing wrong?
To compile it I use minGW64 and run the Makefile. The compilation process runs error-free.

@Golem235 look at what I fixed recently in openfx-misc and do the same in your plugin

[Golem235]

@masterex1000 I tryed the current master (last commit from 25.7.)
Your fix (NatronGitHub/openfx@1ddffff) is already implemented.

[devernay]

look for the string "checkBadRenderScale" in openfx-misc. That's the fix I'm mentioning.
other fixes:

• 8475347 (for Fusion, why may be running inside resolve now)
• b8c0ab6 and compile with -DNDEBUG. One of these sanity check is probably failing on Resolve. Check which one it is by using printf() and launching resolve from a command-line
