When launching comfyui portable on windows 11 with everything up to date:

ComfyUI web interface:
"When loading the graph, the following node types were not found:
VHS_VideoCombine
Nodes that have failed to load will show as red on the graph."

Command window:

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling from the comfyUI manager...
Manually deleted the 'ComfyUI-VideoHelperSuite' folder and reinstalled...

I've got the same problem. I have a fresh version of comfy installed with only the reactor and VHS plugins. I believe the problem is the version of opencv installed with reactor. See here for some details and a possible solution.
Gourieff/comfyui-reactor-node#112

Haven't tried this solution yet so not sure if it works.

[icequake1969]

Same problem here. If you disable the Reactor node or this node, then it runs without error. Enable both and you get the error. Fresh Windows and Linux versions of Comfy also give the same exact error.

[icequake1969]

Thanks Maestroh, that was the fix.

1. Close ComfyUI if it runs
2. Go to the ComfyUI root folder, open CMD there and run:
   • python_embeded\python.exe -m pip uninstall -y opencv-python opencv-contrib-python opencv-python-headless
   • python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install opencv-python==4.7.0.72

Here's the solution

1. Go to the ComfyUI main folder
2. open the requirements.txt file and add
   • opencv-python
   • imageio-ffmpeg
3. Save requirements.txt
4. Click on update_comfyui_and_python_dependencies.bat

it worked for me

Thanks, this worked for me as well!

I am having the same issue in my runpod. I tried what @icequake1969 wrote

pip uninstall -y opencv-python opencv-contrib-python opencv-python-headless
pip install opencv-python==4.7.0.72

but it hasn't worked so far

[flov]

I stand corrected, the changes worked, together with an installation of ffmpeg with apt-get install ffmpeg worked for me

You can find it inside the update directory

Why did my modification of requirements.txt not take effect?

1. Go to the ComfyUI main folder

2. open the requirements.txt file and add

   • opencv-python
   • imageio-ffmpeg

3. Save requirements.txt

4. Click on update_comfyui_and_python_dependencies.bat

Didn't worked at first because when it updates it rewrittes the requirements.txt , solution:

• First exec the update_comfyui_and_python_dependencies.bat
• Wait until it ask you to press a key to continue with the deps
• Edit now the requirements.txt adding opencv-python and imageio-ffmpeg and save
• Go back and press any key to continue.

[Bombyring]

Go to the main Config UI folder
open it requirements.txt file and add
-opencv-python
-imageio-ffmpeg
Save requirements.txt
Click on update_comfyui_and_python_dependencies.Did the ba
method work? thanks

[roecks]

It worked for me. Even though I also uninstalled a ReActor custom node. Not sure whether that, or the additions to requirements.txt and updating ComfyUI worked.
