CLI Video Processing crashes when using real-cugan model on MacOS

[mmkzer0]

I have setup waifu2x for CLI usage on my M1 MacBook Pro. When I try to process a mp4 video with the command

alias waifu2x=/Applications/waifu2x.app/Contents/MacOS/waifu2x
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -pix_fmt rgba -f rawvideo -loglevel quiet - |
waifu2x -m real_cugan --cugan-scale 2 --cugan-variant conservative --raw --width 1920 --height 1080 |
ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgba -s:v 3840x2160 -r 23.98 -i - -c:v h264_videotoolbox output.mp4

using real-cugan as the model, then waifu2x will crash with the following output:

and the System will report that waifu2x quit unexpectedly. Other models work however. If I try to process the same video using your exemplary command

alias waifu2x=/Applications/waifu2x.app/Contents/MacOS/waifu2x
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -pix_fmt rgba -f rawvideo -loglevel quiet - |
waifu2x -m real_esrgan -v anime_2x_video --raw --width 1920 --height 1080 |
ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgba -s:v 3840x2160 -r 23.98 -i - -c:v h264_videotoolbox output.mp4

then waifu2x and ffmpeg will process the video without issue using real-esrgan.

This is definitely a bug. The next update will fix it.

The App Store review is surprisingly fast this time. Please update to the latest version (6.2.3) and it should be fixed.

It is indeed fixed! real-cugan works without issues now. Thank you very much for the quick reply.
