Having a problem with running the Happy Otter Scripts Metrics for Vmaf, basically it does not seem to be generating the VmafLog.txt file which it's looking for. This makes the program fail with a can't find the Vmaf log file.

I installed the program (free download) to a folder on my D: drive. Changed all the defult locations to point to this folder. I downloaded the latest full version of FFMpeg and placed all the files in the same folder, I also added an environment link to that folder via the system environment variables. Still the program fails as it cannot find the log file. It is working for the other metrics and creates log files for these.

Any idea? Many thanks.

OK, tried the latest Beta version of FFMetrics, easy to install and works great, you can add multiple rendered files to compare with the original. The interface is nice and easy to use so this is what I will be using. Not herd back yet from HOS.
