@kdenlive @kde Can anyone help me use this #SAM2 #ObjectDetection in #kdenlive I got stuck at the first hurdle!
The plugin setting says it's installed, but the Effect Stack still just shows a "Configure" button? This is on macOS... what am I missing?
@kdenlive been looking into this a little more, by running the app from the terminal, I have identified that the #kdenlive #ObjectDetection plugin is not correctly installing on #macos - you can see in my previous screenshot the Models folder is 64 Bytes, which means its empty. When you select a model to download, on the terminal you get error starting:
kf.kio.core: couldn't create worker: "Can not find 'kioworker' executable at '/Applications/kdenlive.app/Contents/MacOS,
1/2
kioworker appears to be a file transfer tool as part of the KDE Framework, so IDK if it would be possible to get this to work on mac...
My next idea is to try "Use system package only" and see if I can install #SAM2 locally and get the model installed outside of Kdenlive...
Figured it out, works great now! I just downloaded the model manually and put it in the folder...
