Hi, I just installed reapack (I think) but 83 entries gave this error:

This script could not be registered in REAPER

It was in the error tab in the transaction window. Do I need to do anything?

[cfillion]

What are the entries you're trying to install? If they're .py scripts then Python needs to be installed in the system and configured in REAPER's preferences. (Otherwise this could mean you have reached REAPER's action count limit – unlikely.)

I just Options/Install when synchronizing, hit OK (I think) and about 4,000 things installed minus those 83 (I assume). This was my first time installing reapack. But, just now, when I synchronized, I got one new installation (reateam extensions/fx/realim: fixed latency...) and no Errors. I definitely do not have python installed on my system so if any .py files are included in the default reapack then that could explain it. I only have SWS as the other extension package so too many actions, like you say, is probably not the cause. Ordinarily, I take screenshots of these types of things but this time I didn't.

Anyway, thanks for creating this. I feel honored to get direct support like that. Really, all I wanted was the ZenoMod VU meter and the action to delete all time signature markers from the time selection. Thousands of new actions - it's kind of overwhelming (especially as a non-coder).

Why did you install 4000 "things" you supposedly don't know what they might be useful for ?

Hello,

Can anyone hep me please?

Thanks"

Because I'm an idiot, obviously

Actually it's because the guide that I followed seemed to recommend just installing everything since it doesn't slow reaper down. Plus, I was not really wanting to install reapack now because I generally research things pretty thoroughly before jumping in. However, I really wanted the zenomod VU meter so I just went for it. I guess this is what I get! It's easy to uninstall, right?

Here's the quote:
"I recommend you leave them checked and install all of these!"
from: https://www.reapertips.com/post/how-to-install-reapack

Maybe next time I'll stick with reaperblog or kenny.

A variety of network-related issues could do that... (VPN/firewall/DNS/etc)

Can't help troubleshoot the root cause, however disabling "Verify the authenticity of SSL/TLS certificates" in ReaPack > Manage repositories > Options > Network settings should work around the problem.

It doesn't slow Reaper down and the amount of disk space used supposedly is not that huge. Only the count of plugins in the appropriate search procedure is vastly increased.

Right. Plugins and actions. I know I called them "things" and I feel like you might have taken that personally. In my comment, I did mention they're "actions" and I assume most of it is scripts and I saw a few .png files too so, yeah, "things". Peace.

@hexSPA
Not sure if it's en- or disabled by default, but there's an option in ReaPack to not install everything automatically.

[cfillion]

It's disabled by default. Default mode is to let users choose to install only what they want from the package browser.

I accidentally installed all of the packages (somehow I checked all) 2 weeks ago. I chose not to undo this at the time. This may be totally unrelated, but for the first time in years of using Reaper, I got spinning beachballs and Reaper became unresponsive 2-4 times per week. Particularly around manipulating plugins. Last weekend, I uninstalled all except those I had originally. So far this week, no infinite beachballs. This is far from scientific, but it just reinforced the stance of only installing extensions that I need.

Just a wild guess but do you have a HDD (as opposed to SSD)? maybe macOS is indexing these thousands of files while you're using reaper. I turn that off on windows which slows down search but then I don't get that background activity (must save the 0.01% CPU for more instances of Massive )

I recently moved to a new computer, I transferred my settings by exporting/importing them. I still have all the scripts I downloaded via Reascript in my old computer, but now Reascript doesn't seem to associate them with scripts downloaded with it. Is it possible to sort of 'reconnect' them?

[cfillion]

Exporting/importing REAPER settings does not copy over all files including ReaPack's database of installed packages. Best to copy the entire resource directory (Options > Show REAPER resource path in explorer/finder) or use ReaPack's import/export feature (Manage repositories > Import/export) in addition to REAPER's.

[jbradbury]

Is anyone able to help me make my project (https://github.com/ReaCoMa/ReaCoMa-2.0) compatible with ReaPack? I've been working with reapack-index and am generally command-line competent but I just really am hitting a wall getting the package to show up in a sensible fashion after I create the index.

I don't know if it is possible, but I have "user facing" scripts which use a library of other scripts I built under the hood to manage shared bits of code. I can't figure out how to make the bits of the package I want to show up as actions show up in there while also pulling in the underlying code that is require()d in Lua. Any pointers to an example project perhaps?

[cfillion]

The first step is to decide how to split (or not to split) the scripts into separate user-installable packages. (Is ReaCoMa best described as a set of tools/actions updated individually, or "one thing" consisting of multiple actions? Would it make sense to let users choose to install only a subset or have mismatched versions?)
(Generally, ReaPack repositories are meant to hold many packages, not just one big one. Have you considered releasing on ReaTeam?)

Then those user-installable packages need to be moved in a subfolder, which serves as the category name in ReaPack.

To include additional files beyond the package's file itself:

@provides
  [main]   user_action.lua
  [nomain] library_file.lua

If the library files are shared between multiple packages, each one using them must provide a different copy:

-- @description Script A
-- @version 1.0
-- @provides shared_library_file.lua > Script A/library_file.lua

dofile(self_path .. '/Script A/library_file.lua')

Installing 'Script A' will pull the correct version of 'shared_library_file.lua' from the time of its 1.0 release. Independently from the version of the shared library that a 'Script B' v1.4.8 might need.

In addition to the documentation, and even if building your own repository, I'd recommend referring to the GUI ReaTeam uploader (https://reapack.com/upload) as an interactive example of valid metadata.

(Also this is the user thread, the developer thread for questions like this is here: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=169127)

Hey, hello everyone,

I wonder if there is an easy way to upload reascripts for beta testers only.
I guess having a secondary repository would do the trick.

[cfillion]

Add letters to the version number to make a pre-release version. Those are only installed if explicitly selected by the user or if pre-releases are enabled (either globally or per package).

In a scenario where a package has the following versions available (sorted from smallest to biggest number):

• 1.0
• 1.0.1
• 1.1beta1
• 1.1beta2

With pre-releases disabled (by default out of the box): the latest version shown is 1.0.1.

• Synchronizing will update to 1.0.1 if 1.0 is already installed
• Synchronizing will update to 1.1beta2 if 1.1beta1 is already installed (up to the next stable version)
• 1.1beta1 or beta2 needs to be selected explicitly in the 'Versions' menu to be installed

With pre-releases enabled (user changed the setting): there are no distinction between pre- and stable releases. 1.1beta2 is the version shown.

[Infrabass]

Awesome!

I'm having a problem where the reapack package list is blank. Despite it showing that there are many available in the upper right filter area. That and all my installed items are functioning. I just can't browse or see things in this list. Any idea what's wrong or what I can do to fix this? I've already replaced the reapack.dll.

Thanks

[cfillion]

It sounds like the columns are hidden: right-clicking the list's header should show checkboxes to bring them back (or use "Reset columns"). If that's not it, can you post a screenshot of your package browser window?

Running Reaper V6.83 via wine on Ubuntu
With default settings Reapack gives me:
SSL connect error (35): schannel: ApplyControlToken failure: SEC_E_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION (0x80090302)

I tried to edit the Network settings. If I give a proxy address I got "couldn't connect server" back.
(Couldn't connect to server (7): Failed to connect to 192.168.207.46 port 8080 after 2 ms: Couldn't connect to server)

Reaper itself could connect to the internet and gives me the hint that there is a new version after starting the program.

Any idea would I can do?

[dna598]

When i do a fresh install, with an imported configuration, Reapack doesn't know what scripts i have installed, and so I have to manually re-install scripts to get a sync.

Any way to get Reapack to recognize the already installed scripts?

[cfillion]

If you're importing a configuration, make sure to also import ReaPack's data directory (Options > Show REAPER resource path in explorer/finder > ReaPack).

Alternatively: ReaPack > Manage repositories > Import/Export > Export offline archive.

Ah, thank you very much.

[chmaha]

I'm getting the error message "HTTP response code said error (22): The requested URL returned error: 500" when synchronizing repos on ReaPack or when trying to reinstall a version of a package:



Seems to be affecting all repos I have installed.

I wonder whether it is me, my internet connection, ReaPack, Github or some other gremlin? Initial tests suggest my network is fine (git pull in the terminal works for example), regular web browsing is fine (including accessing various files on github) so I'm a bit confuddled.

EDIT: Seems to have resolved itself without me doing anything. Weird.

[cfillion]

It's a GitHub outage in one of their datacenter: https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/pxg3dz4yg7lp.

Hello,

Trying to synchronize reapack for the first time in a few weeks.

I'm getting an error messsage: MS VC++ Runtime Library

Application has requested runtime to terminate in an unusual way

The member currently being processed is Data\Grooves\Logic_8f.rgt

I've tried several times and consistently get this error.

Please advise.

That works,

Sorry I missed this response...better late than never. My MBP has an SSD. As mentioned in this thread, it is best practice to just install what you actually want/need. This also helps with stuff from github and elsewhere where you may be bringing in loads of scripts from a dev that are not usable until you pay for them.

[Stevie326]

I import reapack repos and it defaults to default repos. I can sync, install scripts, close reaper, reopen and sync reapack, then none of the imported repos are included in the sync. Yet what I installed I still there. Any thoughts?

[cfillion]

Do you mean that, after restarting, the previously successfully added repositories are somehow no longer listed in Extensions > ReaPack > Manage repositories?

If so, it has to be some kind of permission issue preventing it from writing to <resource path>/reapack.ini, or some other software keeps restoring that file to an earlier version, etc. Try changing the settings in Manage repositories > Options and see if those survive a restart.

[Tapio]

My Reapack update is full of errors, since yesterday I think. Errors after sync packages. Anyone?

This can be be a variety of things, usually related to VPN apps/mandatory proxy/firewall.

If you can't think of any recent changes on your computer or network: try disabling "Verify the authenticity of SSL/TLS certificates" in ReaPack > Manage repositories > Options > Network settings.
