comfy_mtb: [bug] Several Nodes will not install

Your last comment was really misunderstandable. Not only by me but be the OP too.

I was forming a general opinion what I experience lately online. I had a guy asking for help on discord, I helped him in video editing, then next day he came for more, asking to do it form him. etc. Then was totally angry when I told him he should educate on the matter and try it on his own.

If you are the exception then I apologise. You have to admit that your comment was weird. Maybe a smiley next time helps.

Loving that my app broke is interesting approach too. Hope you will work out with mtb nodes and can progress with your work. #Mel keep up the good work! Have a nice day guys!

Your level expertise can make it difficult for you to understand that regular users like myself don’t have any idea what a python embedded environment is, or how that is affecting the install process. Many don’t even understand how to use the command prompt, and have never heard of window shell. Not understanding your advice is not ignoring your advice. My experience with other custom nodes is that I click install on the manager and then when I restart CompyUI it works. I think that many others are of that mindset. Bottom line, my frustration is not and should not be seen as a reflection on you .

GraphiTom, this is none of your fucking business! You jumped on to my issue and though welcomed, did nothing to help. I will not be judged by you as you have no understanding of me, my position, nor my background. I don’t have the attitude of entitlement, but I do need for these nodes to work in order to do my work. It is immaterial as to the cost of the software, as I and my colleagues routinely compensate developers through Patreon, or “buy me a coffee.” My best advice to you is to mind your own business. BTW I love that Karma stepped in and broke you app!

Thanks for abandoning us!

I will now be slashing my veins, so feel free to read my obituary. . . in spite of vowing that I wasn’t going to mess with this any more, I did a new install from a git clone using the parameters that you discussed, and I also installed the models again using the parameters that you discussed. The install log said that all dependencies were successfully installed, and all the modals said that they correctly installed.

when I started ComfyUI the log showed the exact crap that I’ve been looking at for days now.

When I opened the GUI ComfyUI was completely broken. The only way to make it work is to remove you folder. This has become a complete nightmare, now I cannot only not us the nodes in question, but I can’t use any of your nodes.

This has basically fucked my world, as I’m working on a workflow that uses a bunch of your other nodes and they don’t work either. Frankly, I should have just been happy and not tried to swap faces. So lifes a bitch!

@melMass btw, great work!

(For others finding this as a related issue.)

Mine also failed to install fully through the ComfyUI Manager:

[comfy_mtb] | INFO -> Some nodes failed to load:
        Failed to import module faceenhance because ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'basicsr'
        Failed to import module faceswap because ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'insightface'
        Failed to import module fun because ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'qrcode'
        Failed to import module image_interpolation because ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow'

Check that you properly installed the dependencies.

But installing from cli cleared it up:

./python_embeded/python.exe ComfyUI/custom_nodes/comfy_mtb/install.py -w

---

Update 1:

Spoke to soon - that seems to have broke my comfyui:

AssertionError: Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled

---

Update 2:

Ok, had to reinstall torch (which meant I had to figure out how to run pip in the embedded python). This worked:

(pip commands are from comfyui readme manual install section, but modified to run in the embedded python)

./python_embeded/python.exe -m pip uninstall torch

./python_embeded/python.exe -m pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118 xformers

Now, ComfyUI is working and I can run the FILM workflow

Note: The FILM model didn’t auto install, so resolving that (according to mtb readme):

./python_embeded/python.exe ComfyUI/custom_nodes/comfy_mtb/scripts/download_models.py -y

Also one node still didn’t install:

[comfy_mtb] | INFO -> Some nodes failed to load:
        Failed to import module faceswap because ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'insightface'

but closer.

Hi,

Thanks again for the report and the kind words, If you can check and provide the log of the install it should help a lot, I tried to give meaningful feedback to what the issues might be.

That being said, the install script also has a “CLI” mode with arguments:

/path/to/comfy_embedded/python.exe ComfyUI/custom_nodes/comfy_mtb/install.py --help

usage: install.py [-h] [--path PATH] [--wheels] [--requirements] [--dry]

Comfy_mtb install script

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --path PATH, -p PATH  Path to clone the repository to (i.e the absolute path to ComfyUI/custom_nodes)
  --wheels, -w          Install wheel dependencies
  --requirements, -r    Install requirements.txt
  --dry                 Print what will happen without doing it (still making requests to the GH Api)

If this doesn’t sound too complex you can try the following:

/path/to/comfy_embedded/python.exe ComfyUI/custom_nodes/comfy_mtb/install.py -w
