Hi - I have trouble accessing the internet from Windows 7, and I’ve installed Audacity3.7, but the installer for openVINO requires access to the network and is throwing a “security error.” It would help a lot if I could get an offline installer - is such a thing available? (I know it’s probably big - but I would only be installing the recommended features - not all of the huge ones, if that helps…) Thank You!!! Patti
Hi Patti,
You can choose ‘No Models’ during installer to skip the download step.
After installation is complete, you’ll notice that C:\Program Files\Audacity\ folder contains another folder, openvino-models.
You’ll need to manually download the models for the features that you want and drop them into this folder.
You can look at this section of the build documentation to get an idea of where to download some of these models from: openvino-plugins-ai-audacity/doc/build_doc/windows at main · intel/openvino-plugins-ai-audacity · GitHub
For example, for Music Separation, you would put this into your browser:
https://huggingface.co/Intel/demucs-openvino, go to ‘Files and versions’ tab, and download htdemucs_v4.bin / .xml & move them to that openvino-models folder.
And actually, the linux instructions (openvino-plugins-ai-audacity/doc/build_doc/linux at main · intel/openvino-plugins-ai-audacity · GitHub) do a better job explaining what the directory / file structure of the final openvino-models folder.
Hope this helps
I enabled the openvino in preferences, then put the xml and bin files in openvino-models (htdemucs_v4.bin / .xml, after downloading them). When I restart Audacity it says: “Unable to load mod-openvino module. Error: the specified procedure could not be found”
Audacity also resets the Preference for openvino to “Failed”
EDIT: I see the module mod-openvino.dll in the Audacity/modules subdir…
EDIT: Also, I checked in Linux repos (and in edit/preferences…) and found no reference to openVINO for Audacity. Linux would be preferred over Windoz in virtualbox.
EDIT: Installed at home in WIn10 - openVINO is now installed and enabled, but cannot find “openVINO” in the effects drop-down…

This didn’t do this until after you dropped some models (.xml / .bin) into the folder? That is strange…

There isn’t any ‘openVINO for Audacity’ packages in Linux repos, you would need to build from source using the instructions I linked above.

Hmm, is it possible that you have multiple versions of Audacity installed? Double check that the Audacity.exe that you’re running is indeed the one which has mod-openvino.dll in the modules folder.
I think what happened is that I didn’t install all that was needed (under windows at home) - I did a reinstall and that works.
Now I need to tackle linux. Thank you very much for the help and detailed instructions.
Also, apparently openVINO is ez to install under python - so that may be the easiest way to use it with Audacity under Linux - just split mp3 files with a brief python script then load into Audacity? Building in linux can be ez or really tricky for non-wizards.
