ComfyUI Node: Get Batch From History (mtb)

Get Batch From History (mtb):

The Get Batch From History (mtb) node is designed to retrieve a batch of frames from the history of previously processed images. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to access and reuse past image data for further processing or analysis. By fetching historical data, you can maintain consistency across different stages of your project, compare results, or apply additional transformations to previously generated images. The node provides a convenient way to access this data without manually saving and loading images, streamlining your workflow and enhancing productivity.

Get Batch From History (mtb) Input Parameters:

enable

This parameter determines whether the node should actively fetch data from the history. When set to True, the node will attempt to retrieve the specified batch of frames. If set to False, the node will either return a passthrough image if provided or an empty tensor. This parameter is essential for controlling the node's behavior and ensuring it only operates when needed. The default value is True.

count

This parameter specifies the number of frames to retrieve from the history. It directly impacts the amount of data fetched and processed by the node. Setting this value to 0 will disable the fetching process, and the node will return an empty tensor or the passthrough image. The default value is 0.

offset

This parameter defines the starting point in the history from which frames should be fetched. It allows you to skip a certain number of frames and start retrieving data from a specific position. This is useful for accessing different segments of your historical data. The default value is 0.

internal_count

This is an internal parameter used to invalidate the node. It is not intended for direct manipulation by users but plays a role in the node's internal logic to ensure proper functioning and data integrity.

passthrough_image

This optional parameter allows you to provide an image that will be returned if the fetching process is disabled (i.e., enable is False or count is 0). This ensures that the node can still output a meaningful result even when it is not actively fetching data from the history.

Get Batch From History (mtb) Output Parameters:

output

The primary output of this node is a tensor containing the batch of frames retrieved from the history. If the fetching process is disabled or no data is found, the output will be an empty tensor or the provided passthrough image. This output is crucial for further processing and analysis in your workflow, allowing you to leverage historical data effectively.

Get Batch From History (mtb) Usage Tips:

• Ensure the enable parameter is set to True and the count parameter is greater than 0 to actively fetch data from the history.
• Use the offset parameter to access different segments of your historical data, which can be useful for comparing different stages of your project.
• Provide a passthrough_image to ensure the node outputs a meaningful result even when the fetching process is disabled.

Get Batch From History (mtb) Common Errors and Solutions:

"Load from history is disabled for this iteration"

• Explanation: This message indicates that the fetching process is disabled either because the enable parameter is set to False or the count parameter is 0.
• Solution: Ensure that the enable parameter is set to True and the count parameter is greater than 0.

"No output found in history"

• Explanation: This warning suggests that no data was found in the history for the specified parameters.
• Solution: Verify that the history contains data and adjust the offset and count parameters to match the available data range.
