[REQUEST] SCrawler does not check system environment variables for ffmpeg

[reichbc]

Describe the bug When starting the program, it tells me "ffmpeg.exe is missing" despite the program being installed on my machine and being in the PATH variable systemwide.

Expected behavior Program should check local folder first for the existence of ffmpeg.exe, and then it should check user and system environment variables to see if it exists elsewhere on the system.

It's not a bug. Indeed, SCrawler doesn't check system variables. ffmpeg must be placed in the SCrawler path.

Program should check local folder first for the existence of ffmpeg.exe, and then it should check user and system environment variables to see if it exists elsewhere on the system.

Actually, no. You can use another developer's version of ffmpeg. ffmpeg might be a different version too. Versions may differ in commands and functions.

This will not be implemented. Sorry.

chock this up to being the first program i've ever seen that won't allow the end user the choice of what installation of a dependency to use. If you're not going to offer the choice to to the users due to versioning and command differences, then bundle the version of ffmpeg you want with the program.

Excuse me, which choice do you want? At the end of the description of each release I have posted, I give links where you can download the version of ffmpeg that I used. I don't understand what the problem is. Btw, SCrawler works even without ffmpeg. ffmpeg is only needed to download videos hosted on Reddit and create images for video in the feed.

I forgot, ffmpeg is also needed to download videos from xvideos.
