No matter what episode I choose. I have the FFmpeg installed 64GB of ddr3 ram windows 10 64 Python 64 Intel Xeon X5690 3.47ghz plex version 4.76.1 and i have the most recent version of BW_plex installed via git

Can i get a hand here please? thank you up front for your time and help

I haven't been using bw_plex for a very long time after plex added native support for it. Try executing the command using cmd in ffmpeg with ffmpeg -i "F:\Episodes\Family guy\Season 20\Family Guy - S20E17 - All About Alana.mkv" -ac 1 -ar 11025 -ss 0 -t 600 -acodec pcm_s16le

[megarage]

m doing something wrong i get an error message saying

C:\Users\Oracle>ffmpeg -i "F:\Episodes\Family guy\Season 20\Family Guy - S20E17 - All About Alana.mkv" -ac 1 -ar 11025 -ss 0 -t 600 -acodec pcm_s16le 'ffmpeg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

"I haven't been using bw_plex for a very long time after plex added native support for it." yeah, i know plex has it now but you need a plex pass and is a bit pricy for the little features they give.

or if i do C:\Users\Oracle>

C:\Users\Oracle>bw_plex ffmpeg -i "F:\Episodes\Family guy\Season 20\Family Guy - S20E17 - All About Alana.mkv" -ac 1 -ar 11025 -ss 0 -t 600 -acodec pcm_s16le 2022-05-02 14:35:30,407 :: bw_plex :: INFO :: init.py:168 :: Using bw_plex version 0.1.1.dev95+g86768d6 2022-05-02 14:35:30,409 :: bw_plex :: INFO :: init.py:169 :: default folder set to C:\Users\Oracle/.config/bw_plex Usage: bw_plex [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

[Hellowlol]

Well, that means that the FFmpeg is not in the path where cmd can find it. You need to add it to the path https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm

[Hellowlol]

I copypasted the some of the text string, the correct one is ffmpeg -i "F:\Episodes\Family guy\Season 20\Family Guy - S20E17 - All About Alana.mkv" -ac 1 -ar 11025 -ss 0 -t 600 -acodec pcm_s16le

[megarage]

This is what i get now

It is pretty clear what's missing, you need to add the out file as well. F.x something.wav. Anyway, now that FFmpeg is working you could try running bw_plex again.

[megarage]

Now it seems to be doing something in the background, there is no more error like the reported initial one. but still is not skipping the intro or giving me a button to skip into. but I do not see any error either.

[megarage]

It is working now, this is how i fixed it. I needed to download the FFmpeg manually directly to my C: then add it to the path like instructed by the link you sent me. restart the pc and then start with bw_plex watch.

the first time i open a new serie he examines it and adds it to the library and the next time i see the same series it skips the intro
