Hello @wuduhren,

I have no Mac but the error message indicates the missing image processing module PIL. You can install for example Pillow (https://python-pillow.org/) with

pip install Pillow

Let me know if this resolves the error.

Additionally you need to change the paths to the ffmpeg, ffprobe and aubio executables.

FYI I've been playing with this tool on macOS; here's what I did to get it going:

Ensure I have ffmpeg and aubio installed (brew install ffmpeg aubio)
Installed Pillow (python3.7 pip install pillow)
- I'm using Python 3.7, which I think ended up on my system via Homebrew, as macOS ships Python 2.7 by default)
Ran main.py via python3.7 rather than python
Updated config.json so the ffmpeg, ffprobe, and aubio settings didn't have the .exe extension

Updated line 700 of slideshow/SlideManager.py:

-            subprocess.call(" ".join(cmd))
+            subprocess.call(" ".join(cmd), shell=True)

Thank you very much @creature. I will include the prerequisites for running the tool on Windows/MacOS to the README
