Invalid exit status: 1 when given a custom output directory #23

Closed ENTPRESTIGIOUS closed 3 years ago

ENTPRESTIGIOUS commented 3 years ago

Hello! I'm here to report that it gives an invalid exit status when i typed my custom output directory. All I typed was c:\Users\myself\Videos\VSCode Recordings. Unfortunately, that doesn't work! What can i do?

I have a feeling the JSON config requires \ to be \\ for all slashes in your drive.

Try c:\\Users\\myself\\Videos\\VSCode Recordings instead

ENTPRESTIGIOUS commented 3 years ago

I think I've already tried that but i'm gonna try it again later. I will let you know.

And the space may also need a slash. I'd actually recommend removing the space from the folder name, and using a dash or an underscore as a test. Spaces tend to make things weird when using command line tools (which the extension does via ffmpeg).

So, I should have a fix for this coming out today @ENTPRESTIGIOUS . Not sure if you were able to work around the issue, but I'm now handling spaces in files more gracefully.

Sorry for not replying. Been busy back then. Apparently, I'm now getting an unavoidable Invalid exit status: 1 which means that even if i reset the setting to default, it also gives me an error!
