cFileConfigReader : cant find input file

[krishna51119]

I am trying to use opensmile 3.0 in python in windows 10. Downloaded from official website. Extract the folder. In cmd change working directory to opensmile\bin\SMILExtract -h then it says installation is done as I can see the version and other details.

Finally for feature extraction

C:\Users\HP\Desktop\opensmile\bin>SMILExtract -C config\mfcc\MFCC12_0_D_A.conf -I Desktop\s.wav -O K.csv (MSG) [2] SMILExtract: openSMILE starting! (MSG) [2] SMILExtract: config file is: config\mfcc\MFCC12_0_D_A.conf (MSG) [2] cComponentManager: successfully registered 103 component types. (ERR) [1] configManager: cFileConfigReader::openInput : cannot find input file 'config\mfcc\MFCC12_0_D_A.conf'!

Please guide

I tried it in python code too, as given

exe_opensmile = "C:/Users/HP/Desktop/opensmile/bin/SMILExtract" path_config = "C:/Users/HP/Desktop/opensmile/config/mfcc/MFCC12_0_D_A.conf" outfilename = './IEMOCAP.csv' opensmile_call = exe_opensmile + " -C " + path_config + " -I " + infilename + " -O " + outfilename

Fortunately its creating csv file in same folder named IEMOCAP but its not readable. Few initial lines are

Tried all encoding for csv reader but nothing is working. Strange but no online resources or forum I can find for my answers. :(

In your first example, the path to the config file is wrong, you are missing a ..\. Also the relative path to your input wave file seems wrong, you'll probably want to use absolute paths:

SMILExtract -C ..\config\mfcc\MFCC12_0_D_A.conf -I C:/Users/HP/Desktop/s.wav -O K.csv

The problem with the CSV contents is because you are using the -O option which outputs in HTK format. You will want to use -csvoutput:

SMILExtract -C ..\config\mfcc\MFCC12_0_D_A.conf -I C:/Users/HP/Desktop/s.wav -csvoutput K.csv

@chausner-audeering Thank you so much for reply sir, Where is the output file created if executed correctly, like what will be the location of K.csv. (In case of command window feature extraction)

And sir in python code, are you saying I should write

outfilename = 'IEMOCAP.csv' opensmile_call = exe_opensmile + " -C " + path_config + " -I " + infilename + " -csvoutput" + outfilename

Coz now its not even creating this file named IEMOCAP.csv

Many Thanks :)

Missing space in " -csvoutput"

[krishna51119]

Sir are these all config file extract the features in a similar formats? I am getting the first column as "unknown" here for most of the config files while extracting mfcc.(opensmile 3.0 windows) and few are not working for csv though I am getting htk again (even I mentioned '- csvoutput') does that mean these features are not extracted in csv format sir?

Not all config files support all output formats. Most support CSV output using -csvoutput but some are hard-coded to create HTK output only, for example.

The column with "unknown" is normal, you can ignore it.
