Failed to create FFmpeg pipe writer->WriteFrame failed. The FramePool will close.

FFmpeg doesnt seem to record the frames and it gives me an "audio" file of only one frame with no output

Please attach your config file and I will look into this

I'm sorry, I meant for you to attach Sparkly FX's config file.

You can find this next to xsd-base64.dll file, insparklyfx/config.json

[cademtz]

In the meantime, try a different directory. It is possible that your game does not have permission to write frames to E:\Sparkly

EDIT: Nevermind. This does not apply to you because FFmpeg would have printed the following:

Failed to create folder (Access is denied.): 'C:\'

A new update was released. It will reveal more detailed information in the error log.

You can test the update and see what the new errors look like.

It still seems to give me the same error when I press play on sparklyfx, I updated to the latest build but it doesnt seem to give me more info on the error log. Config: config.json

I have hlae launcher with the newest patch

I'm having the same issue, heres my config

If anybody else runs into this issue, just specify qoi as sparklyfx's video encoder, then use -framerate yourfps -pattern_type sequence -i frame_%d.qoi in the output folder of sparklyfx with ffmpeg, along with any other encoding settings

[cademtz]

@Uryyb4 @esogcs I have found the likely issue. SparklyFX only uses the default FFmpeg path, and not the one you manually specified. For esogcs and another users, no default FFmpeg path existed.

This behavior is obviously incorrect and will be fixed shortly.

[cademtz]

Should be fixed in commit f1965c9da47ea2e171d897ff075917f4c7f1a409. Please download the latest release and confirm this for me, when you have time.

works now, thank you
