Description

We are shipping our python environment with our software, therefore the code will be located in the Program Files folder, which are not writable without admin rights. I believe this is the reason of the mentioned exception that is thrown during the mdf.resample() call. The same mf4 file works when the code/python is in a folder where I have full write access. The mf4 file needs to have an attachment (in this case a video file). The mf4 file and the video.avi file are stored and used from the same folder, the attachment is not embedded. The folder for the data is writable by any user.

I also tried with specifying a "temporary_folder", but it didn't change anything. I'm a bit out of ideas. I also don't quite understand why the resample needs write access to the attached video file?

Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if it's not reproducible and/or some details about the whole issue are missing. Thanks a lot.
