I am not sure if homebrew includes the libav* libraries and header files. If it does then the env variables should be updated in config.toml to reflect the correct paths. There is also an issue stopping ffmpeg 7.0 from working, but I just pushed a fix for that so 6.x and 7.x should work just fine.

Can you either update the env variables (https://github.com/CCExtractor/rusty_ffmpeg has a guide for that) or try to compile ffmpeg 7.0 from scratch as done here?

Actually we require an extra header not exported by default in the built in filters, so the compile option is the only way this will work. Or you could use the docker image. I’ll see if I can fix that tomorrow

I just pushed v0.5.0. This version no longer requires custom ffmpeg builds and should just pick up on system-installed ffmpeg on linux and macOS. At most you may have to point it at the right path (https://github.com/CCExtractor/rusty_ffmpeg has details). If you run into any issues with this version let me know!

the latest vidformer execute cargo build error that, What additional parameters do I need to set? I will try to set following env, but it doesn't work.

Hmm maybe don't set any environment variables and make sure you delete or remove the [env] section in .cargo/config.toml. I think that's what rusty_ffmpeg recommends on macOS. Then it's just a matter of making sure opencv builds.
