Sorry for the delay, I've been very busy lately. I have never encountered such a problem so far. Seems like a problem in the wxPython library.

Could you give me some information please?

What operating system are you using?
Python version?
WxPython version?

Hey,

I'm running Windows 11 25131.100 But I have ran on an older Windows 11 on my Laptop and the same is there.

Python 3.10.5 WxPython dont have and cant install it either.

Managed to install WxPython 4.1.1 and reverted to Python 3.9.13 but having same error

For now I am using the Portable Version as that one is working.

Videomass should start with Python 3.9.13 and wxPython 4.1.1 Instead with python 3.10 there are some incompatibilities with wxPython that I believe are about to be resolved by the developers. Hope they release the new version soon.

For now I am using the Portable Version as that one is working.

For information, the portable version was built with Python 3.7.9 and wxPython 4.0.7

Anyway I'll try to investigate, the problem is that I can only use Windows 10 for testing and not Windows 11.

Hello @bitsky6

Here some news: Platform: Windows 64bit v10.0.19045 Python: 3.10.9 (tags/v3.10.9:1dd9be6, Dec 6 2022, 20:01:21) [MSC v.1934 64 bit (AMD64)] wxPython: 4.2.0 msw (phoenix) wxWidgets 3.2.0

I tried running Videomass from source code (latest release v4.0.5).
I tried to pip install videomass v4.0.5.

On both attempts I had no problems and Videomass started up as expected. On Windows 11 it should also work. I remind you that wxPython v4.1.1 is not compatible with Python 3.10, and wxPython v4.2.0 works correctly with Python 3.10 but you should pip install attrdict3 first.

However, this doesn't seem to be a directly related problem with Videomass, but it is related to incorrect installation of third party packages.
