PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

[RonvdZande]

Dear juanmcasillas,

installed python and gopro2gpx to extract GPS data from my MP4 files. With some trouble I activated python and your program. But when I try to extract data from a MP4 files I am stuck with "PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied " error. It seems the call to FFMPEG is not going well. I am not familiar with Python or FFMPEG. Searched the internet on the error, found a number of hits but did not find a solution. Maybe you have an idea what might be wrong.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello,

First of all, try to put the binary in the PATH. If not, edit the code and add the full path to the executable.

Hope it works,

Thanks, FFMPEG and FFPROBE can be found independed from the directory where I am starting like PYTHON. But I will look further.

[juanmcasillas]

They are in the path? (E.g. you can run them from command line?)

Ffmpeg runs ok from the command line. Used your example to get a bin file from a mp4 file and this works ok. Something to do with the interfacing between Python an the Ffmpeg module I think.

I have the same issue with spotdl. When I run this command in admin commandline, it crashes: python -m spotdl https://open.spotify.com/track/254bXAqt3zP6P50BdQvEsq?si=e9a5afba89b347cc --format "mp3" --bitrate "128k" --ffmpeg c:/ffmpeg/bin When I remove the "-ffmpeg" argument (and let spotdl install ffmpeg locally before that) The error PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied is gone.

Hello, have you tried to run the script as administrator ? looks like the permission for ffmpeg are not setting right

I copied ffmpeg to windows folder and it worked. I don't know why.
