File not found. #454

Open UweR70 opened 3 years ago

UweR70 commented 3 years ago

I am really angry. Why? I took me one and a half day to figure out why I get the "File not found" error. A simple, short explanatory text in your "ReadMe.md" would have saved me that. And certainly not just me. As an aside, this would make this repository a lot more professional.

So please add something like this to your "Readme.md" (as meant for TWO YEARS see https://github.com/kkroening/ffmpeg-python/issues/153)

Note that ffmepg-Python wrapes the orignal ffmpeg. Please make sure that the original ffmpeg is installed and (in Windows) the system %Path% variable is set to the "...\ffmpeg\bin" directory.

Then you can install ffmepg-python via pip install ffmpeg-python

10% agree. I thought this lib does not require ffmpeg.exe to be installed until I see your issue.

This took me so long to figure it out, and only thanks to this post.

I also met the problem. Thank you @UweR70 for your post.
