FFMpeg cannot be found in the root directory! #50

Closed Fritzh1 closed 1 year ago

Fritzh1 commented 1 year ago

Hello, I just installed FFMpegSharp but having a difficulty setting up the envirnoment. Whenever i try to use the FFMpeg class, it shows an exception, "FFMpeg cannot be found in the root directory!". I have copied FFMpeg.exe from the project's FFMpeg x64/x86 folders/and also tried latest executable from the official site on to c:\ffmpeg\bin and set . I added the path to the Windows Environment variable, user variable, path. I also tried using the project's FFMpeg x64/x86 folders in the config variable but all didn't work. I am not sure what is wrong with my setting. I looked for the answer in the web but nothing worked so far. Could someone help me, please? I am using Windows 11. Thank you.

You can't use a Windows binary file in a linux container, they are not cross compatible

Hello mdhiggins, Thank you for the comment. I am purely using Windows envirnment and I think I downloaded Windows executables.

But the containers are linux based, so if you're going to override the included FFMPEG binaries that come with the container you'll need to provide linux binaries not windows ones

Fritzh1 commented 1 year ago

I installed FFMpeg Nuget package that is Windows based.

I feel like we're going in circles here. radarr-sma and any of the linuxserver based docker containers (also sonarr-sma) are not going to work with any windows FFMPEG binaries.

Is there a reason the included binaries don't work for you? The containers don't need an outside source of FFMPEG
