Permission Issue After Windows Update #1677

Closed Dead-Rekon closed 1 year ago

Dead-Rekon commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug It's been a while since I've done any converting, but after the most recent Windows 10 update it seems I have a permission issue going on. Where the manual converter worked fine, it now closes right after starting

Command or context you are trying to run Default manual.py

autoProcess.ini settings autoProcess.ini.txt

Log files sma.log

FFMpeg headers Headers

System Information

Expected behavior Simply convert the MP4 files to MKV as normal with the specified settings.

Additional context Nothing has changed other than a recent windows update that I'm aware of. I wanted to check to see if it was something simple before starting from scratch again.

Yeah python is throwing a permission error when trying to open FFMPEG, access is denied. Can't help you much more than that, you'll need to adjust your FFMPEG permissions (maybe move it out of the root of your C:\ drive which can sometimes require elevated privileges?)

Ok. Looks like I'll have to start from scratch and see if I can figure it out. Thanks for the help.

I mean you don't really need to start from scratch at all, just check your FFMPEG permissions or try relocating your FFMPEG binaries to a less restricted location, but that's basically what your error means, python is unable to call the FFMPEG executable due to your current permissions

I've tried all of that to no avail unfortunately. Trying several locations all with new environment variables still results in only being able to run FFMPEG directly. I at least know where to look now though if a complete reinstall doesn't work.

The command specifically that's failing is ffmpeg -hide_banner -pix_fmts

Might be worth trying that manually just to see if there's some weird problem with that command not working for some reason
