Your paths to ffmpeg and ffprobe are pointing to a directory. They need to point to the individual executable files for each program respectively

Fixed that, now I'm getting this error:

I've also noticed this line gets added to the console when the process fails:

12/5/14 1:13:32.712 PM taskgated[77]: no signature for pid=3260 (cannot make code: UNIX[No such process])

I'm not a python coder, but I'm an ex c# .net programmer. It looks like it's something to do with the last line of this code returning null, I'm guessing. It's definitely not an object type.

mkvtomp4.py - 180

 # Generate a list of options to be passed to FFMPEG based on selected settings and the source file parameters and streams
    def generateOptions(self, inputfile, original=None):    
        #Get path information from the input file
        input_dir, filename, input_extension = self.parseFile(inputfile)

        **info = Converter(self.FFMPEG_PATH, self.FFPROBE_PATH).probe(inputfile)**

pprint (vars(info)) gives an error about the object needing a dict so that's as educated a guess as I can make.

I'm still trying to track it down but I have a feeling it's something to do with my ffmpeg or the probe one..

I am also having the exact same error . Any luck?

I narrowed it down to the fact that I didn’t have FFMPEG or probe installed correctly.

When I tried to just execute ./ffprobe -L before it gave me a “Killed: 9"

I followed the instructions here to install FFMPEG: http://www.renevolution.com/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-mac-os-x/ http://www.renevolution.com/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-mac-os-x/ and that fixed it for me. I used the --with-tools option for ffmpeg.

There should be some error checking around FFMPEG executions I feel.. there are too many assumptions in there. Maybe it’s time for me to learn some python. :-)

Anyways, this is resolved.

TLDR: Make sure ffmpeg and ffprobe run from the terminal and at least tell you they’re ok. If not, you probably should install them properly. :-p

Can someone mark the last answer as the solution? :-)

ffprobe works fine on my system but I still have the same error. I am not sure about the compilation options that I used for ffmpeg. Here are the options that I used.

CFLAGS="-march=armv5te -Wall -O2 -fstrength-reduce -finline-functions -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer" ./configure --prefix=/opt --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-bzlib --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --disable-asm --disable-debug
