Video/gif output not working.

[LuckyDarms]

Been playing around with it for a couple hours now and I'm not having any luck outputting video or gif files. Every time it returns a 0kb file. Using ffmpeg 5.1.1. I'm happy to provide any other details you need, but I can say that when I run the command there's no apparent errors.

Are you on windows? I am working on a backlog of issues, I will get back to this at some point. If it is windows, you could help a bit by trying to get a version working on local since I think it is a issue specifically with how I am making a temp file in linux vs windows.

[LuckyDarms]

Actually, I was working with a local version (Yes, on windows). Using the standard pip installation method I was having problems even getting started, until I just downloaded the master file as a zip and ran it from there. I'm gonna be stuck at work all day but if there's a specific log file you need just let me know.

Updating FFmpeg to version 5.1.2 works for me. On Ubuntu 20.04 you have to add a PPA to make this work, see https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/02/install-ffmpeg-5-0-ubuntu/

[nadermx]

I'll have to put in a validation to check ffmpeg version, since it only works with 4.4+ and the apt package currently installs 4.2
