Using Whisper.net.Runtime

[terezatodova]

Hello, I have an issue when trying to include the Whisper.net.Runtime.

My .csproj file looks like this

and the dotnet restore operation seems to run without issues. However the "using Whisper.net.Runtime" always throws an error

Using Whisper, Whisper.net,... shows no error

I've also tried different versions of Whisper.net as well as Whisper.net.runtime, but nothing seems to work.

Thank you for your help

Hello @terezatodova , You don't need to add using Whisper.net.Runtime. That package doesn't have any published namespaces, but will just copy the native library in runtimes directory when you build your app.

Thank you very much for the quick response. I've tried copying the whisper.dll from git (Whisper.net.runtime/win-x64) to my Runtime folder. Seems like there is an error when calling using var whisperFactory = WhisperFactory.FromPath("ggml-base.bin");

void Whisper.net.Native.NativeMethods.whisper_log_set(nint, nint): System.EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named 'whisper_log_set' in DLL 'whisper'.

Not sure if I'm missing something / doing something incorrectly in setting up the .dll or if there is another issue. I'm using the example code to download the ggml-base.bin file, which seems to be downloaded correctly.

You don't need to copy the dll manually, just install both Whisper.net 1.5.0 and Whisper.net.Runtime 1.5.0 (which will copy the correct dll to your runtimes).

That error that you got was most likely because the dll that you copied was not compatible with the Whisper.net version that you were using (1.5.0), while the DLL was older.

Do you have by any chance another whisper.dll in your output directory? Maybe your project is named whisper?
