So idk what i did wrong, i followed the tutorial on the this github and downloaded everything, until i came to the auth.json file where file path was missing, so i added it like it was stated in the video and it still didn't work. Cafgpture Cdfdfapture

The easiest solution is just to put it in the same directory as OF-DL.exe and you don't have to worry about it. Outside of that, the path looks very strange, user profiles are not usually stored inside a Program Files directory. I suspect the path is not correct as it stands.

the path is correct, i made it scuffed on purposes. I don't quite understand what you meant with putting it in the same directory as OF-DL.exe.

OF-DL will attempt to auto-detect the FFmpeg path, so if you put ffmpeg.exe in the same directory as OF-DL.exe the config value is optional. Be sure to omit it from the config if you do so though. Any value in the config will override the auto-detection.

If you are going to manually configure the FFmpeg path location, add that value to config.json instead of auth.json. The FFmpeg config was officially moved to config.json. auth.json is still supported to avoid breaking people's configs, but the capitalization is important. FFmpegPath if defined in config.json and FFMPEG_PATH if defined in auth.json
