Closed edge-evolution closed 1 week ago

edge-evolution commented 3 weeks ago

Getting the error:

Cannot locate FFmpeg; please modify config.json with the correct path. Press any key to exit.

Whenever I open it. I have made sure that the path is correct.

Please advise.

Check out the video tutorial on the author's home page where he shows everything (1 minute 5 seconds). You need to download the program ffmpeg.exe And then set the location for this exe in config.json

Thanks for the comment, but I’ve been using this program since version 1.7.15 and I’ve never had a problem with finding it until now. Unless it has to be in the same folder as the of-dl.exe. I was last using 1.7.63 and unless it’s changed since then. But the path was in c:/ffmpeg.exe, unless that doesn’t work anymore.

Post the relevant bit f4om config.json?

It all depends on where you have placed the ffmpeg.exe file (You must download it). I have shown in the picture that in my case it is where the program OF-DL is but this location can be different if you have the program on the C drive then the path should be correct.

In other words, it all depends on where you extract the ffmpeg.exe file then you have to specify his the location in the config.json file.

It couldn't be any easier to show :) obraz

This is the same path I've had since I started using this app a long time ago. This is the first time I'm having this issue. Below is how I have it set up in the config.json path

I guess there is a permissions based issue when keeping it in the root C: drive. When I put it in my downloads or documents folder it works. I just don't like having it there, but whatever.

That's why I put it in the OFDL folder and have no problem with it :)

In config.json, it's FFmpegPath, not FFMPEG_PATH. The latter is only valid in auth.json.
