'Output file path does not exist' error #126

Closed Yep101 closed 4 years ago

Yep101 commented 4 years ago

Hello, I'm new to FFmpeg-Normalize and I gave it a try today.

What I wanted to do with the program is to normalize the mp3 files I have.

And tried to do it, following 'Description'.

ffmpeg-normalize chapter1.mp3 -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 320k -o chapter1_normalized.mp3

But every time I tried it, I ran into a message asking for output file path. So I filled it in with the command, '--output-folder', according to the Help menu.

So I tried to type in like this,

** ffmpeg-normalize chapter1.mp3 -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 320k --output-folder /Users/Name/Audiobook/Destination -o chapter1_normalized.mp3

and then 'Output file path does not exist' message appeared, and it failed, and I wrote this one again with a tweak

ffmpeg-normalize chapter1.mp3 -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 320k -of /Users/Name/Audiobook/Destination -o chapter1_normalized.mp3 **

The same message showed up again and it didn't work again.

And then I searched for the solution to this issue online and in the FFmpeg-Normalize board. But I couldn't find the solution. And I'm not sure why this problem occurs although the directory (the output file path) really exists. When I read the manual, I thought that once I just wrote the input and output command, a folder called normalized would be automatically made up, and I'd get the normalized files. And I guess it is still true for other users.

I'd like to appreciate any suggestion on this issue.

Thanks.

OS - Mac FFMPEG Ver. - 4.2.2 FFMPEG-Normalize Ver. - 1.18.2

I see what the problem is. This was introduced by a recent bugfix. Will provide a fix shortly.

Please update to v1.19.0 and test again! Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply, slhck. I've now updated the app and tested it as you advised. It perfectly works! Many Thanks. :D 👍

ps. I have something to ask you. During the task, I always see the message, "Output folder normalized is ignored for input file --.mp3", and the program finally save normalized audio files in the same directory having original audio files. What does this message mean? I'm just curious about it. Thanks.
