ffmpeg not found error #58

Closed suhaib-afzal closed 2 years ago

Screenshot (170) This is the error I get, it specifies ffmpeg not found but I've read that ffmpeg doesn't need to be installed? Thank you.

image I have ffmpeg installed as you see here but it still produces the same error

@suhaib421 You are correct, I have pushed a latest update which makes it so that it only prints a warning when ffmpeg does not exist, rather than crashing.

However, in your case, the final result would not mix the audio/video file together.

For your second question, it is out of the scope of this project as it only relates to the typical installation issue with ffmpeg. However, a quick look at your screenshot does not show any ffmpeg installation. Those are just packaged dll files, not the official executable.

You can look up guides on this. For example, this: https://www.easytechguides.com/install-ffmpeg/

Hi Thank you, the guide worked perfectly! It works now.
