Hey there @BadySmith, that is a generic error message thrown when the try catch fails in the getMediaTypes function. https://github.com/wetfish/sync/blob/5e619b3d323dc8665af6e00818ba5557a1b63e55/media-player.js#L45-L51

It's possible that you are getting this error because you don't have ffmpeg and ffprobe installed. The readme needs to be updated to include these programs as dependencies! :thinking:

The readme has been updated with more detailed usage instructions.
