ffmpeg location input

Closed this issue · 4 comments

As many may not include ffmpeg in build path
or put concat in the same folder as ffmpeg executable,
i suggest provide location input.
E.g. -ffmepg "D;/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe"

Also the error message when ffmpeg is not available could be clearer.

Currently: Could not find ffmpeg, make sure to have ffmpeg avaliable on your system.
Suggestion: Could not find ffmpeg, place it in the same location as the concat executable or specify location with the -ffmpeg option.

Also update the readme.md to make that clear, saves attempts at install on Windows if it is as simple as extracting ffmpeg.exe to the right folder.

Does this still apply? Im pretty sure concat now searches for PATH executable

Yes, concat should search for PATH executables. At least thats what I am experiencing on linux.

I'm on windows and cannot reproduce this error, concat is searching for PATH ffmpeg not if it's in the same folder
