Hi,

Does this support linux?, I try to run it on AWS EC2, (Centos 7), but I got the following:

I am pretty sure the directory already had 777 and root access

Honest Advice: Use this fork for Linux - https://github.com/mtebenev/MediaToolkit.NetCore

You are able to specify custom path to ffmpeg (have to be installed, ofc).
app.config file should be created in the project root, having content below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="mediaToolkit.ffmpeg.path" value="/usr/bin/ffmpeg"/>
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

you need install ffmpeg on linux

yum install ffmpeg -y

C# code like this :

            var engine = new MediaToolkit.Engine();
            if (!isWindows)
            {
                engine = new MediaToolkit.Engine("/usr/bin/ffmpeg");
            }
