WinError 2 when trying to run about xvideos-dl HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello @dougyp, thank you for your interest in our work!

If this is a bug report, please provide screenshots and minimum viable code to reproduce your issue, otherwise we can not help you.

The cause of the error is that the ffmpeg command was not found. Refer to the following steps to install it and set environment variables:

1. Download a built windows package from https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows, an available: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-essentials.7z
2. Unzip it to anywhere. For example: G:\Downloads\Develop\ffmpeg-2021-12-02-git-4a6aece703-essentials_build
3. Run following two command on CMD or GItBash to add ffmpeg bin folder to environment variables. The set command only sets the environment variable for the current session. The setx command sets it permanently. Or you can set on Settings Window, refer here.

set PATH="%PATH%;G:\Downloads\Develop\ffmpeg-2021-12-02-git-4a6aece703-essentials_build\bin"
setx PATH "%PATH%;G:\Downloads\Develop\ffmpeg-2021-12-02-git-4a6aece703-essentials_build\bin"

In addition, downloading a single video via ffmpeg does not require cookies, so this is not a problem.
