Can't find ffmpeg.exe with ffmpeg_path set about ffmpeg-normalize HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for the detailed report.

The issue seems to be that ffmpeg-normalize looks for the OS environment variable FFMPEG_PATH and expects it to point to the actual ffmpeg binary, i.e. C:\Program Files\FFMpeg\ffmpeg.exe rather than the directory containing it.

To fix this, please set the FFMPEG_PATH to C:\Program Files\FFMpeg\ffmpeg.exe.

This is a somewhat odd choice since, normally, PATH variables point to directories containing binaries. But undoing it would also mean breaking compatibility with existing scripts.

Alternatively, you may add your ffmpeg binary to the system PATH:

• Open the Start Search, type in “env” and select “Edit the system environment variables”
• In the System Properties window, click on the “Environment Variables” button
• In the Environment Variables window, under System variables, find the PATH variable, select it, and click Edit
• Click New and add C:\Program Files\FFMpeg to the list
• Click OK to close all the windows

Ah, that works. Thanks.
