I have tried to fix the Issue Look for this Variable : "FFMPEG_EXE_PATH " then Replace This Line of Code with below code

FFMPEG_EXE_PATH = find_by_relative_path(f"Assets{os_separator}bin{os_separator}ffmpeg.exe")

@rustoys377-sys

Make it work by yourself. 👨‍💻

Prerequisites.

Python installed on your pc (https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3119/)
VSCode installed on your pc (https://code.visualstudio.com/)
AI models downloaded (https://gofile.io/d/5O0nnS)
ffmpeg.exe file downloaded (https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/) RELEASE BUILD > ffmpeg-release-essentials.7z

And you have to extract ffmpeg.exe in the Assets folder

i see i must download an ffmpeg.exe file into the assets folder and this stops error from happening. thank you but does it matter which one i use. i beleive i can use any ffmpeg.exe file

This makes sense its a long but procedural process

yes my friend, any ffmpeg.exe should work, after install it restart qualityscaler

It worked thank you so much. i had to create a bin folder and change it to what the person said here bin separator. i hope this tool is very good
