TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType

I can't get the infer-web.py to run in a venv for python

python3 infer-web.py --pycmd python3

Can someone point me to the right direction? I'm new to linux and would appreciate the help

Tried a new install and again I have a problem with infer-web.py

python3 infer-web.py --pycmd python3

  File "/home/user01/AI/RVC/infer-web.py", line 57, in <module>
    if not config.nocheck:
AttributeError: 'Config' object has no attribute 'nocheck'

Different problem with the same file! I tried to use an earlier release version of infer-web.py but it was the worst solution.

Any ideas or pointers are much appreciated

A different version of infer-web.py from hugging face

python3 infer-web.py --pycmd python3

Is it the file?!

Make sure you have ffmpeg installed at the root directory of rvc (as mentioned in the docs). It seems like the program cannot read the audio files currently (it needs ffmpeg to process audio files).

[Ahmad4kTesting]

It is not ffmpeg

destination path 'ffmpeg' already exists and is not an empty directory.

Can't get past this:

ffmpeg.exe must be in the root directory of RVC. Have you made sure it's there? I am not too sure what you mean by not an empty directory.

@Ahmad4kTesting I solved this by deleting the .env file and create a new one from original repo.

+1. I have ffmpeg at root, tried replacing the .env file, and even doing a whole reinstall as another user mentioned. I'm at my wits end here. I repetitively get the error that the OP opened with. Same file, same line trigger (line 342/343).

[maoyaodev]

#2345 Is what solved this issue on my end. It is in fact directly related to .env. You need to make sure the file is hidden, otherwise RVC won't be able to recognize it. It installs as unhidden on some OSes (Linux, in my case) by default.
