Video combiner not working

[Sirdarcy69]

Hello, I tried to combine a video stream and an audio stream but the media converter crashes immediately. Here is the error log screen shot:

Thanks,

Can you share the files here for testing? You can zip them and drop them here

[Sirdarcy69]

It won't let me attach the files as they are too big (total of 40MB)

[inbasic]

Can you share the YouTube video link then?

[Sirdarcy69]

Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clX7SBsAb8A&t=4s I downloaded the video stream and audio stream separately using the Firefox add-on "You Tube Video and Audio Downloader" so I can get the 480p resolution.

[inbasic]

What is the filename of both audio and video files?

Can you replace them with video.mp4 and audio.m4a and see if it helps?

[Sirdarcy69]

I changed the names as suggested but it crashed all the same

[inbasic]

are you sure both files are downloaded correctly? make sure their size is not zero. I am going to try to reproduce this.

[inbasic]

do you have issues with other conversions tabs too? like converting to mp3?

[Sirdarcy69]

I checked both files and they work perfectly. So it's not the video/audio files.
Mp3 conversion also crashes the converter. here is the log:

I just tried to upload the audio file as a .zip but get the message: "We don’t support that file type. with a PNG, GIF, JPG, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, PDF, or ZIP. " ?????

[inbasic]

so most likely the downloaded FFmpeg is corrupted. Try to get a fresh copy and set the path to the new executable in the settings tab.

[Sirdarcy69]

Yep, that was the problem indeed! The FFmpeg exe had only downloaded partially. An idea might be to add a progress bar and a way of checking that it has been downloaded properly rather than just the hourglass. Just a thought of course. Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it!

I have the same problem. This is what I got when installing the native client:

user@Name ~ $ ./install.sh NodeJS status = 1 ./install.sh: line 8: node: command not found Installer is using the attached NodeJS -> Root directory is /home/user -> Creating a directory at /home/user/.config/google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts -> Chrome Browser is supported -> Creating a directory at /home/user/.config/chromium/NativeMessagingHosts -> Chromium Browser is supported -> Creating a directory at /home/user/.config/vivaldi/NativeMessagingHosts -> Vivaldi Browser is supported -> Creating a directory at /home/user/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts -> Firefox Browser is supported -> Creating a directory at /home/user/com.add0n.node => Native Host is installed in /home/user/com.add0n.node

Application is ready to use <<<

I'm thinking a "command not found" error might do it, no?

TIA

@AudioArchitect-R this seems like there is a problem in my native client. What is the output of which node when executed in the console? What is your OS?

OK, haven't used MC&M all that much until recently, wanting to use the video combiner since a firefox addon, youtube video and audio downloader [dev. edition] breaks/separates the files when you want highest resolution. When I drag the two files to the drop box [files renamed to videoHMMM and audioHMMM] theres no issue; MC&M seems to be doing the job. But when I play the combined file, it is only the audio file there under a different file name [a -1 is added at end of file]. Am I missing a sequence or something? will attach the two files. ok, cannot attach; files are not supported

PS. ffmpeg has recently been re-installed, since a previous user had possibly a bad install.

@FanOfMiku39 the MC&M extension looks at the file extensions to audio and video files. I just tested the latest version and the merging works as expected. Please post sample files to investigate. You need to ZIP both files and drop it here.

[inbasic]

btw to test your FFmpeg integration, download this sample video file https://www.w3schools.com/htmL/mov_bbb.mp4 and drop it into the audio extractor tab. If it works then the merger tool should work too.

[FanOfMiku39]

****@Inbasic here are the files I'm trying to merge

Hm, cannot put files bigger than 10MB here and it is zipped...is there a size limit for MC&M? And I will DL the video file you mentioned and see what MC&M does with it.

[FanOfMiku39]

Ok, the audio extractor did indeed work with that sample video mov_bbb.zip

[inbasic]

is there a size limit for MC&M

Nope!

Hm, cannot put files bigger than 10MB here and it is zipped

Use Dropbox or another file sharing service and share the link to the ZIP file then

[FanOfMiku39]

Here are OneDrive links to the audio and video that I'm trying to combine:
