Did you download the right ffmpeg, the windows 32bit or windows 64bit compatible acc. to your windows version. Also check if the ffmpeg path is added (https://github.com/lossless1024/StreaMonitor/issues/21#issuecomment-1282196132)

Builds can be found here:

https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/

These are the ones installed by Chocolatey (choco install -y ffmpeg).

Check your build and path as mentioned.

A ffmpeg -version on CMD or PowerShell shuld give something like this:

FFRuntimeError exception always gets thrown when .run() method fails. This mostly happens when ffmpeg can't be started or really has an accident.

If you get an error when running ffmpeg -version you found your problem.

So what should i do now whats the first step?

1.Check your windows version, is it 32 or 64 bit (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/which-version-of-windows-operating-system-am-i-running-628bec99-476a-2c13-5296-9dd081cdd808) 2. Download the same version of ffmpeg as your windows 32 bit - https://web.archive.org/web/20200901115933/https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/static/ffmpeg-4.2.2-win32-static.zip 64 bit - https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-full.7z Also, remove any previously downloaded ffmpeg if you are downloading new one 3. Add path (https://github.com/lossless1024/StreaMonitor/issues/21#issuecomment-1282196132)

2. Download the same version of ffmpeg as your windows 32 bit - https://web.archive.org/web/20200901115933/https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/static/ffmpeg-4.2.2-win32-static.zip 64 bit - https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-full.7z Also, remove any previously downloaded ffmpeg if you are downloading new one

That's an version which gets old now.

5.1.2 x64 build: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-release-essentials.zip (SHA256 Sumfile: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-release-essentials.zip.sha256)

Due to the fact that the installed Windows base is nearly completely x64 today there are no actual builds for x86 or ARM at the project side. So it would be needed to build it manually if a actual version is wanted.

The above 5.1.2 version is the one Chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/) also uses. If Chocolatey is installed choco install -y ffmpeg would be enough.

Chocolatey is a recommendation for Windows users in general. It gives freedom and saves lifetime.

Place the content of this in e.g. C:\ffmpeg\ and then add C:\ffmpeg\bin\ to your path.

Thank you Very much, but there is other issue after recording when i opened the file it shows a blank white screen in (Vlc Media) but doesnt load the video and i thought its the issue with the Vlc media but its hows same in other streaming apps

[DerBunteBall]

This looks like a corrupted file.

Did the show stopped regular? Or did you stop ffmpeg with stop command or the complete Downloader.py process?

Best Regards

[Nutmegkumar]

I closed the whole program

[DerBunteBall]

We had a problem realted to stopping ffmpeg cleanly for a while.

So also the stopping of the whole program produced corrupted files from time to time on Windows.

To verify you can check the file with MedaInfo (https://mediaarea.net/de/MediaInfo/Download/Windows). If it presents like a file without a full MP4 header that's the problem. If that's the case you have a truncated/corrupted file and you can try to use untrunc (https://github.com/anthwlock/untrunc) to fix this. Check also info #35 (hint of @sunriceStream).

Capture a stream of the same model and then run untrunc with the working new video and the corrupted video. Because it's the same video source (camera, stream server and so on) the chances are not the worst to repair it.
