Generating a empty file list when I run: bash generate_rawframes_filelist.sh kinetics400

[ChengYuChuan]

When I try to prepare the kinetics400 following this guide: https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmaction2/blob/master/tools/data/kinetics/README_zh-CN.md

I encounter a problem when I run : bash generate_rawframes_filelist.sh kinetics400 everything goes right, but my under this path /work/cheng/VST0114/mmaction2/data/kinetics400 so-called: kinetics400_train_list_rawframes.txt. it's empty...

that's my log down below:

Have you already downloaded the Kinetics videos and got frames extracted? which are steps 2 & 3 in the tutorial

[ChengYuChuan]

I did actually.

However, when I ran the code bash download_videos.sh ${DATASET}, it did create the folder but it didn't download the video clips......

[ChengYuChuan]

there are only folders. it didn't download the mp4 file into the folders.....

[kennymckormick]

OK, maybe then you need to first check the downloading scripts.
