Troubleshooting

• Problem: ffprobe is not recognized as an internal or exernal command, operable program or batch file.
  • Solution: Install ffmpeg and restart your computer or at least re-open the command prompt.
• Problem: ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: "'".
  • Cause: There's an invalid file inside videos subfolder. Currently mkv is not supported.
  • Solution:
    • Verify script file sanitize_video_titles.py is not under videos subfolder,
    • Verify there are no non-video files (e.g.: mp4, webm) there either,
    • Verify no video file has an invalid file name (e.g.: spaces or special characters),
    • Convert any mkv files to mp4: ffmpeg -i video.mkv -codec copy video.mp4
• Problem: The system cannot find the path specified.
  • Cause: Your VLC is not installed under C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC.
  • Workaround: Check if the clips.xspf playlist file was created. If so you can double-click it and VLC will play the clips.
  • Solution: Edit exevlc.bat to specify the correct path to vlc.exe (e.g.: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLANVLC\vlc.exe").
