Error, containing "ffprobe exec error"
- During execution, errors containing the characters "ffprobe except error" are frequently reported. In most cases, this is because the video name is too long, or the video is located in a path that is too deep. This is especially true for videos downloaded from YouTube, where the names are generally hundreds of characters or even longer. Also, if the folder hierarchy where the video is stored is very deep, it is almost certain that you will encounter the path length limitation on Windows.
Like the image above, the folder hierarchy is deep and the video name is long. When calling ffprobe or ffmpeg to execute commands, errors are almost certain to occur.
The solution is simple: directly create an English folder under a certain drive, then rename the video to a simple name and put it in, for example, D:/myvideos/1.mp4. Then try again, and there should be no errors.
- For non-Windows versions, check whether ffmpeg is installed. If it is not installed, please install ffmpeg. For Windows versions, check whether there is ffprobe.exe in the ffmpeg folder. If not, please download ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe and put them in that directory.
