Errror after gaps found

[alexandreraufast]

Hello,
I'm trying your code, find it incredibly useful, but i've got an error.
Do you have a clue about what's happening ?
(I'm on Windows10 x64, Python 3.5.2)

Thank you very much for this excellent code
(edit : I've got the problem with multiple mp4 files)

It seems that it misses ffprobe.exe tool from FFmpeg. Can you place it to %PATH%?

[alexandreraufast]

Hello,
I did add them to path, actually I've tried with C:\ffmpeg ; C:\ffmpeg\bin and C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffprobe.exe and I tried rebooting my PC, I've got exactly same error.
The name I gave to the path variable is "ffprobe.exe", and i also tried "ffprobe", but it doesn't matter does it ?

Thk you so much for your help

[alexandreraufast]

Ok, I'll solve this problem myself, doing 'set PATH=%PATH%;C:\ffmpeg\bin' before executing does the job, but unlucky, I still get an error

I don't know if that will help you, but if I try forcing String type with return json.loads(str(result.stdout)) in ffprobe line 8, I get this error

@alexandreraufast May I ask you to start fresh cmd.exe and type:

ffprobe c:/test.mp4

@alexandreraufast necro post perhaps but I will leave it here if anyone else needs it.
In ffprobe.py change line 8 to
return json.loads(result.stdout.decode())
