Video encoder/extern.py broken about cevidium

[KickingAnimal]

Nevermind it defaulted to python 3.x instead of the unsupported python 2.x and then needed to reinstall pillow module with pip

[KickingAnimal]

well I ran into another issue [FILEPATH]\CEVidium\CEVENCODER>BUILD2.BAT -i FILENAME.mp4 -d -e M2A4 -f Loading libraries... External library file loading Traceback (most recent call last): File "tools\toolkit2.py", line 57, in <module> settings = extern.Config(extern.STATUSF) File "[FILEPATH]\CEVidium\CEVENCODER\tools\extern.py", line 405, in __init__ self.vname,self.enco,self.titl,self.auth = self.arr ValueError: need more than 3 values to unpack

[KickingAnimal]

I also "fixed" it with changing extern.py line 405 from self.vname,self.enco,self.titl,self.auth = self.arr to self.vname,self.enco,self.titl = self.arr and added another line with self.auth = self.arr

so from
self.vname,self.enco,self.titl,self.auth = self.arr
to
self.vname,self.enco,self.titl = self.arr
self.auth = self.arr

[KickingAnimal]

my "fix" worked once then it did not anymore

[KickingAnimal]

reverted my fix and it works like it should have in the beginning. strange...

The reason this happens (I think) is because you've already built a video. What worked for me (since I only need 1 video) is to delete the bin and obj folders from CEVENCODER. Doing that will delete the 8xp files that BUILD2 outputs, so back them up or something. I haven't tried the small fix that you showed after though.

I know this is unrelated to your current issue, but would you be willing to explain how you use ffmpeg to convert a video so that it fits on the calculator? I don't understand how it works and I just want to put Bad Apple on my calculator.

This was not the problem. I remember after some time I didn't have any problems anymore. I think I lacked dependencies and used python3 instead of 2

I build it using build2.bat in windows and the parameters which can be used and explained of you view the help page of build2.bat. I thought it was setting like build2.bat -h for help

Do you have to put ffmpeg BUILD2.BAT and then the parameters or is it just supposed to be BUILD2.BAT then parameters? I tried running the command you were using in the BUILD2.BAT file from cmd (with my video filename substituted of course), but it returns absolutely nothing.
BUILD2.BAT -i FILENAME.mp4 -d -e M2A4 -f

[KickingAnimal]

Just the BUILD2.BAT but make sure your CMD is opened in the same directory as the build2 file. Otherwise you should do cd [your file path]\CEVidium\CEVencoder where your file path probably starts with C: and then the directory where you put CEVidium
Edit: you can I believe also drag and drop the path from the explorer to the CMD so you don't have to type it

[cheesemagic]

Ok, so I've tried it this way:
[FILEPATH]\CEVidium-master2\CEVENCODER>C:\[FILEPATH]\CEVidium-master2\CEVENCODER\BUILD2.BAT -i BADAPPLE.mp4 -d -e M2A4 -f
but it still returns nothing and starts a new line on the same directory in cmd.

Maybe the batch file is broken? Or do I need to reinstall some of the dependencies?

Hey send me a DM on discord that may be faster KickingAnimal#3556

Okay. I'll have to DM you later though because I am at school.

[KickingAnimal]

Use python 2.x and double check if it uses it.
Other issues are ghost issues, one time it is bad other times it works.
