Getting ffmpeg output with QProccess

[rktech]

@SGaist

Is that video file located in the same folder as the executable ?

Yes, it is like this

You should also check whether the command failed and its standard erreur channel.

How?

[SGaist]

QProcess::readStandardError
QProcess:exitCode
QProcess::exitStatus

[rktech]

@SGaist How to correctly use readStandartError? Print in qDebug?

[rktech]

@rktech exitStatus: QProcess::NormalExit, exitCode: 1

That's one way yes.

I would drop error, but same as in my first post.

@rktech That was caused by splitting parametrs into list, but the problem with wrong error continues:

[SGaist]

Try removing the spaces in the parameter list.

Done like this:

params << "-i S01E01.mp4 2>&1";

Getting this error:

The

2>&1

Is not the problem, it drops same error without it.

[SGaist]

params << "-i" << "S01E01.mp4"

In any case, "2>&1" is command prompt specific, so it does not make sense to put it there and might even interfere.

@SGaist Thanks, now it works
