• I’ve got the plugin running perfectly on my web server, but my local server, seems to be having issues.
    I get this error with ffmpeg:

    FFMPEG is not executing correctly at C:\ffmpeg\bin\. You can embed existing videos and make thumbnails with compatible browsers, but video encoding is not possible without FFMPEG.
    
    Error message: handler_name : SoundHandler File 'G:\Dropbox' already exists. Overwrite ? [y/N] Not overwriting - exiting

    I’m not quite sure, its looking in G:\dropbox however the wordpress installation is there, but none of the ffmpeg files are.

    Is there a custom setting I should set to have it ignore the dropbox directory?

    Also here is the detailed log:

    BTW great product. I’m using it for more and more clients. Look forward to your payment upgrade. Please don’t remove anything from the free plan. ??

    My guess is the parentheses in the folder name are messing up execution of the FFMPEG command. Parentheses are a security risk because they could allow arbitrary code execution and have to be escaped. If you can easily remove the parentheses that’s the first thing to try.

    Don’t hold your breath on any paid upgrades. I’m working too much on my day jobs.
