porn3dx script/ffmpeg issue?
so im trying to use the porn3dx script to download a video from porn3dx, and after some issues, i mostly solved it by copy/pasting the ffmpeg.exe file into the same folder as the script, but at the end, it gave me [mpeg-convert:83144] could not find output file
what am i doing wrong? how do i use the script right?
That message appears when the merged file was not created or the script cannot see the created file. I've updated that message to also now include the path that it's checking. Please re-download and run the script with -V, then send the output.
The reason moving ffmpeg.exe into the directory worked is because you do not have ffmpeg on your path. You can lookup how to do this easily and then move ffmpeg to it's own directory, add that directory to your environment path, and then run ffmpeg from any directory on your system.
here's the command i used, and the verbose output below. Also, the folder in which this script sits is using a variant of ffmpeg built specifically for yt-dlp
the strange thing is, it downloaded the video, but in multiple parts, and i guess didnt fuse them into one? i ended up having to use a different tool called gallery-dl along with yt-dlp to download the video into one single part
Yes, the ffmpeg command is for merging the segments downloaded from the site. Unfortunately nothing looks wrong with the output. I don't know if it's because you're on Windows or because of your ffmpeg build. ffmpeg not producing the single video file would imply the process failed, but in that case the script should say "failure in executing ffmpeg". If gallery-dl/yt-dlp is working for you I suggest sticking to those. I had no problem downloading from that link myself.
$ p3dx-dl -V --directory "temp1" --format best "https://porn3dx.com/post/83465/raven-craves-it---part-2"
