(SOLVED) FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

[quantuan125]

Hello guys,

I tried to follow the installation and got some success to get the webui started.

However, as I tried to upload and transcribe an uploaded video with default settings. I'm getting this error.

Before clicking on the transcribe button, my video comes up fine, which suggests that the video file path has been found, so perhaps the file not found in this case is the directory of the transcription text??

Do you have any idea how to fix this issue? This is the full error:
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

SOLVED:

It is a rookie mistake that I did not install ffmpeg on my whole system (through choco) but only in vscode(python). The application is now doing great!
