Error: Contains "ffprobe exec error"

1. If you frequently encounter errors containing "ffprobe exec error", it's highly probable that the video filename is too long or the video's file path is excessively deep. This is especially common with videos downloaded from YouTube, where filenames can be hundreds of characters long. If the video is also located within a deeply nested folder structure, you'll almost certainly run into Windows' path length limitations.

As shown in the image above, a deep folder hierarchy combined with a long video filename will almost certainly cause errors when invoking ffprobe or ffmpeg.

The solution is simple: create a new English folder directly under a drive (e.g., D:/myvideos/), rename the video to something short and simple (e.g., 1.mp4), and move it to this folder. Then try again; the error should be resolved.

2. For non-Windows versions, verify if FFmpeg is installed. If not, please install FFmpeg. For Windows versions, check if ffprobe.exe exists within the FFmpeg folder. If it doesn't, download ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe and place them in that directory.
