"Bad File Descriptor" when creating VideoFileClip

[cjrd]

Hello,

I'm using moviepy 0.2.1.8.10 on OS X 10.7.5 with python 2.7.8
Executing:

from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip
VideoFileClip("some_video.mp4")

always throws a
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor
at
moviepy-0.2.1.8.10-py2.7.egg/moviepy/audio/io/readers.py

I've attached a screenshot of the traceback, in case it's useful.
Any idea why this error is occurring?

Thanks for the report. I have no idea what can cause this, but by googling around it seems that it is MacOS-related. Could you try to just comment away that line and reinstall ? If the program runs properly after this, I'll add a condition to skip that line on Macs.

Could you also try VideoFileClip("some_file.mp4", audio=False) just to be sure that the problem is not just with the audio ?

[cjrd]

Commenting out that line and reinstalling seems to have worked, and the clip.audio was present.
Setting audio=False does not throw an error, but as expected, the audio was missing.

Thanks, I'll try to correct that in the next commits. Cross-platform pipe operations are really a pain.

I think it is now fixed in the github version. If you have the occasion, give it a try and tell me if it works for you.

The current repo version worked without any modification.
Thanks!

[Zulko]

Cool. Thanks for the feedback.

There's another flush call that threw an error on my system:

Commenting out this line fixed the problem.
