How to link ffmeg to mediamtx on windows?

[dams92210]

I am running successfully mediamtx on Windows 11 but I cannot make any call to ffmpeg.
I tried having it in same fonder, In the path system variable but nothing works.
Can you help?

Hello, make sure that you're using the native Windows version of FFmpeg (not the Cygwin one, not the MinGW one, not the WSL one) and use the absolute path in the configuration:

paths:
  mypath:
    runOnReady: 'C:\Users\my user\ffmpeg.exe' ...

I finally found what was the issue as I tried the absolute path already without success.
I trick is to use Unix style path not Windows, aka: c:/pathtoffmpeg/ffmeg.exe

Thank you for the fast answer
