Error: Cannot find module

[barbarosso]

I just installed the library via npm, and that went ok.

Now i try to run following code

var ffmpeg = require('easy-ffmpeg');
var fs = require('fs');
var command = ffmpeg();

var stream  = fs.createWriteStream('outputfile.mp4');

ffmpeg('Renson A 960_56.mp4')
        .output(stream).on('progress', function(progress) {
        console.log('Processing: ' + progress.percent + '% done');
});

and when i run node script.js, I get following error.

Error: Cannot find module '/Users/pascal/Desktop/easy-ffmpeg/node_modules/easy-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/darwin/x64/ffmpeg.js'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:336:15)

    at startup (node.js:129:16)
    at node.js:814:3

Shouldn't the path be ffmpeg without the js?

Hmm, not sure why it's trying to require that js file at all, but I noticed that the path should be directly to ffmpeg runtime, not the directory. Try v0.0.10 (latest on npm) and let me know how it goes.

@konsumer Hi, i just updated to v0.0.10.
I now get another error.

path.js:488
      throw new TypeError('Arguments to path.join must be strings');
            ^

I think the problem lies in the fact that the variable arch isn't declared yet.

var p = path.join(__dirname, 'ffmpeg', process.platform, arch, 'ffmpeg')

Shouldn't the following line be moved above the path.join?

var arch = process.arch

If i update the code and rerun, the error is gone, but no encoding is done.

Argh, that was a stupid error. Forgot to test. Updated to 0.0.11.

Okay,
It works now 👍
