Using ffpyplayer

[jdauthre]

I have installed ffpyplayer on windows 10 including adding path. Followed all the instructions but get errors when I try to run any examples, eg running simple transcoding example. output:

Python 3.9.1 (tags/v3.9.1:1e5d33e, Dec 7 2020, 17:08:21) [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

================= RESTART: C:\Users\jdaut\python\ffpyplayer.py =================
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\jdaut\python\ffpyplayer.py", line 1, in
from ffpyplayer.player import MediaPlayer
File "C:\Users\jdaut\python\ffpyplayer.py", line 1, in
from ffpyplayer.player import MediaPlayer
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ffpyplayer.player'; 'ffpyplayer' is not a package

ffpyplayer is definitely in the site packages folder. Any clues as to what is going wrong?
Thanks in advance

It's because your script name, ffpyplayer.py is shadowing the package so Python imports your script instead of the package when you try to import ffpyplayer.

Try renaming your script to something else.

Thank you! Should have thought of that
