Asar for using ffmpeg

[arcovoltaico]

Hi, as your last versions do not add the app.asar directory into the compiled app anymore. My app fails while trying to locate the ffmpeg executable. To fix it I added "asar": false, "asarUnpack": [ "node_modules/ffmpeg-static-electron" ], in the beginning of electron-builder.json. The resulting compiled app not only still lacks this asar folder, but is unable to render anything leaving me with a white screen and an empty console.
Any idea how to tackle it?
Cheers

Hi

According electron-builder documentation, when asar is set to true, Node modules, that must be unpacked, will be detected automatically, you don’t need to explicitly set [asarUnpack].
If you extract files of app.asar from release/win-unpacked/resources folder with npx asar extract app.asar destfolder command, you must have a node_modules folder with your npm dependencies. Don't forget to add you dependencies also in app/package.json (see two package structure of electron builder)

On your exemple, you have asar set to false with asarUnpack. I think this is a mistake but did you try with asar set to true ?
