"regex match on video stream data failed" for some files

[EricTheMagician]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is an issue I should be posting here or on ffmpeg, but I get this issue:
regex match on video stream data failed: ffmpeg -i episode.mkv

When I run it, I get this for the output:

I apologize for the delay. I completely missed this issue. So it appears either your input mkv is missing the video stream or ffmpeg can't figure it out. pytranscoder requires at least 1 video stream and 1 audio stream to correctly parse the results, hence the error.
