FFMPEG not properly downloading in application

[megahirt]

This happened on JB's computer - I could not repro on my computer (worked fine). We are both Windows 10 and latest HearThis and Bible Karaoke.

Seems like BK is creating the binaries folder after clicking Make My
Video? Is it downloading the binaries?

On my system, in \AppData\Local\Programs\bible-karaoke\binaries, there
was only one file, ffprobe.exe.

I downloaded
https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/static/ffmpeg-4.2.2-win64-static.zip
(linked from ffmpeg.org) and copied ffmpeg.exe from the zip to the
binaries folder.

Now the BK generates the video successfully!

Not sure why ffmpeg.exe is missing in the binaries folder?

From W:

From my testing, it does seem to be downloading ffmpeg on the fly.

When I turn off the wifi, delete the binaries folder, and click Make My Video, it creates the folder but ffprobe.exe does not appear. After turning on wifi and re-running the same test, ffprobe.exe appears. Seem to be some race conditions between the downloading of ffprobe.exe and clicking Make My Video. The first time Make My Video is clicked, this error appears:

Uh-oh!
Looks like something went wrong.

Error trying to read audio length

Clicking Make My Video again gets past this but eventually still fails since ffmpeg.exe is not downloaded successfully.
