Issue with command not finding the build about slp-to-mp4 HOT 5 OPEN

To tack on an additional piece of information - here is my config_windows file:

{
"melee_iso": "C:/Melee/Games for Dolphin/Super Smash Bros. Melee (USA) (En,Ja) (v1.02).iso",
"dolphin_dir": "C:/Users/Jake/AppData/Roaming/Slippi Launcher/playback",
"ffmpeg": "C:/Users/Jake/Documents/Slippi/Convert/ffmpeg-2023-01-09-git-13d04e30d7-full_build/bin/ffmpeg.exe",
"resolution": "720p",
"widescreen": true,
"bitrateKbps": 16000,
"parallel_games": "recommended",
"remove_short": true,
"combine": true
}

from slp-to-mp4.

Additionally, I am on the latest build for Slippi, and 3.10 for Python

from slp-to-mp4.

This has been an issue for a while now - see #16. It's been fixed in #21, but the author seems inactive. I recommend using my fork, which should be fully functional.

That being said, something about your setup does seem odd to me. It's weird that your Slippi Dolphin has no .exe extension. What happens when you double click either of the dolphin executables?

They are hiding file extensions in Explorer, so it might work if they rename it to simply "Dolphin". Or show extensions and verify it doesn't say "Dolphin.exe.exe".

@warjax:
Not sure when #21 will get implemented, but you can fix it now with a small manual tweak to config.py, line 8 like so:
DOLPHIN_NAME = 'Slippi Dolphin.exe'

My config file as follows:

{
    "melee_iso": "D:\\GAMES\\roms\\gc\\Super Smash Bros. Melee (USA) (En,Ja) (v1.02).iso",
    "dolphin_dir": "C:\\Users\\masterquest91\\AppData\\Roaming\\Slippi Launcher\\playback",
    "ffmpeg": "C:\\Program Files\\ffmpeg\\ffmpeg.exe",
    "resolution": "1080p",
    "widescreen": true,
    "bitrateKbps": 16000,
    "parallel_games": "1",
    "remove_short": true,
    "combine": false
}

You may notice that I had to escape the \ character in the file path. I don't know too much about python, but I would have thought that defining the path in "" would not make this necessary.

But in the original screenshot, some of the files have extensions, which is why I'm confused. Maybe it's some Windows jank 🤷.

Well the config file is JSON, not Python. That format is correct if you're using \s for your paths. See here for more (note that "\" is called a "reverse solidus").
