Hi Tim,
As Jim was saying it's unfortunately a little difficult from what we can
see if it's ffmpeg causing you this trouble.
There are bots which monitor this list and send cryptic messages about
"learn what top-posting is and stop doing it". You may have just
triggered them. This
<http://ffmpeg.org/mailing-list-faq.html#What-is-top_002dposting_003f>
is a hint about what they mean.

Maybe, maybe not. The purpose of FFprobe is to examine a media file and
print out facts about its structure, format, size, etc. Maybe it can do
that in a few milliseconds. Computers these days are very fast. Or maybe
it is just failing immediately.

Good, good. That context matters for this list.
…For some reason he cannot tell me what's going on, he just
keeps saying it's probably a problem with ffmpeg on my machine. I will push
him to look closer at the exceptions that seem to not be ffmpeg related.…
I can think of something the developer could do. The event log entries
you included in your message show that FFprobe was called, but they
don't show the result, or even whether the result indicated success or
failure. The developer could ensure that some indication of result made
it into these logs.
… Could you please let me know what
command line I could run just to see if ffmpeg.exe or ffprobe.exe are
working as expected?…
The first log entry appears to show how the app called FFprobe. You
could try to run that same command yourself from the Command Prompt:
C:\> "C:\PB_short_path_test\PinballBrowser756\ffprobe.exe" -v error
-show_format -show_streams -print_format xml "C:\Users\My
Name\AppData\Local\Temp\pbi2.mp4"
When you run that, what do you get?
Also, the final quoted entry in that command is the location of the file
being probed. Maybe try this again, but with you filling in the location
of the file you want to use.
Try posting the complete uncut command and output of those two experiments.
Best regards,
—Jim DeLaHunt
