Generating anki cards fails to store audio clip or image snapshot about mpvacious

I just checked. It works great now. Thanks so much for your help!

Media creation depends on mpv's built-in encoder. In some versions of mpv it may be missing, which is most likely why this error occurs for some users. In the readme you can find instructions for checking whether your version of mpv has the encoder or not.

I'm going to copy the instructions here.

Try running this command in a terminal.

$ mpv 'test_video.mkv' --loop-file=no --frames=1 -o='test_image.jpg'

Replace test_video.mkv with a valid path.

If you get an error, you need to find and install a different build of mpv that has the built-in encoder.

Thank you for the quick response. The shell command to test this isn't running for me. It says "command not found: mpv". I wasn't sure if adding mpv to path would make it possible. I had added the /.config/mpv directory to my path variable but I wasn't sure if that was what it meant.

[tatsumoto-ren]

The directory containing the mpv executable file should be added to PATH. On GNU/Linux this is achieved by editing ~/.profile, I assume the process is similar on a Mac.

I was able to run it. This was the output I got:

If you have the image generated successfully, media generation should work fine from now on as long as you keep mpv in PATH.
