Hi Jim,

where does 'Unknown command line flag 'f'' appear? I can't see it in the stack trace. Also, which Python version and on which OS are you working on?

'Unknown command line flag 'f''
gets printed to stdout
I am using python 3.6 and centos 7.2

I see. Did you make sure to use the requirements specified in https://github.com/ferreirafabio/video2tfrecord/blob/master/requirements.txt ?
Reading [1], I believe this might be a tensorflow issue. According to user taixhi, you could try this:

"I solved this issue by adding the line:
tf.app.flags.DEFINE_string('f', '', 'kernel')
what this essentially does is that it creates a flag f. This is effective as jupyter notebook supplies a flag "-f" to pass a name for a JSON file, likely for the kernel."

@ferreirafabio - great find, thanks!
Yes, adding this line worked:
tf.app.flags.DEFINE_string('f', '', 'kernel')
