Space in path about ffmpeg-android-java

[hiteshsondhi88]

you can add quotes while sending file path with spaces

[protoss5482]

I tried with quotes:
-i '/storage/emulated/0/Music/They Might Be Giants - Seven Days Of The We.mp3' -strict experimental -ab 48000 -ac 2 -ar 22050 /storage/emulated/0/Music/out.mp4

logcat:
'/storage/emulated/0/Music/They: No such file or directory

Or there must be other quotes?

Try escaping the spaces similar to this -> "./ffmpeg -i /sdcard/sample\ 1.mkv /sdcard/sample\ 2.mp4"

I followed your suggestions of using single and double quote and also tried using escape sequence while using path with spaces.

However the log cat still source same error.

Any other suggestions please.

I discovered that calling "Runtime.getRuntime().exec();" with a string array as parameter instead of string solved this issue, by passing the commands as an array allowed me to include spaces.

Ex: Process run(String command[]) {
Process process = null;
try {
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("Exception while trying to run: " + command, e);
}
return process;
}

This library uses Runtime.getRuntime().exec(String) method wich is not good if you have for example double quotes ( see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14078799/getruntime-exec-with-double-quotes-in-command ). Need to switch to exec(String[] cmdarray)

I've just done a pull request for this: #17

[dayeba]

i'm having the same issue, i tried escaping and my final command is
ffmpeg -y -i /storage/emulated/0/Download/1\ -\ 1.mp4 -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -maxrate 750k -ss 0.0 -to 120.0 -vf scale=480:-2 -r 24 -strict -2 /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/aaa.mp4
and logcat says
Unrecognized option ''.
Error splitting the argument list: Option not found
Do I have to use Runtime.getRuntime().exec() then?

[rafaelekol]
