Huh, nothing super jumps out to me as an obvious tell, but the last bit is talking about some weird stuff with NTFS. Do you have a drive with Windows or formatted by Windows mounted maybe? Something could be up with that drive, or if you’re using it for something important to the system that could be a problem. You can just follow the recommendation in the log and use chkdsk on it but that could potentially be destructive to the data on the drive so be careful and make backups if needed.

Is there anything in the journal? If you’re not familiar, try something like journalctl -o short-precise -k -b -1 and then look for anything weird.

Okay looks like your format spec should look something like 'bv*[ext=mp4][vcodec!^=av01]+ba[ext=m4a]/b[ext=mp4][vcodec!^=av01]'. Single quotes needed to keep shell expansion from fighting me, not sure if that will be an issue for you. You may have intended this, but the extension restriction does mean that you’ll sometimes skip “better” formats like VP9 if they are webms or something, and you can specify an output mux if that is what you are trying to achieve.

I think you would want to include [vcodec!=av1] somewhere in your format specifications. Let me try it and see.

No particular experience with the VPN issue so feel free to completely ignore this idea, but if you do have to stick with something resembling your current solution it could make sense to put it in a VM or container so that the process of rebuilding it is not so burdensome.

Maybe also add -v for verbose? I just tried it on my admittedly very different EndeavourOS system and the original command started right up downloading a video

Meanwhile I’m out here like “wow I hope I submitted my receipt correctly and do not get banished to the shadow realm”

I saw https://opencut.app/ recently, could be worth a try.

Hello! Is this something you run, or just a project you are enthusiastic about? We have some users who are reporting this because it does read a bit like an advertisement, so if you could clarify that would be helpful. Thanks!

Mentioned elsewhere in the thread I think but not in a direct reply so making sure you see it, Lutris has the game specific scripts but also ones to set up environments for Origin/EA App. I’ve used those before with Sims 4 with both several expansion packs and some custom content.

I’ve been using EOS for about a year and a half, and for the year and a half I used Manjaro, and this is spot on. EOS is just a better experience, plus they’ve got much cooler default backgrounds!

Based on the content of the linked post and the evolution of the thread here, the mod team has decided to lock this post. There is an important difference between standing up for people who are marginalized and harassment, which this thread has been more or less equating. Please deal with this topic in a more nuanced manner going forward.

If you’re willing to roll your own a bit, whisper.cpp is pretty good
