  1. FFMediaToolkit

    FFMediaToolkit is a cross-platform video decoder/encoder library for .NET that uses FFmpeg native libraries. It supports video frames extraction, reading stream metadata and creating videos from bitmaps in any format supported by FFmpeg.

    I have C# project in rider and FFMediaToolkit installed via NuGet. I made instance of MediaBuilder. When I hit run I get this error message: `` /home/john/Projects/Slimulator/bin/Debug/net5.0/Slimulator /home/john/Projects/Slimulator/test_mazes/small-maze-food2.png Loading file /home/john/Projects/Slimulator/test_mazes/small-maze-food2.png Unhandled exception. System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Cannot found the default FFmpeg directory. On Windows you have to set "FFmpegLoader.FFmpegPath" with full path to the directory containing FFmpeg shared build ".dll" files For more informations please see https://github.com/radek-k/FFMediaToolkit#setup at FFMediaToolkit.FFmpegLoader.LoadFFmpeg() at FFMediaToolkit.Encoding.Internal.OutputContainer.Create(String extension) at FFMediaToolkit.Encoding.MediaBuilder..ctor(String path, Nullable1 format) at FFMediaToolkit.Encoding.MediaBuilder.CreateContainer(String path) at Slimulator.AnimationBuffer..ctor(String videoPath, Int32 height, Int32 width, Int32 frameRate) in /home/john/Projects/Slimulator/AnimationBuffer.cs:line 11 at Slimulator.Simulation..ctor(Space space, String seed, String outputVideoPath) in /home/john/Projects/Slimulator/Simulation.cs:line 12 at Slimulator.Launcher.Main(String[] args) in /home/john/Projects/Slimulator/Launcher.cs:line 8
