Command line argument Support about mediatoolkit HOT 3 CLOSED

Always great to know it's helping people.

The implementation should already be there... I've been kicking the can down the road since forever but will definitely update the readme at some point...

The method you're looking for is Engine.CustomCommand(string ffmpegCommand)

So instead of Convert, you would use the method above (and yes it needs renaming, because its ambiguous as to whether you still need to call convert afterwards, another can far down the road, and the answer is no, you shouldn't)

Aydin, thank you so much for your reply!
I keep bangin my head against the wall, cause I tried

using (var engine = new Engine())
{
engine.CustomCommand(
"ffmpeg -i "C:\Users\ale\Documents\in.mp4" -filter:v "setpts = 3 * PTS" C:\Users\ale\Documents\out.mp4");
}

But nothing happened (I don't get any exception either!)
No, when I try the same string in the command line:

ffmpeg -i "C:\Users\ale\Documents\in.mp4" -filter:v "setpts=3*PTS" "C:\Users\ale\Documents\out.mp4"

It works perfectly. What am I doing wrong?

I know this is an old question but I ran across this myself. My problem was including the "ffmpeg" in the custom command.

The source code already calls 'ffmpeg.exe' when you include it in your project. So the final code should just be....

using (var engine = new Engine())
{
engine.CustomCommand(
"-i "C:\Users\ale\Documents\in.mp4" -filter:v "setpts = 3 * PTS" C:\Users\ale\Documents\out.mp4");
}

of course escape your quotes in the string.
