IOException: Error running exec() Command, When calling FFmpeg method

Question

i am trying to create a slide show mp4 using this ffmpeg method but i keep getting this IOException Error running exec(). Command when i click the button.

here is my call

ffmpegController = new FfmpegController(getTempDirectory(), new File(""));
ffmpegController.createSlideshowFromImagesAndAudio(slideFrames, getAudioPath(), getOutPath(), 500, mCallbackResponse);

Here is the source code of the small project. Here is the apk

And here is my Error message

   Error running exec(). Command: [ffmpeg, -y, -i, /storage/emulated/0/TestFFmpeg/frame1.png, /storage/emulated/0/TestFFmpeg/temp/image-000.jpg]

any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

use below code to initialize ffmpeg

ffmpegController = new FfmpegController(MainActivity.this, getTempDirectory());

Answer 2

you will need to copy ffmpeg binaries to res/raw folder as discussed here.

you may also need to build them first (dont just copy from above project), and make sure they can run on the device you are planning to test.
