🔒 .py to .exe issue

[flint charm]

Hello there! I struggle a lot with converting a .py to an .exe.
I have a Minecraft sound extractor in here and no matter if i bundle ffmpeg, ffprobe and patch_subprocess, the .exe won't work for others if they won't have these files idk what to do honestly.
Here the code itself and the patch_subprocess.py
Help pls:_)

patch_subprocess.py:

class NoWindowPopen(subprocess.Popen):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        startupinfo = subprocess.STARTUPINFO()
        startupinfo.dwFlags = subprocess.CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE | subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
        startupinfo.wShowWindow = subprocess.SW_HIDE

        kwargs["startupinfo"] = startupinfo
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)


subprocess.Popen = NoWindowPopen```

Hey @flint charm!

Please edit your message to use a code block

Add a py after the three backticks.

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

seems ffmeg.exe not the only file ... mabye you need to add the whole ffmpeg folder

[flint charm]

i added ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe, there's another one ffplay.exe but i don't know if the code uses it

[flint charm]

also if i do it in auto-py-to-exe where should i add these files, in additional files or in advanced in add binary?

the ffmpeg.exe and the other .exe

oh actually i think i tried both

[ionic oak]

dont know auto_py_to_exe ,,,
better use pyinstaller and setup yourself .. i think you need the whole directory

[flint charm]

the thing is the final .exe wil work for others only if they have ffmpeg.exe, ffprobe.exe and patch_subprocess.py

but i bundled them and it still won't work

[ionic oak]

hmmm okay ... but than you must put an information where is standard path for ffmeg on OS (dont know how exactly) but i think so

[flint charm]

all the files are in the same file as the script

[ionic oak]

yes but ffmeg.exe i think is not a standalone file ... but only this one is add to your compiled exe

[flint charm]

idk basically the bundling doesn't work for some reason

[ionic oak]

try with pyinstaller and add the exe to hidden-import

[flint charm]

yeah tried this too, still didn't work

[ionic oak]

always compiling isnt that easy if you have external stuff^^

[flint charm]

yeah...

[ionic oak]

if you are shure that only exe is important try both once exe unpack in same folder your exe and once in main-temp-folder

[flint charm]

Yeah both are important, i tried to delete each from another pc and it doesn't work

The thing works as long the .exe are with the final program

[grand wyvern]

Auto py to exe is just a front end for pyinstaller

Also pyinstaller is not a compiler

[flint charm]

Alr I'll just have it as a zip folder with a few files in it

I'm sooo done with it, I'm good with what I have
