FFmpeg cannot edit existing files in-place.

[kryzpee]

Hey there!

I'm under Windows and unfortunately at the end where the script want to attach the audio stream I always get the following error:

Output c:\360\360_0108_pano.mp4 same as Input #0 - exiting FFmpeg cannot edit existing files in-place.

Any hints?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Sorry, but I'm not actively maintain this project anymore. I'll add myself a task to have a look in more depth or even refresh the project.

What you can try:

1. Add a delay before attaching the audio stream - perhaps the file is still open by an "old" ffmpeg process and "new" one cannot write.
2. (workaround) Before attaching the audio stream - make a copy and let the further processes operate on the copy of the file, not the original one.
3. (workaround) Get the PID of "old" ffmpeg and forcibly close it before attaching the audio stream.
