pyWinContext not running commands
I've recently tried getting into using pyWinContext to setup a script to convert MKV to MP4, But it does not run the commands attached to the action for some reason. I can run the ffmpeg command itself to convert in Powershell and it works. I get the setup.reg in the run folder, And the Group and Action shows up when right clicking.
Does anyone know what I could do to fix this? Or alternate ways todo the same thing?

You could try file converter:
https://github.com/Tichau/FileConverter
or Nilesoft's Shell context menu with some extra work:

Not sure if pyWinContext is still actively used or in development, but those solutions are what I am currently using.
Well it's not maintained but it still just works
Can you post the pyWinContext configuration window, and teh script you're using to run FFmpeg?
I thought it quit working for me after a Python update, but that might've just been me
Runs fine for me and I'm on 3.12
I'll have to try it again then
This?
Yep that's it
Can you add a line to that command list that's just the word
pause
Then run the script against a file, and take a screenshot of the console window that appears with the error message
I added it
But nothing happens, like I don't see a console window opening. Not in the task manager either
Also, something I don't know if it's note worthy but when I save the script it doesn't bring me to the run folder but my documents tab. So I have to manually navigate to the run folder to run the .reg
Are you using the latest release from the github page, or did you download the latest source code and run it from there?
The reason I ask is because the latest release didn't include a fix that handled quotes within the command
Ah might be that then, I did download the latest exe(0.1.2) from github
GG @Seid0, you just advanced to level 1 !
I should ask the owner if he'd be cool with me taking over for it, I was the one that submitted that fix 4 years ago, and the original dev is busy being a full-time developer for OBS
TIME TO FORK
Wait so what do I need todo to potentially make it work? Download an older version?
