    Hello there. Thanks for that wonderful piece of software. I deploy/update FFmpeg on many PCs at work during monthly maintenances via a script. I therefore need this process to be silent. Desptite the /VERYSILENT parameter given to the installer, FFmpeg launches itself after install... which is a pain. Any solution to this problem? Thanks!

    Hi, I guess you mean that default setting to open application after successful installation is not convenient for you. Then you would need a custom installer with that setting unchecked.

      Yeah, I guess that's the idea!

    I understant, but I think that setting checked by default is useful for most people.

    You could just use the portable zip version that requires no installation to silently deploy
    any update.

    Thanks for the idea! Unzipping the portable version into in the C:\Program Files.....\FFmeg and thus erasing the previous version does the trick indeed. Just have to keep previous FFBatch.exe.config file to keep personnal settings.

    You can remove the settings folder from deployment, the point is that the application path should be able to write a settings folder again, and if applications is in program files, that may not be possible.

    Hi @eibol, I wonder where I can view the keyframe list. Usually it's above the Start/End tick, but since version 2.7, I can't see it anywhere.

    Tks for your great software.

      An easier way to obtain the report:

      Pre-input: -skip_frame nokey
      Parameters: -vstats_file C:\Report\stats.txt -vf "select='eq(pict_type,PICT_TYPE_I)'" -vsync vfr -frame_pts true -f null -
      Format: nul

        Does this still work in ffbatch 3.0.0? This doesn't work for m4a files :(

          Yes, it works, ensure you have writing rights in the Report/stats.txt path.

    Hi, I had to remove due to application getting two big. You may get find them by finding a vstats
    file at %YourTempFolder%\FFBatch_test\vstats.log

    You need to click on the preview first (display streams) so keyframes are readed and vstats file is generated.
