Windows issue, pi karaoke starts but when trying to add any song to queue nothing plays

[simbrrraaiinnss]

Hi all! Not sure what is causing this, checked that all files exist in this error. When I run pikaraoke, the browser opens and I can access the items; however, no song plays when selected. The error I am getting is below. Any help is greatly appreciated! Just got done making a pikaraoke for my parents using Raspberry and trying to transition to this PC by my TV. Is it because there's no subdirectory of C:\Users\k\Scripts\pikaraoke.exe?

It seems PiKaraoke is unable to find ffmpeg, I had the same issue on Windows. I used the portable version of ffmpeg. I placed ffmpeg.exe (and its accompanying files) to the same folder where I launch PiKaraoke. In your case, maybe place it at C:\Users\k\.

Also, why you have two different folders? k and kiddo

File "C:\Users\k\Lib\site-packages\pikaraoke\karaoke.py", line 724, in run
self.play_file(self.queue[0]["file"], self.queue[0]["semitones"])

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thank you for the advice, I'll give it a shot. That was me missing truncating my user folder name, whoops. :\

This did the trick! Thank you!
