This error means the translation task was started without a valid input video/audio file being selected in the main interface.
Solution
- In the "翻译视频" (Translate Video) main window, click the "选择视频或视频" button and select at least one video or audio file (hold
Ctrl to choose multiple). - If you intend to batch process a folder, check the "文件夹" checkbox and then select a folder containing supported files (
mp4/mov/avi/mkv/webm/mpeg/ogg/mts/ts/wmv/flv for video; wav/mp3/m4a/flac/aac/wma/ogg for audio). - Do not click "开始" (Start) before selecting an input file — the file path field must not be empty.
If the file picker does not open at all, try:
- Running
sp.exe as Administrator. - Moving the software to a simple English path (e.g.
D:\pyVideoTrans), and avoid paths with special characters or spaces. - Temporarily disabling antivirus/Windows Defender, which may block the file dialog.
If the issue persists after selecting a valid file, please provide the latest log file from the logs/ folder (copy the bottom ~30 lines of error output) so we can analyze further.
