How can I add background music to a video?

[sebbourgeois]

On my end, I have a "post-treatment" script that I use on every video generated, that adds copyright free music in the background.

Have pushed some updates, pull the latest code and try these out :

Enable background music that will be randomly selected from the assets/music folder :

python app.py --enable-background-music

or specify a file to use as the background music

python app.py --background-music-path "E:\Music\Colter Wall - Cowpoke.mp3"

@alexlaverty I started today trying that new feature.
First video generated, got an error :

@sebbourgeois can you share the reddit url and the command you used to generate, will try to reproduce

@alexlaverty
python app.py --url https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/188rpps/what_is_the_grossest_hygiene_issue_you_overlooked/

In the settings,py :

...
enable_background_music = True
background_music_path = ""
background_music_volume = 0.1
music_directory = str(Path(assets_directory, "music"))
...

Just tried with this recent subreddit, same error :

For the sake of testing, I've switched enable_background_music to False in the settings,py file and did a
python app.py --enable-background-music --url https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/188rpps/what_is_the_grossest_hygiene_issue_you_overlooked/

Same result.
