Trying to add in DLLs for QT6 to work with QMultimedia

[djotaku]

My repo is at https://github.com/djotaku/ELDonationTracker/tree/qt6

The errors I'm getting are:

I have tried adding the ffmpeg directory in my repo where I have those DLLs to the --add-data and to the -p and it still doesn't find them. What do I need to do to get this to find the DLLs?

Thanks!

Add the location with those DLLs to PATH environment variable before you run PyInstaller.

Just in case someone finds this in the future. I tried doing that literally a dozen different ways and it didn't work. In the end, I just manually copied those files into the directory that pyinstaller was looking for them in C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\Python\3.11.9\x64\Lib\site-packages\PyQt6\Qt6\bin and that worked.
