Any ideas?

[justin025]

I have macos builds here, when i built 0.6 I pretty much ran below and it ran fine.
brew install python ffmpeg
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
build_mac.sh

you explain the steps you took, also use requirements from my repo instead, the one here is outdated

[judedanielsmith]

hey - thanks for the updated repo, it gets to preparing metadata when installing the requirements text, mac gets extremely hot and nothing happens. process doesn't terminate but just stays extremely hot, do I need to wait a while or is there something not working?

[justin025]

Sorry for forgetting but brew install ffmpeg might fix this. Make sure to build from 0.6.1
