I am a python newbie and am trying to generate subtitles from mp4 files in python using whisper-timestamped library. I keep getting "[WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified" when I try this code:
audio = whisper_timestamped.load_audio(videofile)The weird part is that I tried opening the mp4 file using moviepy to change it to audio just to check if its accessed and it worked fine and the code was able to save the audio file afterwards.
This is the full error code:
