StreamCap offers multiple versions of installation packages to meet the needs of different users. Here is a guide on how to choose the right version for you.

• StreamCap_xxx_Win_x64.zip
  • Includes FFmpeg: This version includes precompiled FFmpeg and is suitable for most users. If you are unsure whether FFmpeg is already installed, it is recommended to download this version.
• StreamCap_xxx_Win_x64_noFF.zip
  • Excludes FFmpeg: If your system already has FFmpeg installed and the environment variables are configured, you can choose this version. This version does not include FFmpeg, reducing the size of the installation package.

• StreamCap_xxx_mac_universal.dmg
  • Includes FFmpeg: This version includes precompiled FFmpeg and is suitable for most users. If you are unsure whether FFmpeg is already installed, it is recommended to download this version.
• StreamCap_xxx_mac_universal_noFF.dmg
  • Excludes FFmpeg: If your system already has FFmpeg installed and the environment variables are configured, you can choose this version. This version does not include FFmpeg, reducing the size of the installation package.

If you are an advanced user or need to compile StreamCap from source code, please follow the steps below:

1. Clone the Project Code:

   git clone https://github.com/ihmily/StreamCap.git
   cd StreamCap

2. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the Program:

   python main.py

4. Install FFmpeg (if needed):

   • If your system does not have FFmpeg installed, please visit the FFmpeg Official Download Page to download and install it.
   • Ensure that the path to the FFmpeg executable is added to the system's environment variables.

• Importance of FFmpeg: StreamCap relies on FFmpeg to process video streams. If you choose to download the version that excludes FFmpeg, please ensure that FFmpeg is correctly installed on your system and the environment variables are configured.
• Environment Variable Configuration: If FFmpeg is installed on your system but the environment variables are not configured, the program may not run properly. Ensure that the path to the FFmpeg executable is added to the system's environment variables.
• Version Compatibility: Ensure that the version of your operating system is compatible with the version of the installation package you download.
