When I upload an mp4 video file to the vector database, I get the following error. Are there any special requirements for mp4 format files? Thank you!

It is possible you do not have ffmpeg installed on the host machine (assuming you are running locally since the Docker container has this installed).

If you use Choloately as your package manager on windows: choco install ffmpeg

Keep in mind we don't explicitly support a windows local development for reasons just like this! The root cause though is that ffmpeg is not installed on the host machine though.
