Hi there!

I've tried to install Fastflix on MacOS with your instructions, made your ffmpeg/ffprobe are available, and after installing it with pipx, I get this error:

fastflix-core[11540] INFO Starting FastFlix 3.2.1

RuntimeError:
        An attempt has been made to start a new process before the
        current process has finished its bootstrapping phase.

        This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
        child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom
        in the main module:

            if __name__ == '__main__':
                freeze_support()
                ...

        The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
        is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.

Have you seen this before? Anything I can do on my end?

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting that issue, I don't have a Mac so wouldn't have known!

That is an odd one, I am trying a fix with newest version (currently in hdr-opt branch).

Not sure if I can get access to a Mac this weekend to test it, so may have to go out blind. If you're comfortable with git / command line feel free to try it yourself.

Looks like it worked! I just ran it from the hdr-opt branch and it works like a charm. Thanks!
