save.Video silently fails to overwrite old file

[maxheld83]

When I run saveVideo() again and again (with changes), the video file opens, but is not changed on the disk.
I am guessing it simply does not overwrite the old file of the same name.

The function issues no warning, but says:

Video has been created at: /Users/Max/Github/ODCD-experiments/animation.mp4

Can other people reproduce this behavior?

I am on:

• OS X 10.10.3
• Animation 2.3

Hello Maximilian,

The development version of this package already fix this bug. We will update it to CRAN when we finish some test for other functions.

To install the GitHub version under development:

install.packages('animation', repos = 'http:https://rforge.net', type = 'source')

i had the same problem and it took me some time to realize that ffmpeg isn’t steadfastly refusing to change the framerate, but it’s a bug in this package 😒

Should be fixed via 77af664. I'm preparing a CRAN release now.
