    1. COYou are referring to two different things actually. The `PYTHONPATH` is where python will look for modules to be imported. The `PATH` is where a command shell will look for executables (like ffmpeg.exe). Can you provide a bit more information regarding the nature of your problem?

    3. COTo sum up that duplicate question... Do you have ffmpeg installed? If so, then make sure the location containing `ffmpeg.exe` is in your windows PATH variable. You can google how to update the windows PATH environment variable.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
