vertd does NOT work on Windows

[kkohler2]

I downloaded vertd-windows-x86_64.exe [Nightly build #5] from https://github.com/VERT-sh/vertd/releases
Opened a command prompt and ran vertd-windows-x86_64.exe

This gave me an error about ffmpeg not found.
I solved the ffmpeg issue by running winget install "FFmpeg (Essentials Build)" as described on https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/

Then I ran vertd-windows-x86_64.exe again with the following output:

[2025-12-16T20:26:45Z INFO vertd] starting vertd
[2025-12-16T20:26:45Z INFO vertd] working w/ ffmpeg 8.0.1-essentials_build-www.gyan.dev and ffprobe 8.0.1-essentials_build-www.gyan.dev
[2025-12-16T20:26:46Z INFO vertd] detected a NVIDIA GPU -- if this isn't your vendor, open an issue.
[2025-12-16T20:26:46Z INFO vertd::http] http server listening on 0.0.0.0:24153

I opened chrome and browsed to http://localhost:24153
This resulted in a 404 error with the message No webpage was found for the web address: http://localhost:24153/
Same error if I used http://0.0.0.0:24153/

From what I can tell, this SHOULD work. Any ideas? Is this an issue on my end or a real problem with the build?

vertd is not a website, it is used by the vert (the website) to perform video conversions. on the website, you can choose "custom" for the instance and set that to http://localhost:24153 to use vertd.
