Re: "package video is empty"

Andy,

 

I re-installed and got rid of the errors, but the error for avifile still comes up.  I navigated to the packages and I think I may have found the problem.  All off the package folders contain a bunch of .m files (all of their functions) but the video package and a few others are empty except for a "packinfo" folder.

Hi Cam, try 
pkg list 
And 
pkg load video 

First list all installed and loaded packages (*). This is a FAQ See in wiki.octave.org. Regards, Andy
