When I try to either drag a .ogg file into the window on the remux tab, or select the file from the file picker, the page flashes briefly and does not appear to have loaded the file. Going to the console from developer tools, I see
[AVFormatContext @ 0x2ab750] Unable to choose an output format for 'output.oga'; use a standard extension for the filename or specify the format manually.
at location
put_char | @ | libav-5.5.6.1.1-remux-cli.thr.mjs:662
and a printout that says "not a valid file".
I can play the file normally in Windows Media Player and VLC media plyer.
