Necessary information

arguments: just the filename (including location):

$ TESSDATA_PREFIX=/nix/store/8lr60hp7yv0aysns056b74fsi8fm49zg-tesseract-3.05.00/share/ ./result/bin/ccextractor ~/Downloads/telecine.ts

platform: NixOS (Linux)
regression: I don't know

I hope that it works with any file that uses tesseract (files that store subtitles as images). Because if it isn't then it means that the location of the tesseract data is dealt in a separate way for different files.

I used the one from #1104 (https://edge1.motv.eu/telecine.ts)

Additional information

TESSDATA_PREFIX is an environment variable that points to the directory/folder containing the tessdata directory/folder. For some reason, ccextractor requires TESSDATA_PREFIX to finish with a /. It should work without one.

e.g.

TESSDATA_PREFIX=/nix/store/8lr60hp7yv0aysns056b74fsi8fm49zg-tesseract-3.05.00/share

Should work but it doesn't.
