Could not find ffprobe executable with nest.js

[fenfil]

Error: Could not find ffprobe executable, tried "/Users/fenfil/Projects/back/dist/apps/api/node_modules/ffprobe-darwin-arm64/ffprobe" and "/Users/fenfil/Projects/back/dist/apps/api/src/node_modules/ffprobe-darwin-arm64/ffprobe"

Actual executable is in "/Users/fenfil/Projects/back/node_modules/ffprobe-darwin-arm64/ffprobe""

Having a similar issue:

There are actually 2 NPM packages & repositories for this project:

• @ffprobe-installer/ffprobe which references this repo
• node-ffprobe-installer which references a newer fork

A node-ffprobe-installer update seems to have broken the executable's path resolution in some environments, including NestJS' local one. Issues are not enabled on their repo, but maybe @Beekiper can help :) While waiting for a fix, sticking to @ffprobe-installer/ffprobe should prevent this issue.

Be careful as the wrong package might still be registered as a dependency of one of your dependencies (for example get-video-duration updated it from 3.0.2 to 3.1.0).

@mcottret Thanks for explaining that.

Closed as not applicable? Feel free to reopen if still an issue.

The other package exists because I added arm64 support for M1 Apple Silicon. Sorry but uploading a second one was the only way to deliver a product of ours on time!

I have never used Nest therefore I have no idea how to fix this.
