ffmpeg_bin_path` is not set

[Lennyblonde]

Hello there, i get a warning when i start my comfyui: Warning: ffmpeg_bin_path is not set in C:\A_Comfyui\ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\was-node-suite-comfyui\was_suite_config.json config file. Will attempt to use system ffmpeg binaries if available

I have tried to set the path, but i don't manage to do it properly. Is there anybody who can help me?

thanx in front Lenny

请注意看使用说明：“nodes require FFMPEG. You should download the proper FFMPEG binaries for you system and set the FFMPEG path in the config file.”你的这个was_suite_config.json文件中有一段关于ffmpeg路径的代码需要替换成你本地安装好的ffmpeg路径。

Did you install another node that uninstalled opencv-python-headless[ffmpeg] ?

You can always add your bin path to system PATHs ENV

Hello guys, Same issue for me and i've set FFmpeg in the c:// ENV Path, but comfyui is located on another hard drive. Should i set the path on D:// too ?

[WASasquatch]

You should point to your ffmpeg binary exe I am pretty sure. It's been a minute since I have used it since all the other video nodes.

But you can also set bin path in system environment path in windows.

I had FFMPEG installed allready "C:\PATH_Programs\ffmpeg.exe"

But as i copy this path to the was_suite_config.json file, then it doesn't work.

This is how i tried it:

"ffmpeg_bin_path": "C:\PATH_Programs\ffmpeg.exe" ,

But then i get this Error:

WAS Node Suite Error: Unable to load conf file at C:\A_Comfyui\ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\was-node-suite-comfyui\was_suite_config.json. Using internal config template.

Maybe my ffmpeg isn't installed properly? Or in can't find the path correctly, becasue i can only find the path to the ffmpeg.exe (which is i guess the install module)

Sorry, for being such a noob with this stuff, i just love stable diffusion, but i am terrible with all the technical stuff greets Lenny

Not that i am aware of

Don't you have a bin folder in your FFmpeg folder? If PATH_Programs is your FFmpeg root folder, You need to set: "ffmpeg_bin_path": "C:\PATH_Programs\bin" ,no necessary to set ffmpeg.exe（\must be double slash）

Sorry, for being such a noob with this stuff, i just love stable diffusion, but i am terrible with all the technical stuff greets Lenny I use macbook M1 pro. Add the ffmpeg path / Applications/ffmpeg I installed in the .json file. After rebooting, the mac terminal indicates that the installation is successful: "WAS Node Suite: ffmpeg_bin_ pathis set to: / Applications/ffmpeg". The file suffix is not required in the mac system. You can just navigate to the ffmpeg root directory to see if it is OK.

have a bin folder in your FFmpeg folder

no i don't have a bin folder in my FFmpeg folder

thanx for the help and the link, i will dive into it straight away :-)

Re-edit: My ffmpeg is installed correctly. It works now when i set my path like this: "ffmpeg_bin_path": "C:\ffmpeg"

The folder with the: ffmpeg.exe, ffplay.exe. and ffprobe.exe --> i called ffmpeg

Now it finally worked, thanx for the help everybody, i am very happy :-)

Hello, i have this same issue and ive done all the steps above ive succesfully installed FFmpeg and created a folder in C:\ffmpeg however im probably doing something wrong while editing the config, heres what it looks like

But does ffmpeg.exe exist in the folder you're linking? Usually it's ffmpeg/bin that actually contains the binary.

请注意看使用说明：“nodes require FFMPEG.您应该为您的系统下载正确的 FFMPEG 二进制文件，并在配置文件中设置 FFMPEG 路径。你的这个was_suite_config.json文件中有一段关于ffmpeg路径的代码需要替换成你本地安装好的ffmpeg路径。

我安装了 FFMPEG allready “C：\PATH_Programs\ffmpeg.exe”

但是当我将此路径复制到was_suite_config.json文件时，它不起作用。

这是我尝试的方式：

“ffmpeg_bin_path”： “C：\PATH_Programs\ffmpeg.exe” ，

但是后来我得到这个错误：

WAS 节点套件错误：无法加载 conf 文件。使用内部配置模板。C:\A_Comfyui\ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\was-node-suite-comfyui\was_suite_config.json

也许我的 ffmpeg 没有正确安装？或者无法正确找到路径，因为我只能找到ffmpeg.exe的路径（我猜是安装模块）

对不起，我之所以是这些东西的菜鸟，我只是喜欢稳定的扩散，但我对 Lenny 的所有技术问题都很糟糕

Windows 下尝试用C:\PATH_Programs\ffmpeg.exe 这种格式。你要考虑到Python语言的转义符。

[Ropgrc]

Windows users, following the steps below, the step-by-step operation will surely solve your problem.

1. Enter the website "https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/", find the "ffmpeg-git-essentials.7z" file and download it.
2. Unzip the downloaded "ffmpeg-git-essentials.7z" file.
3. Create the folder "FFmpeg" in the root directory of drive C, find the bin folder in the decompressed folder, and copy all the files in the bin folder to the "FFmpeg" file.
4. Open the file "ComfyUI\custom_nodes\was-node-suite-comfyui\was_suite_config.json", change the path of "ffmpeg_bin_path" to "C:/FFmpeg", and save the file. +Note: / in "C:/FFmpeg" must be /, not .
5. Restart ComfyUI and the problem is solved.

[beyastard]

NOTE the following:

WRONG: "ffmpeg_bin_path": "C:\PATH_TO_FFMPEG_BIN\ffmpeg.exe"

RIGHT: "ffmpeg_bin_path": "C:\\PATH_TO_FFMPEG_BIN\\ffmpeg.exe"

[Oddsodz]

Is there a unraid linux way of adding this to path?

[WASasquatch]

Point to the bin folder so it can find appropriate binary

Ropgrc basically got it right but I think he made a typo. In essence for Windows use "/" instead of the default "\ ". So use C:/Program Files/ffmpeg/bin instead of C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin
