RuntimeError: No ffmpeg exe could be found. Install ffmpeg on your system, or set the IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE environment variable.

Directory commented 4 years ago

Expected Behavior

not getting an error

Actual Behavior

getting the error in the title

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

be me and try to run from moviepy.video.io.ffmpeg_tools import ffmpeg_extract_subclip

ffmpeg is installed with apt and i can confirm its location in /usr/bin/. additionally ive also executed pip install imageio-ffmpeg in the python virtual environment and it is installed. ive logged platform.python_version() to confirm i was in the 3.8.0 venv. executing a plain interpreter terminal in the venv and trying to import it manually does not resault in an error. only during execution. the execution is in a flask application deployed with gunicorn and nginx.

Specifications

Python Version: 3.8.0
Moviepy Version: the newest
Platform Name: Ubunto server
Platform Version: 18.04

Directory commented 4 years ago

i dont really know what an exe would be doing on linux anyway. but if theres some way to manually point it to /usr/bin/ffmpeg that might do it

tburrows13 commented 4 years ago

I'm not sure why yours isn't working, but you can specifically point it to /usr/bin/ffmpeg by putting the following before importing anything else from moviepy:

from moviepy.config import change_settings
change_settings({"FFMPEG_BINARY": "/usr/bin/ffmpeg"})

or you can manually edit the file config_defaults.py.

Note that this will change in v2.0 (#1109). Either it will be fixed, or you'll have to use an environment variable.

If you'd like help fixing the actual problem of ffmpeg not being auto-detected, please provide the full traceback error that you get.

even that raises the same error.

Ok, try this before importing moviepy:

import os

Directory commented 4 years ago

hmm that actually does seem to work. it imports without error. ill get back with a follow up if it actually works works and close the issue

tburrows13 commented 4 years ago

Sure. It’s not a great solution, but maybe it will be properly fixed in v2.0.

geyang commented 3 years ago

The issue is that this appears on our HPC system sporadically, during model training.

So even if previous calls worked, this could happen during the same RunTime. There must be something pathological going on.

For those on MAC, if you install ffmpeg with Homebrew, then the path is different, so the code become :

import os

os.environ["IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE"] = "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/ffmpeg/5.1/bin/ffmpeg"

M0nochrome commented 2 years ago

For those in Windows: backward slash and forward slash is not the same. tburrows13 solution does work but you have to use the forward slash for the destination of ffmpeg and not backslashes. If you want to use backslashes then you have to use double backslashes:

import os os.environ["IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE"] = "C:/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe"

or

import os os.environ["IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE"] = "C:\\ffmpeg\\bin\\ffmpeg.exe"

(correct for your actual ffmpeg location)

Is there an equivalent environmental flag for libraries? Here's why: My homebrew installed into Cellar/ffmpeg/5.1.2.reinstall/... but when that executable runs it still searches for libraries in the /5.1.2/ directory. It seems like an error in an iOS system but this is not my expertise.

line in my python file is contains the 5.1.2 as it is the current version (not 5.1): os.environ["IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE"] = "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/ffmpeg/5.1.2/bin/ffmpeg"

I'm not sure what is this "5.1.2.reinstall". Why is there the "reinstall" word ? No idea, it should be clean 5.1.2 IMO

davidbernat commented 2 years ago

@justnpT: Thank you. That is not the question. The name differential is connected to homebrew. The question is whether a separate library flag is in the environment variables.

https://github.com/imageio/imageio-ffmpeg : If you're using a Conda environment: the conda package does not include the ffmpeg executable, but instead depends on the ffmpeg package from conda-forge. Install using:

$ conda install imageio-ffmpeg -c conda-forge

lgjonathan commented 1 year ago

Setting "IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE" didn't work for me.

I had to specify the path in mediapy/__init__.py

class _Config:
  ffmpeg_name_or_path: _Path = r"D:\Programs\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" # insert  ffmpeg.exe path here
  show_save_dir: _Path | None = None
