PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/4.4_2/bin'

After FFmpeg and FFprobe was installed and path updated. Got this permission issue.

The user running FastFlix doesn't seem to have perms to execute ffmpeg. What are it's permissions?

You can check with ls -lah /usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/4.4_2/bin and either add execute for "others" or run FastFlix as that user.

I am also having this kind of problem as below. I already install ffmpeg via homebrew, change the permission on '/usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/4.4_2/bin' with chown, make FastFlix executable, editing the yaml file, installing in other mac using macOS 11.5.1 (my main machine is using 10.14.6), but all result is the same. Maybe any solution found to this issue? Thanks in advance.

I'm also having an issue with FFMpeg. It asked to update and then didn't work. Now it says FFmpeg isn't installed and asks to download. It downloads but then crashes out and doesn't install.

Thanks! Chris
