9 years ago getffmpeg.sh may have installed ffmpeg into a different location. Your /usr/bin/ffprobe is actually avprobe which is from lib-av (avconv), not ffmpeg.
if you rename /usr/bin/ffprobe to /usr/bin/avprobe and try running the script again, this may work.

9 years ago or search to see if you have other versions of ffprobe (ffmpeg) in differnet locations, and set that location for
[General]
ffmpeg_path =e.g if you installed ffmpeg at /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
then you would set
ffmpeg_path = /usr/local/bin/

A couple of questions before I close this:
libav-tools were installed through the system package manager and ffmpeg are no where to be found (checked with dpkg -l | grep <pkg>), so can I assume that getffmpeg.sh installed ffmpeg in /usr/local/bin?ffprobe command always tests the same file (/opt/nzbToMedia/tests/test.mp4)? Shouldn't test the downloaded file? Or does this file gets overwritten somewhere in the process?clinton-hall

9 years ago Get ffmpeg.sh should have installed to /usr/local/bin. The /usr/bin version is from your package manager... For whatever reason they link ffmpeg to lib-av on some systems.
Each run, this script will teste test.mp4 to verify that ffprobe works correctly with the commands (to prevent a false "failed" report). If test.mp4 can be parsed, it will then parse the actual downloaded file.

9 years ago Got it. Thank you :)
I used the
getffmpeg.shscript to installffmpeg,yasmandx264but I believe this is still not working for me. Here's the output from the log file:The script continues and completes successfully (calls CouchPotato renamer if that's relevant).
If I run that command manually and switch
-v quietto-v debug, I get the following:If I take the
-print_format jsonbit, I get this:Both of these give me an exit code of
1withecho $?(which is an error). But if I get the-show_erroroption out, I get a much longer output:And an exit code of
0, which is successful.So, what am I missing here? Is that
ffprobecommand with the correct parameters and I'm using an unsupportedffmpegversion? I read somewhere it could be that but I don't understand how since I used thegetffmpeg.shscript to install it.Thoughts?
