[Bug] ERROR:spleeter:ffmpeg binary not found

KooperTheTrooper15 commented 1 year ago

[✔️] I didn't find a similar issue already open.
[✔️] I read the documentation (README AND Wiki)
[✔️] I have installed FFMpeg
[✔️] My problem is related to Spleeter only, not a derivative product (such as Webapplication, or GUI provided by others)

Description

After following all of the provided steps for installation, having installed ffmpeg and libsndfile, the only outcome when I try to separate a tarck is this. ERROR:spleeter:ffmpeg binary not found

Step to reproduce

Dependencies installed using miniconda3
Library installed using pip in regular cmd
Run spleeter separate -o audio_output [my file's directory]

Output

Expected outcome: The program getting my tracks separated.

Obtained outcome:

ERROR:spleeter:ffmpeg binary not found

Environment


OS	Windows 11 Home 64 bits
Installation type	Conda / pip
RAM available	7.30 GB
Hardware spec	Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650, AMD Ryzen 5
Computer	HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15

Additional context

At first, i didn't know how to install ffmpeg so i just downloaded it from the webpage and executed it, then closed it. It didn't do anything so I installed ffmpeg with pip. I checked a ton of times that it was installed before everything else. Then, i executed pip install spleeter. After some time, it says everything is completed, but I double check everything's done executing pip install spleeter. I try to separate the file as the image says, and I receive the error. Later, I realize that I shouldn't have installed ffmpeg with pip, so I pip uninstall spleeter and then hop on to miniconda3 (anaconda, basically) to run conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg libsndfile. It goes fine. I open cmd and run pip install spleeter once more to see if it works. Same error comes out. What did I do wrong here? How can I fix this? Do you recommend me any tutorials? I couldn't find any of them that were up to date. Thanks.

FFMPEG exe package file and adding the path to environment variable worked for me. For download check out: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-essentials.7z
