I can't generate cards with the movies2anki - subs2srs setting. Here's the full error message from Anki:

Error An error occurred. Please start Anki while holding down the shift key, which will temporarily disable the add-ons you have installed. If the issue only occurs when add-ons are enabled, please use the Tools > Add-ons menu item to disable some add-ons and restart Anki, repeating until you discover the add-on that is causing the problem.

Please double check that FFmpeg is installed by opening the Terminal app and typing ffmpeg. It'll probably say that command not found.

Use https://brew.sh/ to install ffmpeg and restart Anki.

brew install ffmpeg

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/macOS#ffmpegthroughHomebrew

FFmpeg is already installed and up to date.

This is strange. Where is it located? What which ffmpeg says in the Terminal?

Alternatively, open the Debug Console in Anki and execute these lines.

https://docs.ankiweb.net/#/misc?id=debug-console

from distutils.spawn import find_executable
print(find_executable("ffmpeg"))

For me, the output is C:\Programs\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe

On Mac, the add-on expects ffmpeg to be located at /usr/local/bin or anywhere in the Path.

which ffmpeg returns /opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg.

The debug console returns:

>>> from distutils.spawn import find_executable ... print(find_executable("ffmpeg")) None

Thank you! Found it! The default installation path for Homebrew was changed for Apple Silicon.

This script installs Homebrew to its preferred prefix (/usr/local for macOS Intel, /opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon)

I've updated the add-on on AnkiWeb to search for ffmpeg in /opt/homebrew/bin and the issue should be fixed now. Please use Tools - Add-ons - Check for Updates to update the add-on and restart Anki.
