pip install ffmpeg-python instead of pip install ffmpeg

[muellermartin]

I had the same error, because python-ffmpeg was installed instead of ffmpeg-python. Therefore this can be considered as fixed.

[hldh214]

try another filename (don't use same name as your imported package)

[tung-nguyen-uet]

It doesn't solve my problem. I have install pip install ffmpeg-python

import ffmpeg filep = '/path/to/my/file.mp4' stream = ffmpeg.input(filep) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in AttributeError: module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute 'input'

[vinooo1095]

I'm guessing this happens if you've installed both, ffmpeg and ffmpeg-python. uninstall both with: pip uninstall ffmpeg pip uninstall ffmpeg-python

and install ffmpeg-python again with : pip install ffmpeg-python

This solved the problem in my system :)

[shgninc]

I have same problem, install and uninstall the module multiple times.

but i forgot to install ffmpeg package.

[nlsdvl]

you will probably end up with that exact error if you do : pip install python-ffmpeg

instead of : pip install ffmpeg-python

at least, I did ...

[CharlesChen-ccc]

1. Make sure you had pip install ffmpeg-python
2. You should copy the ffmpeg.exe to you ***.py file work directory

[rupshac]

If I install ffmpeg + ffmpeg-python I see the same issue.

If I install only ffmpeg-python I see "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ffmpeg'

[hobbitsyfeet]

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/main/ffmpeg.py", line 1, in import ffmpeg File "/main/ffmpeg.py", line 2, in stream = ffmpeg.input('video.mp4') AttributeError: module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute 'input'

If you're silly like me and create a file named ffmpeg.py to test things out, the first command you call is obviously ffmpeg.input(...). Since you're re-defining ffmpeg it does not contain ffmpeg.input.

Therefore, AttributeError: module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute 'input'

The solution to this: Make sure your Python file isn't named ffmpeg.py

thank you! If it wasn't for you, I would have been tortured to death.

I've tried all of the above solutions, I either get "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ffmpeg'

I still have this problem in the Jupyter notebook, so I use vs code. AttributeError: module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute 'input' this can be solved, but I get new error.

[johntsunami]

The answer is here. You probably didn't install ffmpeg completely and setup the environmental variables. Link shows all the steps.

May your interpreter has no ffmpeg-python

[michalbartkowski]

Here is a possible fix to the error: AttributeError: module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute 'input'

I found that the above error occurs only when my python script is named 'ffmpeg.py'

Renaming the script solves the above error in my case

I used conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg, and it works. It turned out that ffmpeg installed by pip was of a too old version.

[459737087]

pip install python-ffmpeg

this is right

[dinuthomas]

Finally worked for me after doing this,

1. pip uninstall ffmpeg-python
2. pip3 install ffmpeg-python

So try installing with pip3..

This worked for me:

Uninstall both with:

So I ran into this issue today and came here to see a ton of people talking about solutions that don't work... the real solution here (besides making sure you have ffmpeg and ffmpeg-python installed) is to install ffmpeg manually so that you can access the executables.

Whisper is attempting to call ffmpeg by just invoking the "ffmpeg" command line. No pathing is taken into account in these libraries, so you need to install ffmpeg AND make sure it's callable from your python application.

Manual ffmpeg installation steps

1. Navigate to https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
2. Download (or clone and then build) the desired build of ffmpeg
3. Extract the files if you downloaded it
4. Add the bin path to your environment path

I'm guessing this happens if you've installed both, ffmpeg and ffmpeg-python. uninstall both with: pip uninstall ffmpeg pip uninstall ffmpeg-python

and install ffmpeg-python again with : pip install ffmpeg-python

This solved the problem in my system :)

Thanks I was bout to go crazy restarting and reinstalling ffmpeg over and over.

[desaiankitb]

For me none of the above solutions worked. However, the following did worked. I was using this in ipynb you can modify the commands as per your environments. Don't change the sequence.

! apt-get --purge autoremove
! yes | pip uninstall ffmpeg
! yes | pip uninstall ffmpeg-python
! yes | apt-get -y install ffmpeg
! yes | conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg-python
! yes | pip install ffmpeg-python 

[101is5]

This is how it worked for me:

• install ffmpeg through choco or scoop, as mentioned here (Apparently, it's different than through pip);
• install ffmpeg-python through python -m pip install ffmpeg-python, or run pip install -U openai-whisper, which installs ffmpeg-python.

Before that, I had come across 3 types of errors when swaping between ffmpeg and ffmpeg-python pip instalations:

• with ffmpeg or both installed:

  
  module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute 'Error'
  AttributeError: module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute 'input'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

File "C:\Users[me]\Documents\programacao\testwhisper\wsp.py", line 5, in text = model.transcribe("audio.mp3") AttributeError: module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute 'Error'

* with ffmpeg-python only:

Exception has occurred: FileNotFoundError [WinError 2] O sistema não pode encontrar o arquivo especificado File "C:\Users[me]\Documents\programacao\testwhisper\wsp.py", line 5, in text = model.transcribe("audio.mp3") FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] O sistema não pode encontrar o arquivo especificado

By the way, ```pip install``` hasn't worked for me in a while. It's been only ```python -m pip install ...```, otherwise I get a "not accessed by Pylance" error and, if I try running the script, I get:
```Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError
No module named 'ffmpeg'
  File "C:\Users\[me]\Documents\programacao\testwhisper\wsp.py", line 2, in <module>
    import whisper
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ffmpeg'

[luoshuiyang]
