Hi there, after installing the library and use it to extract the audio from a YT video, the output is this

Same error on Windows where brew does not exist. There are many options to install a homebrew version of FFmpeg on Windows such as Winget, Chocolatey, Npackd, Scoop, and OneGet for Windows 10. I chose Winget. It should automatically be installed with your windows machine.

still having the same error upon installing with winget
