converter.ffmpeg.FFMpegError: ffmpeg binary not found: ffmpeg #24

I have seen the source code, and the error occurs at line 318 of the ffmpeg.py file.

I just do not understand what I did wrong. I followed the installation instructions. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.


I realized that I had to install ffmpeg separately, I did so from ffmpeg.org , but it still wants me to have an ffprobe, which is within the ffmpeg package I think, so I am trying to get it configured right.

Maybe add 1 line to the readme, stating that you need to install ffmpeg separately (helpful for noobs like me)? :+1:


Actually I'm getting confused on how to import a folder with C programs into a python file.

Hope someone can show me some example code to get it setup.

Thanks. :)

I installed it via Homebrew, that worked for me.
