I've found the problem, the ffmpeg library could not be found, if you're on macOS, just install it through homebrew: brew install ffmpeg

This works on MacOS, and I presume would also work on Ubuntu though I didn't test it. If you need to control the FFMpeg version or don't want to explain to your user how to install it on their computer you can also add the "cmd" parameter to the .run() command. (ffmpeg .input(inputFile) .output(outputFile, params) .run(cmd='/path_to/ffmpeg') )

Do you solve it?

Yes, it's working on Ubuntu. In particular: video_stream,err = ( ffmpeg.input('TheBigBangTheory.mkv') .output('pipe:', format='rawvideo') .run(cmd='/path_to/ffmpeg',capture_stdout=True) )

[DALIHILLARY]

You have to first install the ffmpeg program ..

Ffmpeg-python is just an API to the program.

apt-get install ffmpeg That is if you are using linux

On Windows， you must set environment variable PATH.

• set it temporarily in python code.

import os
os.environ['path'] = 'C:\\data\\ffmpeg.exe'
# do someting

• set it permanently in cmd

setx "PATH" "%PATH%;C:\\data\\ffmpeg.exe" /m

What version(s) of ffmpeg does this package work with? Would you accept a pull request that documents the ffmpeg dependency?

this solved it for me too

[MrCri5py]

For windows 10: Download the ffmpeg.exe here https://ffmpeg.org/download.html extract the folder then change your directory to the bin file (which includes the .exe file) change your input video file path on line 85 (otherwise it will say file not found error) and run.

Hi, I am having this error too: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ffmpeg' I installed with HomeBrew, but the problem persists. I am guessing that I need to add the path to the bash file, but I do not know if that is the problem and how to do it. If someone can explain me how ti fix this, as detailed as possible (new into Mac), I would really appreciate it.

[FernandoJGomez]

I also tried this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1o6MWnmwpY&ab_channel=RickMakes and did not work

[FernandoJGomez]

well I solved it (I think) following this (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40509002/ffmpeg-is-not-being-detected-by-spyder): "You need to install a copy of ffmpeg that can be recognized by Anaconda. Please run this command in a terminal to do that": conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg

Hi 😁👋 This is how l solved my problem in Windows 🪟

We Open the Terminal in admin mode And execute the following command and click yes[y]

choco install ffmpeg

[xiuxiuing]

I've found the problem, the ffmpeg library could not be found, if you're on macOS, just install it through homebrew: brew install ffmpeg

I have a error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ffmpeg': 'ffmpeg' When running the python program, specify the path of ffmpeg， Environment variables: PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/homebrew/bin This is how I solved it

If you are trying to use ffmpeg with Python, there is no easy or difficult solution. I have tried many ways mentioned here and beyond and simply ffmpeg does not work with Python3 and produces [Errno 2]. An alternative (and the best so far) for me has been executing command line FFmpeg command in python using subprocess.

Spent a while trying to fix this, and this finally worked. Thank you!

It worked for me too. Thanks for saving a lot of my time. I tried installing either or both ffmpeg and ffmpeg-python, but I had issues either way. One thing weird was that installing ffmpeg-python for the first time don't work, but reinstalling it for the second time works.
