can you try to run command -v ffmpeg? it is what the script does internally to figure out if an ffmpeg executable exists, and as per this stackoverflow answer, it should be the more or less standard way to do it. what terminal are you using?

if you still can't get it to work, just comment those lines out of the script

I can confirm that this applies to other linux distributions rather than ChomeOS

I actually get a similar/the same error using WSL. Though it displays the "/usr/bin/ffmpeg/" before exiting.

Maybe the script could be re-written to run ffprobe --version and see if it returns something or if it errors out ?
