Ffmpeg-python: [Question] How can I tell ffmpeg-python to look for ffmpeg in a specific place?

[DinRigtigeFar]

Hi
Sorry for the noob question, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to specify where ffmpeg-python should look for ffmpeg.
I build a youtube downloader that can take intervals and I'm trying to use pyinstaller to create an app for my friend. When running the script it works like a charm, but after having used pyinstaller to bundle the script it fails because it can't find ffmpeg.
So how can I change that?

Thanks in advance

I found the solution after some sleep.
When running the program use: run(cmd="path_to_ffmpeg")

I hope this will help others who where also sleep deprived.

Can you explain your solution in detail? Thank you!

Sure:
Download ffmpeg binaries and put them in your program folder. Then point the run command to the binary in that folder:
/my/program/folder/with/ffmpeg
Then when doing your ffmpeg thing put this inside the run command:
run(cmd=‘/my/program/folder/with/ffmpeg’)

@DinRigtigeFar Hi there. Sorry for pinging you again, this is going to sound a bit stupid, but, could you please link to the binaries you're referring to? Do you mean the standard ffmpeg binaries from the ffmpeg project, or the ffmpeg-python binaries?

Which ones exactly? (as in, where are they downloaded from?)

The standard ffmpeg binaries from the ffmpeg project 😅😊
I got them from here.
