Ffmpeg-python: File not found.

Created on 29 Nov 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: kkroening/ffmpeg-python

I am really angry. Why?
I took me one and a half day to figure out why I get the "File not found" error.
A simple, short explanatory text in your "ReadMe.md" would have saved me that.
And certainly not just me.
As an aside, this would make this repository a lot more professional.

So please add something like this to your "Readme.md" (as meant for TWO YEARS see https://github.com/kkroening/ffmpeg-python/issues/153)

Note that ffmepg-Python wrapes the orignal ffmpeg.
Please make sure that the original ffmpeg is installed and
(in Windows) the system %Path% variable is set to the "...\ffmpeg\bin" directory.

Then you can install ffmepg-python via
pip install ffmpeg-python

10% agree. I thought this lib does not require ffmpeg.exe to be installed until I see your issue.

This took me so long to figure it out, and only thanks to this post.
