Moviepy: problem after setup with imageio package
When i tried to run the tutorial
an NeedDownLoadError occur.
Then i have to run the following command on python :
"imageio.plugins.ffmpeg.download()"
to download the ffmpeg.win32.exe.

I'm not sure I understand.. Did you enter imageio.plugins.ffmpeg.download() into python?

From what I understand Moviepy used to work "out of the box" but now, due to a change in imageio, we should check for ffmpeg and run imageio.plugins.ffmpeg.download() if ffmpeg is not on the machine (that would be done once per machine).

So i can try to add this command " imageio.plugins.ffmpeg.download() " in the setup file, so
the user doesnt need to run it after the installation ?
By the way im a student in a university of athens, and my project is to contibute in an open source project and i chose moviepy.
thank you
