[xelam93]

I had the same error. I added the ff applications (ffmpeg ffplay ffprobe) to my python Scripts folder ( example, C:\Users\ user \AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts) ran again and had no issues.

make sure you have added the ffmpeg executable to this path C:\Windows\System32

i have the same issue, but when check music folder on windows. the song is downloaded there with m4a format. that's fine i can still play it or convert it with another software.

@xelam93 @brayo-pip ffmpegdoes not necessarily need to be in one of those folders but one included in your PATH variable.

@Ezeqielle please ensure you're using the correct folder in your PATH variable and (depending on your OS) reload your shell / start a new session.

Are you guys still facing this issue when you already have ffmpeg added to PATH?

I am encountering the same error. I have tried ffmpeg.exe (and the other 2) in system32, have put the .exes in C:\portableapps\ffmpeg\bin and added \bin to the system PATH, and have installed ffmpeg through pip, all with no success. what worked was putting it in the scripts folder up in appdata

also, on Windows -f C:\ gives ffmpeg error, but not anywhere in my Users folder

I've added ffmpeg to System 32, added it to path in different ways and installed it using pip. Still getting this error.

Same issue. I have to use ffmpeg manually to convert files.
