MacOS unable to locate ffmpeg

[Merethiel]

I'm trying to run concat_mac but it keeps giving me the error

Could not find ffmpeg, make sure to have ffmpeg avaliable on your system.

But I do have it, I placed ffmpeg in the same directory as concat_mac . Here's the ls listing.

bin % ls
concat_mac	ffmpeg		ffplay		ffprobe

Where is concat looking for ffmpeg?

I'm on MacOS 10.15.5

Is ffmpeg executable? Whats the output of ffmpeg -version?

Yes ffmpeg is executable. The output of ffmpeg -version is

Do I have the wrong version?

Is concat by any chance attempting to execute ffmpeg instead of ./ffmpeg ?

[ArneVogel]

Yes its trying to execute ffmpeg on mac. But nobody else has problems with that. Honestly I have no idea what causing this.

But nobody else has problems with that Are you sure? Have you tested this on Mac to verify it does in fact work?

[ArneVogel]

I have seen it work on mac before, but no I dont have a mac to test it on. But I doubt anything mayor would have changed on mac since I saw it working.
