Hello,

Had the same error. No fix, but workaround:

$ wget https://github.com/imageio/imageio-binaries/raw/master/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.linux64
$ mv ffmpeg.linux64 ~/.imageio/ffmpeg/

Had the same error. No fix, but workaround:

$ wget https://github.com/imageio/imageio-binaries/raw/master/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.linux64
$ mv ffmpeg.linux64 ~/.imageio/ffmpeg/

I had to tune it for Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS:
$ wget https://github.com/imageio/imageio-binaries/raw/master/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.linux64
$ mv ffmpeg.linux64 ~/.imageio/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-linux64-v3.3.1

We can close this issue. Solution typed by @noraisk works great.
