In case anyone else is having the same struggle as me:

I had trouble figuring out how to get this running because there's no "installer" for ffmpeg on windows - it's just a zip of files...
But if ffmpeg isn't "installed" on your system I found that you can tell the node libraries where to find by setting the FFMPEG_PATH environment variable before starting node:

SET FFMPEG_PATH=C:\whatever\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe
npm run start

Thanks for the info. I added a note to the README about it.

SET is the windows cmd command to set environment variables, so yeah, it won't work in bash.
Are you running bash on Windows, or Linux? Either way I think the equivalent there is export??
