"shipping with ffmpeg binary" , where is the best place to put the ffmpeg binary , and how i can load it ?

[nyo16]

I tried to put it in the /lib and to load it as

var proc = new ffmpeg({ source: filename, timeout: 17200 })
.setFfmpegPath("./lib/ffmpeg")
but iam getting
'"file has been converted succesfully"
"Error: error while preparing: dimension -> Error: could not determine width of source video, aborting execution padding -> undefined"

if i remove it and use the ffmpeg its working.
Any ideas or direction to solve that ?

ps i download the binary from here http://ffmpegmac.net/

Did you get it to work?

Now you should update your version. Just pushed to npm

I just put the ffmpeg binary to the root of my project with 755 permition and change the .setFfmpegPath("./lib/ffmpeg") to .setFfmpegPath("./ffmpeg") and its working like charm.

I never got that function to work but looking at the source found a workaround by setting a proc property directly as follows:

proc.ffmpegPath = './bin/ffmpeg';

Hope this helps
