ffmpy.FFExecutableNotFoundError: Executable 'ffprobe' not found

[nicholassun99]

I am getting the error above after I run the generate button but the video still appears in the output.

Steps to reproduce:
Use default setting

Things I tried:

1. Did a pip install ffmpeg in cmd inside my %USERPROFILE% environment
2. Did a pip install ffprobe inside the venv environment in automatic111
3. Downloaded the 7zip full build of ffmpeg from https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ and then moving the ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay exe files into the venv folder

I am able to see the version of ffmpeg when I do ffmpeg -version in cmd so I am not sure what the problem is exactly. Hoping that someone has the solution to this.

Here is a snippet of the error:

Hi @h0x91b-wix,
After investigating the issue, I believe the problem is associated with the Gradio playable-video component. It seems that the component is having difficulty converting the video, which is causing the issue. To resolve this, I will change the playable-video component to the video component. I believe that this will fix the problem.
Thank you.

Could you please check if the problem has been solved or let us know if it persists? #6

I downloaded after this merge and I have the same problem. It is making and saving the frames but not making and showing a video.

I believe you have encountered a different error.
To potentially resolve the issue, you can try running the command
pip install "imageio[ffmpeg]"

[jk212h20]

This is what I get from pip install "imageio[ffmpeg]"

PS C:\Users\Art> pip install "imageio[ffmpeg]"
Requirement already satisfied: imageio[ffmpeg] in c:\python311\lib\site-packages (2.27.0)
Requirement already satisfied: numpy in c:\python311\lib\site-packages (from imageio[ffmpeg]) (1.24.2)

I have the same problem and found some manual workaround; if not solution.
My setup is Windows, SD is latest version (22bcc or so)

ffrpobe is still not found.
I "pip install ffprobe", did not help.
The pyffprobe is only a wrapper for some ffprope.exe, which has to be

• available on disk
• and in ENV:PATH

So, I downloaded from github latest ffmpeg release (https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases) and
upacked somewhere.
Now, you need to extend the PATH variable in the context where you SD-Webui is started; either manually
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\YOU\Downloads\ffmpeg-master-latest-win64-gpl\bin

Pros put that in their web-user.bat...

@v8hid You could solve that more elegant by provide a Settings-property "PathToFFMPEG" and set OS.Path accordingly

Great job, @GeorgLegato! I appreciate you for pointing out the problem and suggesting a solution. I have taken your advice and created a new issue(#9) to fix the problem. Thank you very much for your contribution!
