Make sure you have the latest version for youtube-dl:
sudo youtube-dl -U
After that you can solve this problem by installing the missing ffmpeg.
Ubuntu and debian:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
macOS:
brew install ffmpeg
Windows:
choco install ffmpeg
» pip install ffprobe

I faced the same issue, but it seems that i fixed it with uploading ffmpeg.exe file directly to Scripts (C:\Users\Sergey Khoteev\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\venv\Scripts).
Roadmap is following:
- Download original ffmpeg.exe file from https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/. I've dowloaded "ffmpeg-git-full.7z"
- Put to together with youtube-dl.exe it's in eg python37\Scripts folder.
Instaling ffmpeg from PyCharm package manager doesn't help, and idk why(.
Check the Path environment variable. It should contain an entry for the folder that ffprobe and ffmpeg are in.
EDIT: My bad, check this Reddit thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/gqhj14/comment/frsq2u3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
It seems you might have to install the command-line tool.
» npm install @ffprobe-installer/ffprobe
Does anybody know how to setup ffprobe and how to specify a path(folder) where i want to download music or videos?I once did in e: but i forgot how to do it so help me pls

http://ffmpeg.org/download.html says that there are 2 PPAs.
This one provides static binaries:
https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/trusty-media
And this one dynamically built ones:
https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ubuntu/ffmpeg
There is a statically compiled version of ffmpeg (https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-linux), it's a portable version :-D
You can download the static builds from http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg
Once downloaded, you can just unpack the .tar.xz file to /opt/ffmpeg for example and make a symlink to /opt/.../ffmpeg executable file and enjoy your ffmpeg :-)
Hello!
I am writing a java application that uses ffmpeg. I noticed that in order to get the length of an audiofile, I could use ffprobe. Unfortunately, I cant seem to make it work.
I want to get around installing ffmpeg at any cost, because i want to distribute the final program without requiring an installer.
What I do for my ffmpeg commands is:
path/to/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.exe -arg arg output.wav
but when I use:
path/to/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.exe ffprobe -arg arg
it does not work.
Thank you in advance!
