Unable to load FFProbe driver for FFmpeg


Just in case anyone is experiencing similar issue on windows. The library removes the backslashes

(D:\binaries\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe)

so you should use forward slashes instead

(D:/binaries/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.exe)

this will work on widows. Hope this helps


You need to install FFmpeg on your machine (if you are working on PC) else you need to install FFmpeg on your serve

Installing FFmpeg in Ubuntu:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media  sudo apt-get update  sudo apt-get install ffmpeg  sudo apt-get install frei0r-plugins  

Can't put complete details for other machine here please follow the given linkHere is the link which explains how to do this.

Just in case anyone is seeing this PHP error on their web server and have installed FFMPEG using composer, I was getting the same error and here is how I solved it.

For some reason (unknown to me) the FFMPEG binaries did not arrive at /usr/local/bin

I checked this is the terminal by running: ls /usr/local/binNo ffmpeg or ffprobe were present!

Here's a link to the binaries. Download the ones you need. If unclear if your server is 32-bit or 64-bit, run uname -m If your system is running 32-bit (i686 or i386) or 64-bit(x86_64).

I just downloaded the ffmpeg and ffprobe binaries to my local machine and then uploaded them via FTP to public_html/ but you can obviously put them anywhere.

Next, in the terminal, move the binaries to the right spot:

sudo cp -f public_html/ffmpeg /usr/local/bin

sudo cp -f public_html/ffprobe /usr/local/bin

Make sure they have arrivedls /usr/local/binYou should see both, and they will appear as white text.

After that you need to make both binaries executable.In the terminal:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ffprobe

You're all set!
