No such file or directory - the ffprobe binary could not be found error

I am using carrierwave-video gem uploading videos through carrierwave and it's not working.

video_uploader.rb

class VideoUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  include CarrierWave::Video
  storage :file
  def store_dir
    "uploads/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/#{model.id}"
  end
end

video.rb

class Video < ActiveRecord::Base
  mount_uploader :file, VideoUploader

  def set_success(format, opts)
    self.success = true
  end
end

The error I am getting is:

No such file or directory - the ffprobe binary could not be found in /home/administrator/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.0/bin:/home/administrator/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.0@global/bin:/usr/share/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.0/bin:/usr/share/rvm/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
Solution

  • This shell script made my day!

    As Bart said:

    You need to install ffmpeg. For OS X that would be brew install ffmpeg. See here for details: https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
