I’m trying to deploy an app that transcribes video’s, i tested the app locally and everything works perfectly fine and smooth without errors. However when I deploy the exact same scripts online, I get this error for some reason, everything is the same so I don’t understand why it doesn’t work.
the required packages are installed*

the error message when i try to deploy the app:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘ffmpeg’
the video is actually there, with the correct name (which i verified), but still doesnt work for some reason, please help.

Did you set up the dependencies correctly to install ffmpeg? @Franky1 has an example here

If you are still having problems, it would help to a link to your GitHub to understand your setup.

Sorry for the late reply, thank you for the help.
It was solved in a short time, I just had to install ffmpeg on the host machine. (before that it was only installed on my machine).
I could easily install it by creating a file called “packages.txt” on the host machine, and include ffmpeg in the packages.txt file.
