yeah, honestly idk what i have to do. i read it but...the only times i did something with terminal was with youtube guides😅 i tried what daichi linked but its not working, and the second thing yeah... as i already wrote i dont get what i have to do

It might be the easiest to try the terminal way though Try opening a terminal, and then type

which ffprobe

which ffprobe

and press enter. Afterwards, type

which ffmpeg

which ffmpeg

and press enter again. Then take a screenshot of the window, and paste it here

For example, for me it looks like this:

Okay, it seems like you need to install ffmpeg Open the terminal again, and type brew install ffmpeg. Send the me the screenshot as well.

there was a lot so i just took a screenshot of the end

extended-salmonOP•10mo ago

should i also do that with ffprobe?

flat-fuchsia•10mo ago

ffmpeg installs ffprobe as well So you already have both Lastly, you insert these lines. Paste in one line at a time and press enter:

rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/MigakuShared/ffmpeg
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/MigakuShared/ffprobe
ln -s $(which ffmpeg) ~/Library/Application\ Support/MigakuShared/ffmpeg
ln -s $(which ffprobe) ~/Library/Application\ Support/MigakuShared/ffprobe

rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/MigakuShared/ffmpeg
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/MigakuShared/ffprobe
ln -s $(which ffmpeg) ~/Library/Application\ Support/MigakuShared/ffmpeg
ln -s $(which ffprobe) ~/Library/Application\ Support/MigakuShared/ffprobe
