Installing FFmpeg
I'm trying to make a discord music bot and have already created the code but I'm using FFmpeg which I don't know how to download on repl. I've tried importing it but I just keep getting the error ERROR: ffprobe/avprobe and ffmpeg/avconv not found. Please install one.
Hey, I don't know if you're still looking for a way, seeing as though it's been 12 months, but I recently made a Discord music bot using FFmpeg and it worked, so they must have added support back for it.
@Xephire How did you add add it into your program?
Actually, you can use FFmpeg, just type it into the shell (at least for me)

really? @CrazyVideoGamez
@hedgieEL yup, it works. When for example when I went on my HTML/JS/CSS videos repository, I had ffmpeg automatically installed, and ffprobe too.
@hedgieEL Maybe it's just me, and somehow I got a special repl idk
Edit: nvm, it isn't me, I went to another repl and it was there
@CrazyVideoGamez Yeah, it still exists, you just can't use it with your programming language.
@Vandesm14 I've tried using python, it it works fine. I have a python file:
import os
video = 'video.mp4'
os.system(f'ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 "{video}"')It gives me a duration.
@CrazyVideoGamez Well then, I guess they added it back.
@Vandesm14 ok cool
@Vandesm14 is it still here?
@miras13 Not sure what you mean. I haven't tried using FFMpeg with Replit in forever so I don't know if it still works or not.
@Vandesm14 ok thanks a lot
@miras13 yup still here as of 2021 Jul 21
@CrazyVideoGamer Thx I'm gonna try
This is how:
1. go to package in your repl
2. type ffmpeg
3. question about the tick that you gave to Vandesm14
but maybe they stopped update it (edit: the newest ver is there. and all of the other packages works the same)
Currently, I think repl.it doesn't support this. Sorry :(
Repl.it does not support FFmpeg anymore. It was initially used for botting and spamming, so they removed the functionality.
@Vandesm14 Do you know any other tools for discord music bots?
@ArjunSS1 I'm pretty sure that they have completely prevented any form of discord music bot. I'll ask around to make sure I'm right.
@Vandesm14 what about avconv?
