what is the path for ffmpeg and ffprobe?

I defined these (found on discord) but still getting error "Error: Cannot find ffprobe" FFMPEG_PATH=/bin/ffmpeg FFPROBE_PATH=/bin/ffprobe

12046d60-e544-4d2d-8773-5cbb3095fe56 in fact, it worked previously without any special actions from my side. I was able to submit videos and create screenshots. I use import ffmpeg from 'fluent-ffmpeg'

have you installed ffmpeg / ffprobe?

I discovered that I need to create nixpacks.toml [phases.setup] nixPkgs = ["...", "ffmpeg"] so now it works again. it definitely worked before without this additional setup

nixpacks wouldn’t have installed ffmpeg itself, so im not sure what was going on, but happy you found a solution
