ERROR: Postprocessing: ffprobe and ffmpeg not found

Short Course Q&A LangChain: Chat with Your Data
1

Hi,
I am coursing the short course LangChain Chat with Your Data

I am trying running my own local jupyter and it has worked fine, I have overcame every error I have encounter but this one has proven very complicated for me:

"ERROR: Postprocessing: ffprobe and ffmpeg not found. Please install or provide the path using --ffmpeg-location "

I have found solutions for when using yt-dlp or youtube-dl directly in linux or windows and all have to do with DLL and installing ffprobe and ffmpeg.

I have sucessfuly installed ffprobe and ffmpeg on my env in anaconda.

It seems this error is produced when using this part of the code:

“loader = GenericLoader(
YoutubeAudioLoader([url],save_dir),
OpenAIWhisperParser()
)”

And has to do something while using “YoutubeAudioLoader([url],save_dir)”, or more probably “OpenAIWhisperParser()”

According with what I have found in Internet, solution would be: " provide the path using --ffmpeg-location" but I do not know how to apply this environment in one of the methods mentioned above.

I hope community can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.

ADDITIONALLY:

When running jupyter notebook provided with the course in DeepLearining.AI another different error is displayed.

Code run fine until it reaches this part: “Transcribing part 1”

Then this error comes out:
"APIError: HTTP code 504 from API (

504 Gateway Time-out

504 Gateway Time-out

)"

It will be nice if someone in the community help me with it too.

Thanks

Mario

Please check this post / solution, where you will find response for first part of my query:

The second part seems to be with access to OpenAI API which was temporarily unavailable. It ran fine in my own local jupiter notebook.

Mario
