No module named 'ffmpeg'

[CozBoogie]

Long time user of VSMP and recently I decided to do a clean install after having to get a new Waveshare screen (my ribbon tore on my previous screen).

After following the automated install I'm thrown this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/cozboogie/SlowMovie/slowmovie.py", line 20, in
import ffmpeg
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ffmpeg'

did some searching and googling and attempt proposed fixes....but zero luck.

thoughts?

Thanks and cheers

Can you give a little more information on how you installed and ran the script? For ffmpeg specifically there is both an OS package and a Python package that need to be installed for it to work. The script is also configured to run under a Python virtual environment as well. Without that activated it wouldn't find the installed libraries.

Hey Rob,
Installed from the homepage and followed all the prompts.

Ran this as normal:
python3 slowmovie.py

I'll look at installing the OS and python package to see if that remedies the error.

Thanks

If you are installing from the instructions did you activate the virtual environment? Running python3 outside of the virtual environment won't find the packages. Did pip3 freeze list the required packages?
