Checklist

• I have read the FAQ
• I tried the same with command line ffmpeg and it works correctly (hint: if the problem also happens this way, this is an ffmpeg problem and you're not reporting it to the right place)
• I have included full stderr/stdout output from ffmpeg

[pikitgb]

Hi guys getting this error in the AWS Lambda too, maybe is related to the fact that the node library can't find ffmpeg installed on the computer ?

also the path in my .bash_profile is correct:

please let me know if anything else is missing

For me this error was because of using wrong static build of Ffmpeg on Lambda, I had to use x86 instead of arm64 but you can also configure your lambda which architecture to use, for fluent-ffmpeg ffprobe is also required so don't forget to put it beside your ffmpeg.
