FFProbe error and config

[jerauf]

I'm trying to retrieve a frame of a video. I'm using this code in my controller.

use Pbmedia\LaravelFFMpeg\FFMpegFacade as FFMpeg;
And then to get the frame:

`
$media = FFMpeg::open('http://myvideo.com/video/100');
$frame = $media->getFrameFromString('00:00:13.37');

`

And my error is:

Unable to load FFProbe

I looked through the issues here and the config was mentioned but I'm not sure what the paths mean. Shouldn't they be pointing to the vendor folder?

'ffmpeg.binaries' => '/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg', 'ffprobe.binaries' => '/usr/local/bin/ffprobe',

They should point to your ffmpeg binaries. You could try finding them by using the ‘which’ command.

I have a similar issue this is my code
$media = FFMpeg::openUrl('http://localhost/videos/myvideo.mp4')

        ->getFrameFromSeconds(3)
        ->export()
        ->toDisk('public')
        ->save("thumbnails/thumb_{$date}_{$time}.png");

the error is
Unable to probe http://localhost/videos/myvideo.mp4

the link is correct the video plays perfectly when i insert http://localhost/videos/myvideo.mp4 in my browser
