Hello,

I want to download some videos and want to have mp3. I read, that JD2 does not download and convert directly to mp3.

No problem so I would like to download mp4 and convert it with any video converter. But JD2 tells me "FFmpeg fehlt!" - "Um Audio und Video-Streams zusammenzufügen, wird die Drittanbieter-Software FFmpeg benötigt..."

So I clicked, "FFmpeg jetzt installieren", and JD2 tells me that I'm already using the latest Version (I think from JD2), Text: "Du nutzt bereits die aktuellste Version."

So I read in an other post, that automatically install would not work, ok. So I downloaded Windows Build from FFmpeg und saved it to C:\ffmpeg and added my PATH User/System Variable with folder "C:\ffmpeg\bin", but JD2 tells me, I haven't installed it. :(
?

Same Problem here :(
I installed the Jdownloader 2 on my fresh Win10 1803 installation.
When you start the FFmpeg update, Jdownloader is seraching for a regular programm update not for FFmpeg

I unpacked FFmpeg under
C:\Users"my name"\AppData\Local\JDownloader 2.0\tools\windows
also under
C:\Users"my name"\AppData\Local\JDownloader 2.0\tools\
but it does not work

Download the newest version of FFmpeg (actually 4.0)
Go to Profile Settings
search for " full"

insert your path to the ffmpeg.exe @( FFmpegSetup: Binary Path )
c:\...\...\ffmpeg.exe

insert the your path to the ffprobe.exe @( FFmpegSetup: Binary Path Probe )
c:\...\...\ffprobe.exe

Than restart jdownloader

Sorry but to me it's not quite clear what "Profile Settings" is, and where it shoould be located.

Ah found it in Jdownloader settings interface under "Advanced settings", thanks

@squadjot: Settings->Advanced Settings->search for ffprobe and ffmpeg
You can set binary path via rightclick context menu
but normally you should not have to deal with this. What is the problem? What OS are you using?

Win 10, When downloading some "materials"..program tells me i need ffmpeg.. i click the "update" button.. but then shortly after i just get.. "already using latest version".. and no ffmpeg installed. -- something like that.

Anyways. i fixed it manually, thanks
