“错误：未找到 FFMPEG”：简单的 Discord Bot 出错

Question

I'm using Windows (64-bit) with Node.js and npm installed. In my project file, I have run the following commands:

npm init
npm install discord.js --save
npm install ffmpeg --save

Now i just created the code for a basic bot here is the main code. I list here the important:

 if (message.content === '!play' && message.member.roles.has(message.guild.roles.find("name", config.role_name).id)) {
    if (!message.member.voiceChannel) return log("?");
       message.member.voiceChannel.join().then(function (connection){      
       });
 }

Then, in Discord, I say the following:

 [1517932146]  Musik bot loaded
    (node:35760) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 2): Error: FFMPEG not found

I have already tested the following:

• reinstallation of everything
• others of the require names etz
• simplify the code

So if you have any ideas then let me know.

Solution

npm i ffmpeg-binaries@3.2.2-3

Answer 1

You need to actually install ffmpeg, the ffmpeg module on NPM simply exports a wrapper API for ffmpeg's command-line interface.

You can download ffmpeg's binaries from the website or use a package manager (like apt on Ubuntu, brew on Mac or choco on Windows) which usually takes care of dropping the binaries into a directory that is present in the PATH .

Answer 2

As far as I can see, you never actually installed ffmpeg . Using the ffmpeg node module won't get you anywhere unless you install the binaries.

You can also use apt , brew or in your case choco which makes things go alot faster. Here is a guide on how to do it in windows.

Once it is installed you will be able to use many node modules such as opusscript and much more.
