GDownloader not detecting ffmpeg on mac

[dcocharro]

I have ffmpeg installed through homebrew, and for that reason, GDownloader did not find it because I suspect it is likely looking in the "old" Mac location (/usr/local/bin) instead of the "new" Homebrew location (/opt/homebrew/bin).
I didn't find a setting to set manually the path to ffmpeg in the config.json file.

As a workaround, it is possible to create a symlink shortcut in the terminal to trick the app:

First check your ffmpeg location:
which ffmpeg

Then run this command in your terminal with proper location:
sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

Hi, thank you for reporting this. I believe the issue has been addressed in v1.5.17.

Also, the option to manually specify the ffmpeg location is probably something that should be added as well, I'll tackle this on a future update, so for now I'll leave this issue open and tag it as enhancement.
Cheers
