Do you have the ffmpeg and ffprobe binaries installed on the server? The PHP-FFMpeg library that this module integrate with Drupal requires them. If they are installed but not automatically found, you can set the path the the binaries in the configuration screen for the module.

Nope. That would be the problem I guess. Thank-you.

My hosting provider (Combell) does not allow installing ffmpeg package.
So I had to figure out how to make this module work without installing ffmpeg package on the server.

I ran into this error (Unable to load FFProbe) untill I figured out all steps necessary to fix this.
So I write them here for future reference in case I ran into this again in another project.

At the time of writing, I needed to add these patches in my composer.json:

            "drupal/php_ffmpeg": {
                "#3256578": "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2022-06-24/symfony-drupal-cache-adapter.patch"
            },
            "alchemy/binary-driver": {
                "Deprecated Function Alchemy Error Appears in Multiple locations": "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2023-03-15/3340962-deprecated-function-alchemy.patch"
            }

I downloaded a static build from here.
I extracted the tar file in a directory one level above my webroot (ffmpeg-6.0-i686-static).
I set the binaries like this in /admin/config/development/php-ffmpeg:
ffmpeg binary: ../ffmpeg-6.0-i686-static/ffmpeg
ffprobe binary: ../ffmpeg-6.0-i686-static/ffprobe

Then still error, what I needed to do was setting permissions:

chmod 555 ffmpeg-6.0-i686-static
chmod u+x ffmpeg-6.0-i686-static/ffmpeg
chmod u+x ffmpeg-6.0-i686-static/ffprobe
