I've been toying around with MoviePy, and recently switched a project to a new computer at home to continue messing around with it. However, I tried running what I had previously written (which ran perfectly fine on the other computer) and I get this:
OSError: MoviePy error: failed to read the first frame of video file ./Gameplay/minecraft-gameplay2.mp4. That might mean that the file is corrupted. That may also mean that you are using a deprecated version of FFMPEG. On Ubuntu/Debian for instance the version in the repos is deprecated. Please update to a recent version from the website.After reading the error, I did as it instructed, and updated my FFmpeg:

So I looked at what version my moviepy was using, and it was still 4.X. I read somewhere that your FFmpeg version is determined on the first use, which made sense, so I uninstalled and reinstalled, to get the same error.
I am honestly lost at this point, as I have the newest version of FFmpeg, but I still get this from moviepy:
>>> import moviepy>>> print(moviepy.config.FFPMEG_BINARY)ffmpeg : /home/<username>/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/imageio_ffmpeg/binaries/ffmpeg-linux64-v4.2.2Any Ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
(Note: I'm using Crostini which I believe is using an Ubuntu or Ubuntu-Like shell)
Thanks :)
