What is the path to ffmpeg?

1

I’m trying to set up a Node.js server that uses Node Media Server to handle RTMP streams coming from OBS. My goal is to embed FFmpeg within my Node.js application so that I can process the video streams effectively.

However, I’m running into issues when trying to ensure that FFmpeg is correctly executed and accessible by the server. The application works perfectly on my local machine where I can run FFmpeg commands. However, when I deploy it on Render, I encounter issues with FFmpeg not being recognized.

We only permit HTTP requests to Render services, which might be a total blocker if you want to use RTMP streams.

As for your specific question, assuming you’re using a paid instance type, using the ‘shell’ tab in the dashboard you can execute which ffmpeg to determine the absolute path
