using Whisper on aws (Amazon Linux 2)

[omermyspitch]

I tried to use whisper on AWS ( Deep Learning AMI GPU PyTorch 1.13.1 (Amazon Linux 2))
the requirements.txt file :
numpy tqdm transformers>=4.19.0 ffmpeg-python==0.2.0 pyaudio SpeechRecognition pydub git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113 torch flask flask_cors

I get the error :
ffmpeg.input(file, threads=0)
AttributeError: module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute 'input'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

any idea? I tired to uninstall ffmpeg and ffmpeg-python and to pip install with no luck

I am getting the same error. Haven't found a fix.

ffmpeg-python is a package that provides bindings for ffmpeg but doesn't contain the ffmpeg binary itself. You need to make sure ffmpeg is installed on the machine before it will work. Depending on what OS you're running there are several ways you can install ffmpeg.
