[Bug] AttributeError: module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute '_run'

• I didn’t find a similar issue already open.
• I read the documentation (README AND Wiki)
• I have installed FFMpeg
• My problem is related to Spleeter only, not a derivative product (such as Webapplication, or GUI provided by others)

Description

I tried to use Spleeter on linux KDE yet still, it shows this error when I enter the following: spleeter separate -p "/home/mohammedmehditber/Documents/base_config.json" -o "output_mwf" -f {filename}-{instrument}.{codec} -d 7200 -c mp3 -b 320k --mwf -B tensorflow "/media/mohammedmehditber/0E2E5DD12E5DB287/Users/Windo/Music/Muhammad Al Muqit/Anasheeds, Vol. 4/1-04 Graduation.mp3"

Output

spleeter separate -p "/home/mohammedmehditber/Documents/base_config.json" -o "output_mwf" -f {filename}-{instrument}.{codec} -d 7200 -c mp3 -b 320k --mwf -B tensorflow "/media/mohammedmehditber/0E2E5DD12E5DB287/Users/Windo/Music/Muhammad Al Muqit/Anasheeds, Vol. 4/1-04 Graduation.mp3"

Maybe you already solved it but I just ran sudo pkcon install ffmpeg in my terminal and then pip3 install ffmpeg in my project venv. This gave me AttributeError: module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute '_run' Which I found the solution to in this Solution:

pip install ffmpeg-python instead of pip install ffmpeg

But wait. There’s more.

I’m guessing this happens if you’ve installed both, ffmpeg and ffmpeg-python. uninstall both with: pip uninstall ffmpeg pip uninstall ffmpeg-python and install ffmpeg-python again with : pip install ffmpeg-python This solved the problem in my system 😃

Now I have a working spleeter lib in my project.

Hi @MohammedMehdiTBER, I cannot reproduce your issue. The ffmpeg module that is imported by spleeter seems not to be the right one (as the correct one is supposed to have both a probe and a _run attribute). The right one, is the one installed by the ffmpeg-python package (which is a dependency of spleeter that should have been installed by pip). You should check that it was correctly installed by pip and is not overriden by another package (installed by pip or conda or a local one).
