Problem importing imageio_ffmpeg in frozen applications

See original GitHub issue

I see this issue with imageio 2.16.1 I don’t see this issue with imageio 2.10.3

This might have been caused by https://github.com/imageio/imageio/commit/bdbe699bbcda4223b0b6bd4d7474f84bbe34af09 (which appeared first in imageio 2.11).

For some reason imageio cannot import the imageio_ffmpeg module in frozen applications anymore.

This is the imageio-related traceback that I get:

  File "imageio\core\functions.py", line 98, in get_reader
  File "imageio\core\imopen.py", line 332, in imopen
ValueError: Could not find a backend to open `C:\Users\Paul\Downloads\fmt-tdms_fl-image-bright_2017\M4_0.040000ul_s_imaq.avi`` with iomode `r?`.
Based on the extension, the following plugins might add capable backends:
  FFMPEG:  pip install imageio[ffmpeg]

I checked an imageio_ffmpeg got bundled into the application.

I created the PR for PyInstaller. It might make sense to update the docs section on freezing with a note that there are hooks for imageio (including plugins) and imageio_ffmpeg and everything that does not require any additional binaries should just work with pyinstaller-hooks-contrib version greater than 2022.2.

OK. I can do that. The PR would be with Pyinstaller. I will let you know here. Please keep this open in the meantime.
