I am writing a kivy application using yt-dlp to download videos, and when I try to merge the two formats via `yt-dlp`, I get the following error:

`[WARNING] You have requested merging of multiple formats but ffmpeg is not installed. The formats won't be merged` (received from logcat)

My buildozer requirements:
`requirements = ffmpeg,python3,kivy,yt_dlp,python-for-android,pillow,kivymd`

how can I fix it?

Hi,
As mentionned in yt_dlp documentations for some operations (as merging) you need to install ffmepg binaries (not the python package)

Thanks for answer! But as I know ffmpeg installing from python4android recipes (its not Python lib). So how i can install ffmpeg and ffprobe in buildozer not as python lib?
