Doesn't work on MacOS even though ffmpeg installed via HomeBrew and in PATH

[hsitz]

I'm having same issues as previous (closed) issue #52. ffmpeg is installed via homebrew, runs in any terminal, is specifically added to path. Still just get dialog saying ffmpeg must be added to path.

I found that the addon searches for ffmpeg only at this path. https://github.com/kamui-fin/yt-to-anki/blob/master/ytanki/utils.py#L37. However, the path for ffmpeg installed through homebrew can differ.

It's worth noting that the PATH environment variable for Anki will be different to the PATH variable that you see in a shell seeing as they are different processes. You can check the environment variables for Anki using ps -E <pid for anki>.

It's not the cleanest solution but for now you can add a symlink as follows:

ln -s /path/to/your/ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

In my case:
ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

and the addon can access ffmpeg
