    My hosting provider (Combell) does not allow installing ffmpeg package.
    So I had to figure out how to make this module work without installing ffmpeg package on the server.

    I ran into this error (Unable to load FFProbe) untill I figured out all steps necessary to fix this.
    So I write them here for future reference in case I ran into this again in another project.

    At the time of writing, I needed to add these patches in my composer.json:

                "drupal/php_ffmpeg": {
                "#3256578": "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2022-06-24/symfony-drupal-cache-adapter.patch"
            },
            "alchemy/binary-driver": {
                "Deprecated Function Alchemy Error Appears in Multiple locations": "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2023-03-15/3340962-deprecated-function-alchemy.patch"
            }

    I downloaded a static build from here.
    I extracted the tar file in a directory one level above my webroot (ffmpeg-6.0-i686-static).
    I set the binaries like this in /admin/config/development/php-ffmpeg:
    ffmpeg binary: ../ffmpeg-6.0-i686-static/ffmpeg
    ffprobe binary: ../ffmpeg-6.0-i686-static/ffprobe

    Then still error, what I needed to do was setting permissions:

    chmod 555 ffmpeg-6.0-i686-static
chmod u+x ffmpeg-6.0-i686-static/ffmpeg
chmod u+x ffmpeg-6.0-i686-static/ffprobe
