Cannot get ffmpeg to work after installing from homebrew

Question

I installed ffmpeg through homebrew but when I try to run it, even just typing in ffmpeg I get the following error message:

dyld: Library not loaded         


        

Answer 1

I got it to work by running brew search liblzma which told me lzma is now part of the xz formula.

So then I ran brew install xz and tried running ffmpeg again and it works now!

Answer 2

What Worked Today

I'm running OSX Mojave 10.14.5 and got the dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/liblzma.5.dylib complaint.

• brew install xz did not work
• Reinstall worked like a boss

brew uninstall --force ffmpeg && brew install ffmpeg
