title: Ubuntu - Laravel 5.6 - Unable to load ffprobe (using php-ffmpeg)
body: <p>I have ffmpeg and ffprobe installed on my ubuntu system (can access it via command line)</p>
  
  <p>ffmpeg and ffprobe are located in /usr/bin/</p>
  
  <p>I installed these via composer</p>
  
  <pre><code>"php-ffmpeg/binary-driver": "dev-master",
  "php-ffmpeg/php-ffmpeg": "^0.11.1",
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've done: 
      use FFMpeg;</p>
  
  <pre><code>// in index() function//
  
  $ffmpeg = FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create([
      'ffmpeg.binaries'  =&gt; '/usr/bin/ffmpeg',
      'ffprobe.binaries' =&gt; '/usr/bin/ffprobe'
  ]);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and still get </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>FFMpeg \ Exception \ ExecutableNotFoundException</p>
    
    <p>Unable to load FFProbe</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have looked at about 30 forums for this and no luck, some direction would be helpful</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong>
  I tried <code>chmod +x /usr/bin/ffprobe</code></p>
  
  <p>Then restarted, did nothing. </p>
  
  <p>I then tried: </p>
  
  <p><code>sudo chgrp www-data /usr/bin/ffprobe
  sudo chmod g+x      /usr/bin/ffprobe</code></p>
  
  <p>Then restarted, did nothing.</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong>
  I forgot to mention that I am running php-fpm + nginx in docker.I added pbmedia wrapper for php-ffmpeg and If I run the laravel project without docker (php artisan serve) it works fine. </p>
  
  <p>The issue now is that I need to reference the /usr/bin/ffprobe directory from within docker</p>
