No module named 'ffmpeg'

I kept getting an error when running auto-subtitle:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ffmpeg'

This seems to be caused by the fact that openai-whisper dropped the upstream dependency of ffmpeg-python in this change openai/whisper@8035e9e. Since this module depends on it, it should add the dependency to the requirements.txt and setup.py.

For now, you can do a workaround by running:

pip install ffmpeg-python

[whittinghamj]

pip install ffmpeg-python

that will fix your issue.
