Description

Resolves #10

Awesome if this fixes it - should imageio (or bioio-imageio?) automatically install ffmpeg or is it a known thing that users have to install it themselves?

The direct error that users see is RuntimeError: No ffmpeg exe could be found. Install ffmpeg on your system, or set the IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE environment variable. I am ok with passing this to users instead of trying to do it for them since there is some difference between OS. So I think that imageio has already made a decision here. I think I slightly lean towards bioio-imageio reflecting imageios choice

Ahhh this makes sense. I think we should add a warning or raise an exception that explains the missing FFMPEG library

@evamaxfield I think the raised error is already fairly descriptive RuntimeError: No ffmpeg exe could be found. Install ffmpeg on your system, or set the IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE environment variable. Im going to merge this for now. Feel free to open a new issue if you think it needs more.

Ahhhh understood. Totally agree, misread prior messages.
