# How can we use ffmpeg/ffprobe

Hello,

I'd like to read metadata of file using ffprobe but it seems that it is not in Vercel binary? Or named differently. I'm using Python through Flask API with ffmpeg-python package.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi, @rklf! Welcome to the community :smiley: 

I'm not too familiar with ffprobe but I did find some discussion with suggestions [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/nextjs/comments/15lkz8a/anyone_been_able_to_make_ffmpeg_work_on_vercel/?sort=confidence).

I've been on this post already, unfortunately no solution found. I already succeeded to make it work on Vercel using Javascript, so I know binary must installed somewhere in Vercel. Any idea?

Hello, I'm still struggling on this...I guess someone from Vercel could be able to answer?

Thanks :slight_smile:
