So I'm running the following code which is part of a bigger file. It keeps throwing up the below error even though I've installed ffmpeg and set it to the $PATH variable. I'm on a Mac running OSX El Capitan. This code uses the discord module for python 3.5.2.
author_channel = (message.author).voice_channel
voice = await media_bot.join_voice_channel(author_channel)
player = await voice.create_ytdl_player(video)
player.start()

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
