pub async fn auto_download() -> Result<()>Expand description
Check if FFmpeg is installed, and if it’s not, download and unpack it. Automatically selects the correct binaries for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. The binaries will be placed in the same directory as the Rust executable.
If FFmpeg is already installed, the method exits early without downloading anything.
