Important note

You need to install ffmpeg, ffplay, ffprobe, wget and rtmpdump to the following locations

$HOME/bin/ffmpeg

$HOME/bin/ffplay

$HOME/bin/ffprobe

/usr/local/bin/wget

/usr/local/bin/rtmpdump

If they are installed in a different location create a symbolic link to the location specified above

symbolic link syntax

ln -s /path/to/source /path/to/destination

for example to create a symbolic link for ffmpeg from /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg to $HOME/bin/ffmpeg

ln -s /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg ~/bin/ffmpeg

We have to specify the exact location of the binaries in the scripts to get them to work in El Capitan
