Changing the FFmpeg used by Shinobi

Login to the terminal window of your Shinobi and navigate to the Shinobi folder. By default this is /home/Shinobi.

NOTE : You may have to become root or use "sudo" before each command. 

cd /home/Shinobi

Then run the ffbinaries installer. 

npm i ffbinaries

Then restart Shinobi. This command will also open the log stream so you can verify that FFbinaries is being utilized.
