error : "Unable to load FFProbe"

Please help, I am getting: error: "Unable to load FFProbe"

I have downloaded ffmpeg.exe ffPlay.exe ffProbe.exe

I have added to environment files, I have tested, all working but when I try and upload an MP$ file, I get the error Unable to load FFProbe

here is teh bottom of my .ENV file:

FFMPEG_BINARIES=C:\PATH_programs\ffmpeg
FFPROBE_BINARIES=C:\PATH_programs\ffprobe

here is my laravel-ffmpeg.php file:

<?php

return [
    // 'ffmpeg' => [
    //     'binaries' => env('FFMPEG_BINARIES', 'C:\PATH_programs\ffmpeg'),

    //     'threads' => 12,   // set to false to disable the default 'threads' filter
    // ],

    // 'ffprobe' => [
    //     'binaries' => env('FFPROBE_BINARIES', 'C:\PATH_programs\ffprobe'),
    // ],

    'ffmpeg.binaries' => env('FFMPEG_BINARY', 'C:\PATH_programs\ffmpeg'),
    'ffprobe.binaries' => env('FFPROBE_BINARY', 'C:\PATH_programs\ffprobe'),

    'timeout' => 3600,

    'log_channel' => env('LOG_CHANNEL', 'stack'),   // set to false to completely disable logging

    'temporary_files_root' => env('FFMPEG_TEMPORARY_FILES_ROOT', sys_get_temp_dir()),

    'temporary_files_encrypted_hls' => env('FFMPEG_TEMPORARY_ENCRYPTED_HLS', env('FFMPEG_TEMPORARY_FILES_ROOT', sys_get_temp_dir())),
];

Please help, why is there always a problem with everything?

The easiest would be to add the directory to the path in windows.

There is always issues with the difference between / and \ on windows and linux systems.

ok it's connected but now I get: error : "Unable to probe "

would it be something wrong with my php code?

public function updateVideo($model, $request, $path, $methodType)
    {
        $ffmpeg = FFMpeg::create();  // Create an instance of FFMpeg
        
        $video = $ffmpeg->open($request->file('mp4_url'));
        $frame = $video->getFrameFromString('00:00:03.00');
        $image = ImageIntervention::make($frame);
        if (!empty($model->mp4_url)) {
            $currentVideo = public_path() . $path . $model->mp4_url;

            if (file_exists($currentVideo)) {
                unlink($currentVideo);
            }
        }

        $file = $request->file('mp4_url');
        $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();

        

        $name = time() . '.' . $extension;
        $video->save(public_path() . $path . $name);
        $image->save(public_path() . $path . $name);

        if ($methodType === 'store') {
            $model->user_id = $request->get('user_id');
        }

        $model->mp4_url = $name;

        $model->save();
    }

@boyjarv Follow the stack trace? Which line exactly does the error stem from?
