Laravel无法加载FFProbe？

Question

I'm using the PHP-FFMpeg repository to do some video work inside my Laravel application, but I'm encountering some issues setting it up. Once I've installed the PHP-FFMpeg repo, I try and create an FFMpeg instance:

$ffmpeg = \FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create();

However, this does not work. In response, I get an ErrorException that simply states:

Unable to load FFProbe

This does not make sense to me, as when I run ffmpeg and ffprobe from my Mac's terminal, I can see they are installed. This is clearly a path/resolving issue, but I'm unsure how to fix it. Any ideas?

This is all hosted under a MAMP project, running on localhost.

Specifying paths to binaries should help:

$ffmpeg = \FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create([
    'ffmpeg.binaries'  => exec('which ffmpeg'),
    'ffprobe.binaries' => exec('which ffprobe')
]);
