I have installed ffmpeg server side with all the dependencies, updated it. And then installed PHP-FFMpeg with Composer. Tested that ffmpeg is instaled with a ssh conexion.

But when I try to convert a video file with a php script it throws me a very long error. PHP Code:
<?PHP
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/vendors/install/vendor/autoload.php");
$ffmpeg = FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create();
$video = $ffmpeg->open($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/resources/uploads/96048/ffd3c5e349fa5745159deef163b5c253.wmv');
$video
->filters()
->synchronize();
$format = new FFMpeg\Format\Video\X264();
$format->on('progress', function ($video, $format, $percentage) {
echo "$percentage % transcoded";});
$video
->save($format,$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/resources/uploads/96048/ffd3c5e349fa5745159deef163b5c253.mp4');
?>
Error displayed:

Then I have took the basic code displayed upwards and ran it directly through ssh.

And this is the response I get:

Unknown encoder 'libx264'
My question is what to do next? I have wasted 3 days to make this work and this is the furthest I have come. How can I test if libx264 is installed corectly? And if it is not installed corectly how cand I reinstal or make it work?
After a few modifications
I have used an already installed ffmpeg, and removed a few commands (that were by default the same) and this time I used only the command line.
