Research direction
The report names the Java client dependency and AppiumDriver setup, but no source file, test, or entry point. Reproduce the Windows session with ffmpeg installed and PATH configured, then trace the ffmpeg lookup; done when the reported setup no longer produces the error and the behavior is covered by a verified fix or documented limitation.
