Hello.
Clearly you don't have PyQt5 for python3 installed.
How did you install the app and in which distribution?

You can install the python3-pyqt5 packet from the Software Center in Ubuntu.

thank you llias95 am attempting the aforementioned command at the moment, if that does not work will attempt from the Software Center.

Is there a way to determine if pyqt5 is installed on the system?

successfully ran ffmulticonverter. Testing it out now.

It is much better to install it with the package manager of your distribution (in this case through Software Center) for a lot of reasons. I strongly suggest you to do it this way. It's clearly not installed, that what you get this specific error message. You can also verify that by searching the package in Software Center / synaptic or running the appropriate command on a terminal.

Thank you llias95, as it seems to be working correctly now, after installing via the command above, is there any reason or need to install it through the Software Center?

from ff-multi-converter.

Everything installed from your package manager is updated "automatically" from your package manager along with all the other applications installed on your system. Now, in order to receive updates for this specific package, you have to do it using pip (another package manager for python software). Also your package manager deals with dependencies of other packages and stuff. You should always install something from your distribution's official package manager if there is this option.

Thank you llias95, will remember that! Good advice - will close this now and thank you for all your input and assistance!
