How to make ffmpegthumbnailer work on heroku

I use "carrierwave" to upload and play video on website. It requires ffmpeg and ffmpegthumbnailer so I also set them up. Everything work well on local but then it fails when I try to repeat on Heroku.

The error messages are shown below:

File Failed to thumbnail with ffmpegthumbnailer. Check ffmpegthumbnailer install and verify video is not corrupt. Original error: No such file or directory - ffmpegthumbnailer

It seems the ffmpeg work well but the ffmpegthumbnailer have some problem because I got exactly the same error when I installed ffmpeg and forgot to install ffmpegthumbnailer on local. This problem on local was solved when I finished installed ffmpegthumbnailer.

I also ran command heroku run "ffmpegthumbnailer -version" to verify and I got bash: ffmpegthumbnailer: command not found

I have tried the solution shown in this link: akomic/heroku-buildpack-ffmpegthumbnailer but it doesn't work.

Is there any solution I can try? Thanks for your help in advance!
