I believe there are some conda packages that include FFPMEG binaries otherwise I will give instructions on how to install binaries. Anyways, was not sure how xBlocks were installed/deployed in edx. I thought maybe xBlocks were special packages that were only loaded via the Studio or something like that, but I guess a edx admin just uses SSH/SCP to install things.
