This is because installing without a version number will install the latest version of pyav, which is not suitable for Python 3 6, so you need to compile it yourself, and you need to install ffmpeg for your own compilation, which leads to compilation errors because there is no ffmpeg.
1. Either install ffmpeg by yourself and compile it;
2. Or go straight to find the whl file of Python 3.6, direct installation;
I directly found the latest support for Python 3 on the mirror website Pyav of 6 is 8.0.3. Download and install:
Or add the version number of Python 3.6 in the PIP command:
pip install av==8.0.3
