Describe the bug

When starting app app updates ffmpeg if required. After update no request to restart app is presented. When downloading a video ffmpeg conversion of audio fails with an error indicating ffmpeg cannot be found.

Restarting the app fixes the issue.

  5. Restart app to fix

Expected behavior

Should either ask for a restart or dynamically update ffmpeg location.

Screenshots

Additional info (please complete the following information):

  • OS: [e.g. Windows 10] Linux
  • Application version [e.g. 1.8.4] (the version can be found in the settings menu) 2.5.4
  • Application type [e.g. portable, installer, Microsoft Store] appimage

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

I think what happened here is that there is now a new release of ffmpeg. The app downloaded the new release, but it did not change the path where ffmpeg is found. Should be an easy fix, but also fairly low priority
