Issue w/ ffmpeg #36
Description
Hi there,
I'm avid user of this excellent tool!
Attempted to download a show today but program needed to be updated to 1.3.6, did that just fine.
However, when trying to download the show again I faced ffmpeg not being found by nts. I had a go with 'installing it' and upgrading it through pip3, but I still am unable to get it to work.
I would appreciate any help.
