Expected Behavior vs Actual Behavior

After upgrading to v4 and attempting to use spotdl, spotdl's ffmpeg path is not set. An example command is given for updating the path, but the command does not appear to work.

I have tried various formats of the path and final location (ffmeg directory, bin, and the exe) but all of them have the same error.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install spotdl version 4 with ffmpeg installed
  2. Attempt to use spotdl
  3. Attempt to use example command to update spotdl ffmpeg path.

Traceback

spotdl.utils.ffmpeg.FFmpegError: FFmpeg is not installed. Please run `spotdl --download-ffmpeg` to install it, or `spotdl --ffmpeg /path/to/ffmpeg` to specify the path to ffmpeg.

Also this command doesn't update FFmpeg path. To do this you have to use config file
