Steps to reproduce

1. Start lbry.io
2. See two errors:

• An App Default Was Reset for aac files
• An App Default Was Reset for m4a files

System Configuration

• LBRY Daemon version: 0.18.0
• LBRY App version: 0.18.2
• LBRY Installation ID: 6he7dX74BiDuqUdEowvF1QVk9xj6LtS9LGdxWF9oBkDssUajXSGczDSiZYc2KreYCi

Anything Else

I'm tempted to fix it with this, but it's just a workaround.

It could be that this is not a lbry.io bug but this has happed several times today when I'm starting lbry.io.

@icheyne thanks for the report. I'll move this over to the correct repo.

Are you certain that the trigger is when you visit https://lbry.io ? What happens if you go to other sites with videos like youtube.com / hulu.com?

OK I've decided I can't be 100% it's the fault of lbry.io. Not sure what is causing this weird bug. Sorry. Best if you close this bug.

No worries, closing for now :)
