Specify ffmpeg & ffprobe path using flag

[satbirkira]

I'm making a GUI for this and I don't want the user to have to install the whole ffmpeg package and have to add it to path. Is it possible to get the flag --ffprobe-path PATH --ffmpeg-path PATH? Both paths would lead to ffprobe.exe and ffmpeg.exe respectively.

Duplicate of #2115.
I think that you can set the PATH environment variable (%PATH% in windows) from your app, and youtube-dl should be able to find ffmpeg and ffprobe.

Thanks, I used os.environ["PATH"] = os.getcwd() and put both executables in the folder.
