A quick scan of the source shows that the electorn-downloader pulls in the electorn prebuilt. and extracts it, so it seems like it would be trivial to add a second download step to grab the ffmpeg binary  and replace the existing one. \r\n\r\nI'd be happy to look at a PR if this feature holds merit.
