Added a paragraph for Arch-based distro running into the fatal playback error when ffmpeg is not found and jellyfin-ffmpeg is installed in a different directory in the system tree than the one looked by default by Jellyfin.

Hope this is the right place, otherwise please move it to the relevant troubleshoot/FAQ section, as I couldn't find a dedicated one and had a lot of trouble finding a solution via various forums and issues.
Thanks

A further step into troubleshooting is to manually set the transcoding app path into the config file `encoding.xml` adding two new lines
```sh
<EncoderAppPath>/usr/share/jellyfin-ffmpeg/</EncoderAppPath>

Please don't use this to specify ffmpeg path. This is deprecated and may be removed in the future. The supported way to specify ffmpeg path is either via --ffmpeg cli option or JELLYFIN_FFMPEG env variable.
