On Arch linux ffplay_versions always return an error since on arch ffmpeg versions start with an "n" and then the version number. I have fixed this, now it works

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I can't comment on the code side of this, but would ask you clean up the comment. Spelling of proper names and punctuation should be fixed (missing whitespace after # for consistency with other comments; use full stop or semi-colon to split the sentence in two for readability).

On Arch linux moviepy.video.io.ffmpeg_tools.tools.ffplay_versions() always returned an error - this made it so that the preview function of clips wasn't working. On arch ffmpeg versions start with an "n" and then the version number. I have fixed this, now it works. This bug only occured on arch linux as far as I can tell.
