Transcoding silently fails if PHP binary path is incorrect

[Kirby]

Affected version

2.2.5

XenForo checks if the PHP binary path is correct when saving settings, however it does not check this at runtime.

If the path is incorrect at runtime (maybe due to a PHP upgrade or server move), transcoding silently fails - no error is being logged and the user also doesn't get a message that transcoding failed.

It would be nice if this could also be checked at runtime so some kind of error could be generated / logged.

Similar happens if transcoding fails for another reason as well, it just gets stuck with nothing logged: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/media-transcoding-halts-if-process-fails.204185/
