Subject: [PATCH] Add -stats flag to preserve progress updates with custom log
 level

- FFmpeg suppresses progress output (fps, time, bitrate) when loglevel is set to error
- Add -stats flag to force progress updates regardless of log level
- Fixes dashboard not showing transcode info (codec, progress, etc.)
