By default are used bundled tools but it is possible to set environment variables `OPENPYPE_FFMPEG_PATHS` and `OPENPYPE_OIIO_PATHS` in system settings environments to look for them in different directory e.g. for different linux distributions or to add oiio support for MacOs.

It is possible to modify how often the validation is triggered in minutes. The interval can also be set to `0`, which will turn off version validations, but it is not recommend.
