Use 127.0.0.1 when connecting to localhost

* Make sure progress UI updates occur on main thread

* Cleanup unnecessary code in FFMPEG

* Cleanup extension matching

* Make sure supported_extensions is now called as a method everywhere

* Fix add_job crashing

* Update the renderer to reflect the current file type

* Sort engine versions from newest to oldest

* Consolidate Project Group and Server Group

* Split UI options into its own file for easier updating

* Add ffmpeg ui stem
