bug description
Recent commit that added internal streams feature, didn't specified process.env.APP_PORT fallback to 9000 which broke instances that were hosting cobalt without explicitly provided APP_PORT env variable.
As shown in documentation this variable should fallback to 9000, and there's also no API_PORT variable specified in file with docker-compose example.

there's no fallback to 9000 and as i checked the process.env in this function's scope, there's no process.env overrides too.
78288b8fac/src/modules/stream/manage.js (L88)

due this mistake function fails with TypeError [ERR_INVALID_URL]: Invalid URL on this line

reproduction steps

Host new cobalt instance with following docker-compose file from the documentation;
Try downloading any media (e.g from YouTube);
Receive error with message something went wrong and i couldn't verify this stream. go back and try again without any logs in docker container;

platform

Any platform
Any browser
Cobalt API >= 66e58d2
