Hi,
I was using ffmpeg from official ubuntu-xenial repositories and was
unable to convert a bunch of files with subtitles ("invalid, non
monotonically increasing dts").
Then I realised, that my ffmpeg was so very old, it did not include
those two fixes:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/4450
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/6248
When I checked out from git and build it myself everything worked fine.
So I wonder: What is the best practice to keep ffmpeg up to date on an
ubuntu 18.04 system? Is there another repo?
On Ubuntu 18.04 I use the static builds from here:
https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/
And install them as described here:
https://www.johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/faq/
But I practice a small deviation. Instead of copying the binaries to
/usr/local/bin/ I set two symlinks from there to the binaries, located
in my home dir.
this looks promising since the he always uses the same link for the most
recent build. I should be able to create a cron job, that keeps ffmpeg
up to date with that.
and what is the difference to wget the current snapshot and fire up you
one time written "rpmbuild -bb ffmpeg-lastest" or however you implement
the build?
https://ffmpeg.org/releases/
https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2
Thanks for the reply.
Of course I was considering something like that as well. I've already
thought about setting up a cronjob that checks out the latest git and
builds the binaries which would be linked to my system. The difference
is about building it every time or downloading a binary.
Still I'm not sure if I understand you correctly... this thread is NOT
about GETTING it up to date. It's about KEEPING it up to date. I've
already build the newest version from source for the architectures I
need and it's running just fine. I'm just wondering how to keep it up to
date without having to care about it.
