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.

Thank you Ulf,
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.
Also sorry, i accidentally didn't reply to the list.
Best regards
