Debian Linux Update FFmpeg to 4.2+

I’m trying to use spotdl with FFmpeg on Debian Linux. I’ve install pip3 and the necessary installations in order to download spotdl. Now, however, when I try to run a request with spotdl, such as download a song or something, I get this message:

How do I update FFmpeg to version 4.2 or greater? I couldn’t figure out a way to do this.

Thanks for any help.

Answer

Debian has 4.3.3 in Bullseye (stable). If you only have 4.1, it sounds like you’re on Buster (oldstable) or earlier. You should probably consider upgrading to Bullseye; if you can’t / won’t, you can try running FFmpeg and spotdl in a container (Docker, lxc, etc.) or VM.
