Find new place to get ffmepg 4

The PPA has been taken down:

I will be removing most of my PPAs from public access due to continued and persistent abuse by companies using these packages for commercial gain with flagrant disregard to the knowledge and effort required to maintain them.

These companies are quite happy to charge thousands of $CURRENCY per month for their product/service but when they make a request will absolutely not pay for someone else's time.

"This is why we can't have nice things."

If you have already been in contact please ping me so I can add your Launchpad ID to the relevant private PPAs. Apologies for the friction.

If you are a company and would like to "sponsor" a PPA (whether directly or indirectly through contributions to an upstream project) then please do get in touch.

I believe this also impacted ffmpeg 3. When deploying my shiny app it fails when trying to install the ppa as follows:

• add-apt-repository -y ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-3 Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~jonathonf/ubuntu/ffmpeg-3'. The user named '~jonathonf' has no PPA named 'ubuntu/ffmpeg-3'

Is there any idea on how to move forward with running a Shiny app that utilizes ffmpeg 3 or 4?
