errormessage in newest version

At first thanks a lot for writing and updating this great script. In the newest version i get an error: [mp4 @ 000000000202e100] pts < dts in stream 0 av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid argument when i try to download a show. When using VLC the picture and sound flicker every 5 seconds.

That error message is given by the program you use to download the video, hence I assume the script is working and showing the command line.

By the way, it usually happens with old versions of avconv (or ffmpeg). Please use the latest version of the tool to record the video.

Possible similar error with latest script that uses ffmpeg instread of avconv .....Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 0: 3600 >= NOPTS
av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid argument
I am using ubuntu 14.04 and had to install ffmpeg from an alternate repository .. not sure if this could be the problem.What version of ffmpeg is expected to work?

OK, i found a repository with a newer ffmpeg version and all seems well. Thanks again for maintaining this great tool.

Peter, good to know you got it working. An easy way is also to use the static version of ffmpeg which can be found here: http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/
