Problem on updating FFMPEG to version 4

Guys, I updated HA to version 1.110 and up until now I couldn’t get my ONVIF cameras to work again.

To sum up, on my searchs I found out here that I need FFMPEG version 4 in order to install AV version 8.0.1.

But I can’t get FFMPEG updated to version 4

Stream page says that I should be able to update using

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-4
sudo apt upgrade

But this is what I get when I try

pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-4
Traceback (most recent call last):

I read somewhere that these “ppa” are for ubuntu systems. To install PPA on raspberry pi I tried both ways here and none of them worked.

If I try to just sudo apt-get heres what I get that FFMPEG is already on the latest version (but it says 3.2.14, no 4)

pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

ffmpeg is already the newest version (7:3.2.14-1~deb9u1+rpt1).

Please, help me update it to version 4 so I can then update AV to 8.0.1 and finally have my ONVIF cameras working again.

Thanks!
