Is there a reason you want it updated? The windows build usually has it bundled

To troubleshoot content playback in ErsatzTV use the Playback Troubleshooting tool.

Search for any content using the search bar.
Use the overflow/three dots menu on content and select Troubleshoot Playback.
Select the appropriate Playback Settings that trigger the undesired behavior.
Click Play to start playback.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the undesired behavior is reproduced.
Click Download Results to have ErsatzTV collect relevant troubleshooting logs (FFmpeg log, FFmpeg Profile, Hardware Capabilities, Media Info, etc) and compress them in a zip file.

But if you really wanted to try an update, you can grab a build from somewhere like:

https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds

#

and tell ersatz where you’ve placed said executables under settings->ffmpeg

first thing i always recommend when encountering what might be a bug, is to update to the latest full release of etv. you are 4 releases (full of bug fixes) behind
