I am sorry for my silence. Distrohoppers have a hard time finding time.
Today I was finally able to read some and update the system for installing restricted ffmpeg - as a distrohopper I am never very fluent in any distro, so everything takes much extra time.
I am not sure of how to interpret (my bold)

Should I set:
Code:
PKGS_PRIORITY=( restricted:ffmpeg)
and
Code:
REPOPLUS=(restricted slackpkgplus alienbob)
in </etc/slackpkg/slackpkg.conf> and then run
Code:
# slackpkg download ffmpeg-4.4.2-x86_64-1alien
slackpkg upgrade ffmpeg
???
Is that what it means?

Glad you got it sorted
wget is a convenient command, but as you found out, it can be tricky to find the downloaded file. If you open a fresh terminal window as user and run wget, the file would normally land in your /home/<user>/ directory. If it's difficult to find, try
Code:
find /home -type f -iname <filename>
(or / -type f -iname <filename> for searching the whole system)
Or put the
https://slackware.uk/people/alien/re..._64-1alien.txz in your browser's adress field.
It's not necessary to cd into the proper directory, you can run
Code:
upgradepkg /any/old/directory/downloadedfile.txz
If/when Pat releases a later ffmpeg version, it will of course upgrade the one you installed if you upgrade via slackpkg. AlienBob will provide the new version, but sometines there might be a time gap.
