xz: (stdin): File format not recognized

[yalishanda42]

This started happening today on every build:

-----> ffmpeg app detected
-----> Install ffmpeg
       DOWNLOAD_URL =  https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-amd64-static.tar.xz
xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
       exporting PATH

As a result, ffmpeg is not installed but the build shows up as completed.

It stopped happening a few hours ago. I am not sure what the issue was or whether it would happen again.

The curl call uses --silent, causing the real error message to be hidden. It would be best to add --show-error (or whatever the long form name of -S is) so errors are still shown.

In addition, I'd recommend using --fail with curl, so non-HTTP200 responses cause curl to fail.
