I can download the .deb package with no problem, but when I try to run it with the Ubuntu software installer, the info pops up, then I click Install and it does nothing. I used the terminal to install the pre-requisites, but still no dice. I have no idea what logs/diagnostics you guys might need to help me out, so I'm all ears on that front.

Yeah, this is probably because Ubuntu 19.04 is shipped with newer version libavutil56 and libswresample3, whereas Ubuntu 18.04 or Debian Stretch (used to build the package) is shipped with libavutil55 and libswresample2, so you have a dependancy problem. It is really annoying that they renamed the libraries like that, as the API otherwise didn't change much, so you probably could use the newer versions for libTAS. Try installing the newer ones and install libTAS using `sudo dpkg -i --force-depends libtas_1.3.4_amd64.deb` command.

This was fixed by dynamically linking to swresample. I modified the deb package dependencies accordingly (requires either libswresample2 or libswresample3).
