Chromium will not start - libffmpeg problem

Solution 1:

First check if you have ffmpeg installed in your system, by typing which ffmpeg. If it's there but it's not recognized, it means it's broken and you're gonna have to reinstall it. Try apt-get --reinstall install ffmpeg. That, assuming you didn't compile it yourself, in that case you're gonna have to download a fresh copy of ffmpeg from here http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-2.8.3.tar.bz2, and recompile.
