I was told that the build server was fixed so I thought I would try out the unstable ppa again and what's happening now is that i can't install obs because of dependencies to a certain version of ffmpeg. The guide says to use severinson PPA for ffmpeg and that's what I have yet I get these errors.
Code: 
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 obs-studio : Depends: libavcodec-ffmpeg56 (>= 7:2.4) but it is not installable
              Depends: libavformat-ffmpeg56 (>= 7:2.4) but it is not installable
              Depends: libavutil-ffmpeg54 (>= 7:2.4) but it is not installable
              Depends: libswresample-ffmpeg1 (>= 7:2.4) but it is not installable
              Depends: libswscale-ffmpeg3 (>= 7:2.4) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

What's most weird is that i'm already running obs-studio from github, i downloaded the code and compiled it myself. I'm using a portable build of 0.8.1

I noticed the same thing, I actually was trying to install obs-studio in a docker container and ran into this problem. I think I'll have to end up building from source as well.

ok, i removed the severenson ppa and added the new ffmpeg next ppa and was able to install obs-studio BUT it still fails to work. Now i get this when I try to launch either the portable version of obs-studio (i compiled that and it's version 0.8.1) or the unstable ppa installed version.

Code: 
./obs: error while loading shared libraries: libswresample.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Why, why why? I had a working OBS just fine prior to trying to mess with it. Not sure why I do this to myself all the time, try to upgrade stuff because i think it'll be better and then i just break stuff. Sadly I was afraid this was going to happen. For the time being i'll just remove this new shit ffmpeg next PPA and use the job severenson ppa for ffmpeg so that I have a working obs as i need it for my 4 day a week livestreaming schedule.

Hopefully the devs can work come up with a solution that works for 14.04 and 14.10 because the current solution isn't working in 14.04

When I try to locate libswresample.so.0 I find nothing. when I do ffmpeg --version I get the following
Code: 
 libavresample   2.  1.  0 /  2.  1.  0

here's the entire output

I suggest you to do the following:

sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg
sudo apt-get autormeove
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ffmpeg obs-studio

I guess this should work in ubuntu 14.04, it is working at my end, but still not useful for my needs, so falling back to ffmpeg from command line. ;-)

The guide (INSTALL file) was modified 20 days ago and points since to kirillshkrogalev/ffmpeg-next PPA...& you said you're using a build from github in version 0.8.1...but we're already in 0.8.3 ! Strange...

Moreover, don't try to use an unstable PPA if you want a stable OBS...^^'

I think you should:
  1. uninstall obs-studio
  2. delete unstable PPA
  3. follow zenobs 3 first commands
  4. add stable PPA
  5. follow zenobs 3 last commands

UPDATE: I got it all sorted out. I just had to ppa-purge the unstable obs-studio ppa, then update, then install the stable obs-studio ppa, then update and install the new ffmpeg ppa and then install obs. All is well now
