I tried to install OBS over the weekend. I kept running into this error. The following is some terminal output showing my ppa information, the error and my linux version.

I think this error means that the OBS package installer can find my installation of ffmpeg. But ffmpeg is installed using the package installer. This is what I get from running ffmpeg.

Now when I first tried installing, I didn't read the directions carefully.
https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/wiki/Install-Instructions#ubuntu-installation
And I added the PPA for 14.04 before getting ffmpeg. I then realized my mistake removed ffmpeg, purged removed the PPA and tried install ffmpeg as normal. I think this worked but it might be related to the error which is why I'm including the information.
When the package install didn't work over several days I tried doing a built install instead. And I got this error.

So it is another line of evidence point to a missing ffmpeg installation when ffmpeg seems to be installed and working. Any help, or suggestions for next steps would be appreciated.
