Comment (by jyavenard):

 Replying to [comment:50 Yianni Vidalis <yiannividalis@…>]:
 > Maybe the prior to ffmpeg 3 installation leaves some garbage I've not
 been able to remove, even manually? Could you please try to compile and
 install a previous version and try to upgrade to current commit, then
 recheck?

 Myself, I always compile that way:

 ./configure --prefix=/separate/path

 typically I use:
 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mythtv

 when to run the code, and ensure nothing else get in the way I run it that
 way:

 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mythtv/lib /usr/local/mythtv/bin/mythpreviewgen
 ....

 That way I can have a local master build (in /usr/local/mythtv) and the
 official build (from mythbuntu) is located in /usr/lib

 try compiling in a brand new directory, so you know there's nothing
 getting in the way

 otherwise, make sure you do sudo rm /usr/lib/libmyth* before running make
 install
