I've managed to get through the 'dnf system-upgrade download' step by 
forcibly excluding 'mythffmpeg-31*' but I'm not feeling confident about 
doing the upgrade!  Any advice please?

Also why is the one library coming from two packages - that seems like 
something which could cause problems again in future.

Full command which worked: 'sudo dnf system-upgrade download 
--releasever=31 --exclude mythffmpeg-31*'
