I have an error when compiling vlc from git, using FFmpeg 2.1.3:

Thanks for looking at this...

Use libav please. If you really want to use FFmpeg, upgrade to a more recent version of it, but this is unsupported.

Thanks you Rémi for looking at this. I went with a newer version of FFmpeg and now all is well.
