There is issue with stable vlc-2.2x which I plan to have in el7, also
the current kodi 0.16 version doesn't cope well with ffmpeg 3.1x
I think it's easier to have ffmpeg 3.0x in el7, but then I don't know
other dependencies that might have issue.
Given the pain of later updates, it might be worth waiting a bit for vlc 3.0
and kodi 0.17 to land (or get sufficiently stable).
I've taken Dominik's suggestion and queried[0] the ffmpeg developers. We'll
see what they say.
