Hey, i have working ubuntu 14.04 with mediasdk and ffmpeg to transcode video files. but now i see that there is an error in my installation...

I've also seen some issues with Ubuntu 16.04.  However, Ubuntu 14.04 should work well for this machine following these steps:

More details on how to check your install are in this article:
