Alexis, can you provide your "emerge --info vlc"?

You can disregard the previous post; I just realized I was on a second system when I did a rebuild of vlc-2.2.2, not the system I had updated ffmpeg to 3.0 on. The 2.2.2 that I see in my previous post is the one installed prior to upgrading ffmpeg. The limit on ffmpeg versions seems to only apply if you're leveraging vaapi or vdpau. I have logic limiting ffmpeg to =< 2.9 if using either of those USE flags in the live ebuild, and will likely backport that logic after more testing.
Upon further testing, the changes are quite a bit more significant than I first thought. VLC-2.2.2 still uses references such as PIX_FMT_ instead of AV_PIX_FMT_ which appear to have been dropped in ffmpeg 3.0. I have tested the live VLC ebuild against ffmpeg-3.0 and that indeed does build (with the VDPAU/VAAPI limits mentioned previously): media-video/vlc-9999::gentoo was built with the following: USE="X a52 alsa avcodec avformat bluray cddb chromecast dbus dts dvbpsi dvd encode faad ffmpeg flac gcrypt httpd ieee1394 jpeg libnotify libsamplerate lirc lua matroska mp3 ncurses ogg opencv opengl png postproc pulseaudio qt4 rdp rtsp schroedinger sdl sftp shout svg swscale taglib theora truetype twolame udev upnp v4l vorbis vpx x264 x265 xcb xml xv -aalib (-altivec) (-audioqueue) -bidi -chromaprint -dc1394 -debug -directfb (-directx) -dvb (-dxva2) -fdk -fluidsynth -fontconfig -gme -gnutls -jack -kate -kde -libass -libav -libcaca -libtar -libtiger -linsys -live (-macosx-dialog-provider) (-macosx-eyetv) -macosx-notifications (-macosx-qtkit) (-macosx-quartztext) (-media-library) -modplug -mpeg -mtp -musepack (-neon) -omxil -optimisememory -opus -projectm -qt5 -run-as-root -samba -sdl-image -sid -skins -speex -test -tremor -vaapi -vcd -vdpau -vlm -vnc -wma-fixed -zeroconf -zvbi" ABI_X86="64" CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx sse" $ ldd /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/codec/libavcodec_plugin.so | grep libav libavcodec.so.57 => /usr/lib64/libavcodec.so.57 (0x00007f8c46f5a000) libavutil.so.55 => /usr/lib64/libavutil.so.55 (0x00007f8c46cf4000) I will attempt to update the VLC 2.2.2 code to support ffmpeg 3.0, but most likely we'll have to wait until either VLC 2.2.3 or VLC 3.0.
