Error log produced when running peek

peek requires ffmpeg to include vpx support. Adding vpx to the list of required ffmpeg use flags in peek fixes the issue.

Isn't it this?

Thanks for the report, looking at the configure steps in the upstream flatpak I wonder if other flags may also be needed?

But first step first, adding vpx

It also needs xcb flag or I get the error:
ffmpeg -f x11grab -show_region 0 -framerate 10 -video_size 544x97 -i :0.0+1,980 -filter:v scale=iw/1:-1 -codec:v libvpx-vp9 -lossless 1 -r 10 -y /home/pink/.cache/peek/peek6WIOUZ.webm
ffmpeg version 3.3.6 Copyright (c) 2000-2017 the FFmpeg developers
  built with gcc 7.3.0 (Gentoo 7.3.0-r3 p1.4)
...
Unrecognized option 'show_region'.
Error splitting the argument list: Option not found

after adding xcb flag no reproduce.
