This could be an installed ffmpeg package or a downloaded statically linked ffmpeg binary. Is there a problem with this on Fedora? I am not sure what is the difference between ffmpeg and ffmpeg-free.

Fedora comes by default with ffmpeg-free which supports only royalty-free codecs
the "full" ffmpeg from a third party repository (RPM Fusion) includes additional support for patented codecs

No idea if the full ffmpeg version is required, I did not test/compare both options.

In the doubt, prior using minimserver, I installed the full ffmpeg package to be covered, and that page helped me a lot:
