Yes I had the same thought; that this sounds specific to ffmpeg
libraries/apps. Like VLC.
Although Chrome uses ffmpeg it contains its own private (older) version.
So that's why Chrome/Chromium would be unaffected.
Totem wouldn't usually be affected, except that having
gstreamer1.0-libav installed makes GStreamer apps like Totem use the
affected/broken ffmpeg version.
Maybe try forcefully reinstalling suspected packages. For example:
sudo apt install --reinstall libavutil-ffmpeg54/xenial libavresample-
ffmpeg2/xenial libavformat-ffmpeg56/xenial libavfilter-ffmpeg5/xenial
libavdevice-ffmpeg56/xenial libavcodec-ffmpeg-extra56/xenial libavcodec-
extra/xenial
** Also affects: ffmpeg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: ffmpeg (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
