Trying to install ffmpeg with "opkg install ffmpeg" but it returns "unknown package".

I've seen at least one official tutorial asserting that ffmpeg can be installed on an Omega2 this way, so what gives?

@Clyde-Shaffer
I think that in order to download FFMPEG, other sources of packages are needed. Try to change the contents of the file /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf to

src/gz reboot_core http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/targets/ramips/mt7688/packages
src/gz reboot_base http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/base
# src/gz reboot_onion http://repo.onion.io/omega2/packages
## src/gz reboot_luci http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/luci
src/gz reboot_packages http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages
## src/gz reboot_routing http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/routing
## src/gz reboot_telephony http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/telephony
# src/gz omega2_core http://repo.onion.io/omega2/packages/core

Thanks! Now I have other problems, like mpd failing to play MP3s and M4As, but I have at least installed enough to make it play WAVs out of the speaker.
