Hi Luca,

It looks like ffmpeg is already marked as broken if the chromaprint option
is enabled. This option was only added during the recent update to ffmpeg3
a few days ago, so it has always been marked as broken. It is disabled by
default also.

Do you need this functionality for something you are doing? I haven't
looked into how it could be possible to break the loop to allow it to be
enabled sorry.

Regards,
Ben
