I tried that before replying but it changed nothing. I also have libavutil55
and libswscale4 from packman.

I have always been careful and that's why I don't want to blindly run that "dup
--from" because it may switch all system packages to their packman versions and
I am not sure if that is a good idea. I have always used only external packages
from the external repos (e.g. only chromium-ffmpeg from packman) considering
dependencies too. But for some reason a few versions ago chromium-ffmpeg
package is no longer on packman and I don't really see why switching packages
such as amarok or k3b to packman can be a cure to the actual problem with vimeo
and chromium.

I really hope you can help. I have opened a forum thread:
