This is a ubuntu 16.04 running on armhf board.

I use ffmpeg for recording video from webcam. The process kind of works best in a version of the ffmpeg. I want to install/rollback to the particular version.

Output from clone that has issues :

These two XU4s were clones, we somehow managed to changed the version to the newer one through some make/build. We dont have information on how we ended up with a different version. How do we rollback or change to the preferred version. The reason to rollback is that the performance of the video recording using ffmpeg is better in the previous version.

Output from clone that works fine. The 3.3.3-5ubuntu1 version.

Also suggest if the errors arent because of the version change and logs suggest something else related to ffmpeg.

You need the source files to uninstall the wrong version.
Go to FFmpeg source folder and use the command:

sudo make uninstall

It will uninstall the FFmpeg version that you don't need.
