Radeon RX580 and trouble with Ffmpeg

[z]

Do you truly need proprietary drivers? That card is one of the best supported by open source software. So I would just install mesa, which should be easily installed from your distro's package manager, if it's not installed already.

Assuming you do need proprietary, maybe try a reboot if you haven't already? It's giving a missing binary error and sometimes I get those after a kernel update and not rebooting.
