Ah thanks, this thing drove me crazy - I should have known it was an Ubuntu
thing (yet again lol) :D
Ok, for now as a workaround I use Krfb (since I'm a KDE fan, I use only KDE
stuffs hehe) 
I hope KRDP gets somehow implemented on Ubuntu based systems too.
Do you know where should I go with this? Launchpad and suggest them to include
ffmpeg in freerdp3?
For me it's still unclear, of why they removed ffmpeg support only from
freerdp3, while ffmpeg itself is in their repos (and is installed on my system)
