First check if you have ffmpeg installed in your system, by typing which ffmpeg. If it's there but it's not recognized, it means it's broken and you're gonna have to reinstall it. Try apt-get --reinstall install ffmpeg.
That, assuming you didn't compile it yourself, in that case you're gonna have to download a fresh copy of ffmpeg from here http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-2.8.3.tar.bz2, and recompile.

At the last step, try running sudo make install instead, so it will be installed for all users and it'll ensure chromium will recognize it. Additionally, navigate to the directory/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libs/and dols -l, to see which files are present there and their permissions. libffmpeg.so should be there.

In Ubuntu the Chromium libfmmpeg.so library (./usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so) is provided by the chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package, whose installation was likely corrupted in your case.
In order to solve the problem, you need to reinstall the package:
apt-get --reinstall chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
