Bug#762770: lives cannot find any encoders on startup

Package: lives
Version: 2.2.6~ds0-1
Severity: important

I have just installed and tried to use lives for the first time

On startup lives reports:
LiVES was unable to find any encoder plugins.
PLease check that you have them installed correctly in
/usr/lib//lives/plugins/encoders/
You will not be able to 'Save' without them.

And indeed I can use the app quite happily to edit video but the
'Encode clip as' menu item is greyed out.

I have lives-plugins package installed, and dpkg -L tells me that it
has installed the encoders in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lives/plugins/encoders

So this looks like lives-plugins package has been multiarched, but lives
itself is not looking in the multiarch path.

I assume all that is needed is a rebuild with the correct default
search path for encoders (and effects - I get the same complaint about
those too for the same reason)
