Store ffmpeg files in a more accessible directory (like /bin or /usr/bin) so Emby can recognize them. However, it's better to use your distribution's ffmpeg: sudo apt install ffmpeg. This installs the correct version, dependencies, and places files properly. Emby should then detect it.

Seadragon@SeaDragon installed ffmpeg via package manager. Attempt to build dependencies failed as ffmpeg isn't available through the current sources.

Debian requires additional references to complete this task. Ubuntu provides these easily. Per Debian's documentation, for the latest Debian versions (Jessie/8.x), modify your /etc/apt/sources.list. Append the backports repository: deb (Debian URL) jessie-backports main. If your primary list is deb http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib, insert this after the existing line: deb http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib deb http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main. Save the file and run an update before installing: # sudo apt update ... # sudo apt install ffmpeg

It should function. But because you're in the US, use the US mirrors: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main. You may find a closer mirror when accessing the backports repo. Also, you don't require the initial custom addition. This was only an illustration for demonstrating the second addition (to align with the mirror URL).
