 One recording consistently gives this error if trying to play it
 {{{
 Could not open decoder
 myth://xxxxxxxx/3312_20160514070000.ts
 }}}
 The recording plays perfectly with VLC.

 This is an unusual case, where there are several seconds of corruption
 near the start of the file.

 I have a fix, which works on this file, involving ignoring certain error
 conditions. I am not going to apply the fix unless more people have the
 problem, because the fix may cause unpredictable behaviour in cases where
 the file is badly corrupted. I need a few test files that experience the
 error to validate it.

 If you have experienced this problem please attach a note to this bug log.
 I will also want to get a copy of the beginning of the file that failed.
