 Hi,

 Since upgrading to v29 some of my videos have stopped playing. There is a
 black “Please wait” screen then it goes back to the menu with a “Could not
 open decoder” error message. I’ve included the relevant log lines from the
 frontend below.

 This is mythtv-light running on a Raspberry Pi using the OpenMax High
 Quality playback profile.

 It seems to be saying that the file is invalid, but it plays correctly
 other players, and MythTV 0.28. They
 also plays fine on a v29 frontend on my MacBook.

 I've uploaded in one of the videos that refuses to play to
 http://www.indiegigs.co.uk/~andrew/decoder_error.mp4. I couldn't truncate
 the file as it's an mp4, so the file is 240MB.

 Many thanks,
 Andrew
