[mythtv-users] Preview image fail for h264 recordings

[Jeff Simpson]

I've been successful in importing h264 encoded videos back into myth
after transcoding and making them playable with mythfrontend.
Fantastic!

Here's where we fail:

2008-04-04 16:02:19.062 AFD Error: Could not find codec parameters.
file was "/mnt/store/recordings/MXC-Religous_Right_vs._Gay_Rights.mp4".

Anybody who is familiar with the preview image generation care to take
a stab at this? I take it the part of code that does preview images
does not use the same codecs that the frontend uses for playing?
(since it is able to play the files just fine)
