Could not open decoder error on Raspberry Pi

[andrewjwilkinson@…]

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
