Comment (by nigel):

 (In [25889]) Better codec descriptions (than MPEG2) in the themed INFO
 OSD. Refs #8656.

 Currently, MythPlayer::GetEncodingType() uses GetVideoCodecID(),
 which only iterates some of the FFmpeg codecs (plus, AVF's video_codec_id
 is often mapped to MPEG2 in ScanStream()). Basically, a more opaque way of
 getting codec descriptions was needed, and what is more opaque than a
 string?

 Technically, this changes the library API, but since only libmythtv is
 calling the extra method, no version change - to save a full recompile.
