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.
