 I am running Mythbuntu 12.04 with MythTV v0.25.1-49-g65913e7. I am
 attempting to playing video from an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1 (9B206) on
 Verizon.

 I have MYTHTV_AIRPLAY set and can play video fine through AirPlay if
 initiated from the YouTube app. However, when I attempt to play a video I
 recorded from my "Camera Roll" in the Photos app, it causes MythTV to
 segfault. Near as I can tell this is related to not being able to decode
 QuickTime/MOV files but I haven't been able to find any documentation on
 how to enable that, and it seems like it shouldn't cause a segfault
 regardless.

 To recreate the issue, I start /usr/bin/mythfrontend from the command line
 (with "export MYTHTV_AIRPLAY=1" already set in my .profile). I leave
 MythTV on the main menu. Then, on my iPhone, I go to "Camera Roll" and
 select a video to play. I can see my MythTV system as an output location
 from my iPhone, and choose it. The iPhone says it is playing through
 AirPlay, but the MythTV frontend hangs and eventually crashes after about
 10 seconds.

 I'm attaching three files (1) the console output from when I was running
 mythfrontend until the segfault occurred, (2) the log in
 /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log for the same time period, which is
 similar but not exactly the same, and (3) the output of mythfrontend
 --version.
