Hello

I have holiday movies recorded with a 2006 and a newer Sony camera, Myth
Pictures and Mythvideo cannot play the movies.

With mythavtest I get the following error message:

Mplayer plays the movies without a problem.

Movies recorded with a Canon Rebel T2i recorded in video/quicktime plays
just fine.

Why can't I play video/mpeg codec movies within Mythtv ?

Which library should provide the codec ? Mythtv external FFmpeg ?
        libmythavcodec.so.52 => /usr/lib/libmythavcodec.so.52
(0x00007fb1b7bb9000)
or
        libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 =>
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 (0x00007fb1ac642000)
