Could not open decoder

[Jay F]

I am attempting to do image testing. I am following the instructions listed at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/308/builds/65211/testcases/1444/results

If I follow the test case instructions, I always get the message Could not open decoder when attempting to watch live tv in MythTV frontend. Here is the output in the console.

We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The biggest one is that upstream has moved on to a new version and believes this to be fixed. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in the latest version?

Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer versions.
