Bug Description

The low-level error message strings from the Helix Client libs are being directly forwarded to the media application. For example:

* Disable gstreamer media service and enable helix media service
* start moblin-media and attempt to play an older wmv file (i.e. something older then WMV9)
* Notice a dialog box opens with the string "HXR_FAIL"

This is not appropriate for the end user to see. The media service interpret the error to a user friendly string that explains the error.
