@jhodap
how do we know if the video format is supported or not?
Is there an api on the media-hub or some other place to query?

Title:
  Inform user when a video format is not supported

Status in Media Hub:
  New
Status in Media Player App:
  Triaged
Status in “mediaplayer-app” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When a video format is not supported the result is at best a black or green screen, a black video with audio, or worst case a crash.
