@Bill: No formal way of doing it yet. I need to add some code to my
GStreamer decoder plugin to return this list (it already gets it from
the Android layer, just needs to export it) to media-hub where media-hub
would present it to a client. I would say for now, put in a static list
of mpeg4 and h264 for video codec types. It should support all of the
major container types, so no need to check for that. Would you mind
filing a bug against media-hub and qtubuntu-media to add this support?

Title:
  Inform user when a video format is not supported

Status in Media Hub:
  New
Status in Media Player App:

  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.
  Instead of this the player shouldn't try playing the video and inform the user that the format is not supported.
