@Renato: yeah media-hub will have completely undefined behavior for
unsupported formats right now as there is nothing in place to gracefully
handle them and report an error. I'm not quite sure what you were
expecting?

Title:
  Inform user when a video format is not supported

Status in Media Hub:
  New
Status in Media Player App:
  In Progress
Status in “mediaplayer-app” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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