@Jim
it would be good to do the check at a low level like you suggest, either qtubuntu-media or media-hub as many different apps could request playing media of unsupported types, so checking that at the service level makes sense. Would be good for media-hub to not crash either but I guess that would be less important if we can ensure that it will never try to play anything it cant' handle.

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.
