MythVideo not playing WebM

[russell@…]

When I select a WebM video file in MythVideo?, I get a "Couldn't open decoder" error.

The video plays in VLC. I don't think it's the file itself.

Not MythVideo?, and your sample is unsupported in our version of libav*

Also, please see the ticket howto, do not set milestones on tickets.

How did you get it to work? does MythTV have WebM Compatibility for transcoding now too?
