All types (I think) of videos fail with errors identical to these:

2017-06-08T08:35:04.264296   |  |  |--[unreadable]    VID00005.MP4
2017-06-08T08:35:04.264334   |  |  |--[metainfo]      VID00052.MP4

2017-06-08T08:35:04.264681   |  |  |--[unreadable]    VID00043.MP4

This includes AVI files as well.  Needless to say, the source files are 
readable/playable/accessible by non-privileged users.

It returns
             "codec_type": "video",

I'll include the full dump, below.

Thanks for any insights,
