When I am trying to play any video, such as /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_video/test.h264 it show this error.
And the video is not played.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./pyopenmax.py", line 1004, in <module>
    play("/opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_video/test.h264") 
  File "./pyopenmax.py", line 983, in play
    vp = VideoPlayer(videofile)
  File "./pyopenmax.py", line 863, in __init__
    read_media.change_state(OMX_StateIdle)
  File "./pyopenmax.py", line 592, in change_state
    raise ValueError("State not reached")
ValueError: State not reached

I can't play the test.mp4 file inlcuded in raspberry pi hello_video example:

pyopenmax.play('/home/pi/test.mp4')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "pyopenmax.py", line 982, in play
vp = VideoPlayer(videofile)
File "pyopenmax.py", line 862, in init
read_media.change_state(OMX_StateIdle)
File "pyopenmax.py", line 591, in change_state
raise ValueError("State not reached")
ValueError: State not reached

I get the same error when trying other movie clips. I've tried running both the example and the vcfiled executable as root. On the raspberry pi forum there seems to be others having the same issue.
The same error occurs on the official raspberry pi image as well as a recent raspbian build with the latest binary firmware.
