[SOLVED] vlc video for UK HD dvb-t2 won't show

I'm trying to use vlc 2.2.0 to display UK dvb-t2 HD channels. I can get sound, but no video is displayed. Normal mpeg-1/2 video channels are fine.

The video streams say Codec: H264-MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264); I think I have relevant codecs installed, but perhaps there's a new package I need.

When I tune to an HD channels I see this

[00007fb8d802e5c8] ts demux: MPEG-4 descriptor not found for pid 0x66 type 0x11
[00007fb8d802e5c8] ts demux: MPEG-4 descriptor not found for pid 0x6a type 0x11
[00007fb8d802e5c8] ts demux: MPEG-4 descriptor not found for pid 0x19ca type 0x11
[00007fb8d802e5c8] ts demux: MPEG-4 descriptor not found for pid 0x19ce type 0x11

[00007fb8d8047dc8] gstdecode decoder error: Error from appsrc0: Internal data flow error

any ideas?

dvb-t:// :dvb-inversion=2 :dvb-bandwidth=8 :dvb-fec=2 :dvb-fec=AUTO :dvb-modulation=256 :dvb-transmission=MODE :dvb-guard=AUTO :dvb-hierarchy=-1 :program=17540 :dvb-frequency=545833000

Edit: found that I had an old pinned version of ffmpeg installed. Upgrading fixed things.
