No video in OS X frontend

OS X 10.4.2 (Tiger), current SVN pull (10pm EDT Thursday). When
watching live TV or recordings, I get audio but black for video.
This is on the console:

2005-07-21 22:12:54.513 mythfrontend[751] CFLog (21): Error loading /
System/Library/Components/IOQTComponents.component/Contents/MacOS/
IOQTComponents: error code 4, error number 0 (Symbol not found:
__cg_png_destroy_write_struct
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/
ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/
Versions/A/ImageIO
Expected in: /usr/local/lib/libPng.dylib
)
DecompressSequenceFrameWhen failed

I just upgraded to qt 3.3.4, but it was also happening with 3.3.3.
Anyone else seeing this?

As a follow-up, I've solved this no-video issue with OS X Tiger. If
anyone else has this issue, I'll just note this for the archives.
The error is caused by new png libraries provided by the new 10.4
Tiger release. If you have 10.4, you need to get rid of the libpng
libraries you may have compiled and installed into /usr/local/lib/.
Just remove those and it'll use the new system default libs, and
it'll work just fine.

Good find, Michael.

So, what you are saying is that QuickTime is trying to use
/usr/local/lib/libpng.dylib instead of the Apple one? Interesting.
I wonder if a custom DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (either in the env,
or "compiled into" the binary) would be a better workaround?
