install FFmpeg codecs to make gifcurry work

I'm trying to use gifcurry on Ubuntu 16.04 but I get the following warning which will not allow me to select my mp4 I created in KdenLive.

enter image description here

I installed gifcurry as instructed on the site. It opens up fine.

I also tried installing libav-tools but I still get this yellow error or warning which will not allow me to open my MP4.

Does anyone know how to install the proper decoders so I can open my mp4 file? Is there anyway to simply install a whole lot of them which will probably cover it for my mp4?

i'm running ubuntu 18.10, same error using the snap

sudo snap remove gifcurry

download gifcurry AppImage and the 'handy' AppImage install script

chmod +x ./gifcurry-app-image-install.sh

launch ./gifcurry-app-image-install.sh

on launch i had one error, fixed by the gstreamer plugin install listed here:

According to gifcurry's website, gifcurry requires FFMPEG 3.0 or above. Ubuntu 16.04 only has FFMPEG 2.8.

This may or may not be your issue, but you may want to ask for help from gifcurry's support for further clarification.
