There's 2 streams with the same unknown decoder, but it should only warn once (otherwise the unsuspecting helper script will tell the user the same 2 decoders are needed, which looks a bit untidy).

Should be fixed in git:

    pbutils: remove duplicate detail strings when calling the external codec installer
    
    It doesn't make sense to ask installers for the same codec or element twice, so filter out duplicate requests before calling the external helper script and make the unit test check this works right. Fixes #567636.
