Comment(by garycmartin):

 That is rather unhelpful & ugly! ;) Some suggestions: Centre the message,
 plenty of padding either side of the text, line wrap if necessary, remove
 the technical jargon/code, put an error badge icon above the text as per
 designs like the other user feedback in ticket #3714 [1]. If we can't
 easily get at the missing codec name, then a clear, friendly error message
 would be a good improvement over the current behaviour:
