 Summary of the bug:

 ffprobe says "Unsupported codec with id 0 for input stream 1" when given a
 Quicktime .mov with timecode, even though it does report the timecode
 correctly. ffmpeg from the same build does not report any error, and also
 shows the correct timecode.

 How to reproduce:

 Create a .mov with timecode:

 {{{
 % ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -t 5 -timecode "10:00:00:00" testsrc-with-
 tc.mov

 Codec AVOption gop_timecode (MPEG GOP Timecode in hh:mm:ss[:;.]ff format)
 specified for output file #0 (testsrc-with-tc.mov) has not been used for
 any stream. The most likely reason is either wrong type (e.g. a video
 option with no video streams) or that it is a private option of some
 encoder which was not actually used for any stream.
 No pixel format specified, yuv444p for H.264 encoding chosen.
 Use -pix_fmt yuv420p for compatibility with outdated media players.

 Note that the timecode was read correctly by ffprobe, but it still gives
 an error.
