Hello James,

I did consider the questions you asked and I solved the problem by 
reinstalling package 'file' and then its dependencies : libc6 libmagic1 
zlib1g . Maybe only one was faulty but it is so quick and painless to do...

It was a system wide problem and not a gerbera bug. Maybe one file from 
libmagic1 was corrupted...

You can close the bug now !

Thank you for your help and for your contribution to Debian. We use 
Gerbera almost every day to watch educationnal TV shows on our TV. It is 
a great piece of software !

Best regards

Jean-Louis
