Greptile Summary

This PR appends a small documentation note to the humanoids imitation learning guide, instructing users to install Ubuntu multimedia packages (libavcodec-extra, gstreamer1.0-libav, gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly) in order to play the MP4 video produced by the HDF5-to-MP4 conversion step. The addition is well-placed immediately after the conversion command and addresses a common Ubuntu codec gap.

  • The three packages cover FFmpeg extra codecs and the necessary GStreamer plugins for H.264/MP4 playback.
  • sudo apt update is correctly included before sudo apt install to ensure the package lists are fresh.
  • No code logic, tests, or APIs are affected — this is a purely additive documentation change.

Confidence Score: 5/5

  • This PR is safe to merge — it is a purely additive, documentation-only change with no risk to code correctness or functionality.
  • The change is a single documentation addition of 7 lines in an .rst file. The packages listed are standard Ubuntu multimedia packages appropriate for MP4 playback, and the instruction is placed in a logical location immediately following the video conversion step.
  • No files require special attention.
