I have exactly the same problem, but no solution.  imlib2 1.2.0.

I added a bit of debugging code to vdr-burn to see the imlib2 error code
(see attachment), but unfortunately that won't help much; the error is
always 14 (IMLIB_LOAD_ERROR_UNKNOWN).

Further, it looks to me as if vdr-burn wouldn't actually mind if the
image can't be loaded, but generates one of it's own on the fly.
Nevertheless, that's the last output I get from the burn plugin, after
it the job is shown as errored out in the VDR UI, and no further info is
available.
