Problem with video inside MXF container from Canon XF705 camera

Using VLC 3.0.16, I was trying to open a MXF container created by a Canon XF705 camera.

VLC errors out saying it was unable to find a codec, but inspection of the MXF container showed it contains a HEVC video track.

The audio plays fine as a PCM audio track, and ffplay is able to play the MXF container with both audio and video.

I've attached the output of VLC with debug logging, and also the output of ffprobe of the file.

A 10 second test video was uploaded to http://streams.videolan.org/issues/26247/
