931778 - MP4 H.264 High Profile videos not playing

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect)

Description

[u421692]

Attachment: omx_logs

Environment: 
Device: LG Nexus 4 (Android 4.2.2)
Build: Nightly 27.0a1 (2013-10-27)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a page that contains H.264 HTML5 video (e.g. http://www.jwplayer.com, http://people.mozilla.org/~atrain/mobile/tests/media.html(H.264 High Profile Level 3.0 (Video)).
2. Play video.

Expected result:
The video is correctly played with video and sound.

Actual result: 
The video starts playing with sound, but the screen is black.
In logcat I see an error:
E/OMXCodec(17985): [OMX.google.h264.decoder] ERROR(0x80001001, -1007).

Note!!!: I was only able to reproduce this issue on LG Nexus 4(Android 4.2.2)
On http://www.jwplayer.com the video is displayed after setting the video quality to 180p

Does the video play in Chrome or the stock browser? This line says the software decoder is being used:

E/OMXCodec(17985): [OMX.google.h264.decoder] ERROR(0x80001001, -1007).

This is probably why it's not playing as it doesn't support high profile. Can I get a log from the moment the video playback is attempted up to that error? In particular I want to see the attempts at iterating through the various decoders on the device.

On my Galaxy SIV (Android 4.3), on Chrome 30.0 the video does play.

Sure, see attached. Audio playback works.

Sounds like bug 869168/bug 869170.

Looks like this is the cause:

10-28 12:33:32.945: I/OmxPlugin(17985): Unknown video color format: 0x7fa30c03
10-28 12:33:32.945: I/OmxPlugin(17985): Falling back to software decoder

0x7fa30c03 is QOMX_COLOR_FormatYUV420PackedSemiPlanar64x32Tile2m8ka according to a google search.
