Hi Michael, would you please help to share the meaning of this error message?

Comment 2

[Michael Vines [:m1] [:evilmachines]]

I don't believe 1080P is a supported resolution, so that's probably at least part of the problem here.

This error message occurs no matter the resolution is 1080P or not.
For example, the media in the STR in comment 0 is only 176x144.
I tried many other different resolutions, this message still appears.

William - What's the end user impact of this?

Comment 5

[William Hsu [:whsu]]

Oh~ this seems to be a legacy issue and relate to video decoder.
If this Error happens, video doesn't seem to be able to play smoothly.
This Error not only show on RTSP streaming but also some video clips.

From keyword in the log, "OMX-VDEC-1080P", afaik this means this platform uses 1080P core instead of 720P core. It also implicitly means it should be capable of decoding 1080P content. 
Besides the testing content is pretty small, 176x144 as comment 3, so it should be supported. 

Michael, 
Since this error is reported from QCOM decoder, could you check again in which case this error will be reported or give us some hints where we can find the information related?
Thanks.

Does this work on v1.4?

Comment 8

[bhavana bajaj [:bajaj]]

:mvines, this may not be reproduce on 1.4 as we enabled RTSP in 1.4 do we know if the underlying issues here is gecko or caf ?

If RTSP is enabled in v1.4, why couldn't we check if it's reproducible on v1.4?  Did you mean "not enabled on v1.4"?

Yes, we disabled video RTSP on V1.4 and enable it on V2.0.

This bug not only happened on RTSP streaming but also general videos.
Please check bug 1002896, you will see the same ERROR.
It seems to happen on V1.3, but the ERROR frequently shows on log when we played RTSP streaming on V2.0.
Thanks! :)

Ah, thanks.  We'll add this to our test plan.  We can discuss dates offline for when we can look at this bug.

Not a RTSP specific issue, removing RTSP from title based on Comment 5
