The core issue is a crash in Gonk MediaDataDecoder.

There is an intermittent failure in Android's stagefright ACodec.

Try looks good.

Yes ! \o/

Are the MSE mochitest enabled now on gonk?

If not, it would be unwise to enable MSE

There are no mediasource mochitest running in this try run that I can see.
So being green probably doesn't mean it's good.

Unfortunately it doesn't. The current gonk PlarformDecodeModule uses MediaCodec which is available after on emulator-kk. However, gonk mochitest only available on emuator-ics.

I'm planning to implement a new PlatformDecodeModule based on OpenMax (IOMX on gonk). That'll solve the porting problem between Android version and enable the mochitest on try.

Alfredo, which gonk mochitests are only available on emulator-ics?

I may not explain it very well in the last comment.
Allow me to explain it more complete.

The mp4 tests on emulator-ics are using old architecture. FxOS playback before (including) 2.2 uses the old architecture.

From FxOS 2.5, MSE/EME, mp4 playback will use the new PlatformDecodeModule architecture. Unfortunately, the gonk PlatformDecodeModule is based on an Android module which is available after (including) Android-KK.

In short, all MSE/EME, MP4 playback tests on FxOS 2.5 won't be available on try.

To solve this problem, there are 2 ways IMHO:
1. enable emualtor-kk try tests.
2. implement a PlatformDecodeModule which uses OpenMax directly.

so if there's no test for MSE ; what will the try run show ?

It uses a fake deocder, BlankDecoderModule.

Bug 1152236 happens again. :(
I don't think it is MSE problem so I'd prefer to fix it under new architecture.

Alfredo, thanks for explaining the differences between the FxOS 2.2 and 2.5 tests. Will FxOS 2.5 require Android-KK or later? Will the OpenMax/IOMX PlatformDecoderModule work on 2.2 and replace the MediaCodec PlarformDecodeModule on 2.5?

Yes for both questions.
