782830 - AwesomePlayer intercepts Stagefright video decoding on (Korean?) Galaxy S III

Status: NEW

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

STR:
1. On a Samsung Galaxy S III, play http://cd.pn/b3/
2. Watch the video play correctly
3. Play http://cd.pn/b2/

AR:
The video shows some play controls, but does not play on the Galaxy S III.

ER:
The b2 and b3 videos both play correctly on my Galaxy Nexus.

The problem seems to be that Android's AwesomePlayer intercepts the video decoding, but then AwesomePlayer logs errors about vorbis:

E/OMXCodec( 1923): [OMX.google.vorbis.decoder] err = -1011

OmxDecoder::Init() calls MediaExtractor::Create(), but Create() never returns and then AwesomePlayer starts logging messages.

I can't reproduce this bug on my S III (GT-I9300), but Brad can reproduce this bug on Korean S III (SHV-E210K). He can play WebM video, but not H264.

Brad, do these videos still fail to play on your Korean Galaxy S III? When you have a chance, can you try this test with a Nightly build >= 2012-09-11?

1. Change about:config pref "media.stagefright.omxcodec.flags" from 0 to 8 (to force H264 software decoding).
2. Load http://cd.pn/b2/
3. Can you play the video?

4. Change about:config pref "media.stagefright.omxcodec.flags" from 8 to 16 (to force H264 hardware decoding).
2. Reload http://cd.pn/b2/
3. Can you play the video?

I'm also seeing this on my HTC One X after a Jellybean update. Fails whether we're using SW or HW decoder.

I can take this if need be, since I'm able to reproduce.

Scratch that, my symbols were out of date. Not actually the same bug.
