790950 - No video playback from OMX.TI.DUCATI1.VIDEO.DECODER on metacafe.com

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

Currently when one plays any video on http://www.metacafe.com; one will hear audio but not receive any video playback.

I have tried forcing media.stagefright.omxcodec.flags to software and hardware decoding and this made no difference.

Only details in logcat I see:

I/OMXClient( 6308): Using client-side OMX mux.
I/OmxPlugin( 6308): media.stagefright.omxcodec.flags=16
I/OMXCodec( 6308): [OMX.TI.DUCATI1.VIDEO.DECODER] AVC profile = 100 (High), level = 30

Aaron, I think this is a dupe of bug 784329. Does the video play if you change about:config pref "media.stagefright.omxcodec.flags" from 0 ("use hardware decoder, if available") to 8 ("force software decoder")?

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

As mentioned, in comment #0 there is no difference amongst the flag values.

[cscott]

http://mozbugs.github.cscott.net/videobug/ (from bug 791500) is another test case.

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

This may be two separate issues.

When I force hardware decoding, I see a logcat error about "Unknown video color format: 0x7f000100". This will soon be fixed by bug 784329.

I/OmxPlugin(13377): media.stagefright.omxcodec.flags=16
I/OmxPlugin(13377): FORCE HARDWARE DECODING
I/OMXCodec(13377): [OMX.TI.DUCATI1.VIDEO.DECODER] AVC profile = 100 (High), level = 30

I/OmxPlugin(13377): Unknown video color format: 0x7f000100


When I force software decoding, Stagefright's software decoder fails with H264SWDEC_STRM_ERR ("Decoder failed: -2"). ERROR(0x80001001) means OMX_ErrorUndefined. I haven't figured out yet what the -1007 error code means.

[Sotaro Ikeda [:sotaro]]

It seems that the video is H.264 high profile. IIRC, android's default h.264 software codec do not support high profile.

Comment 7

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

Thanks, Sotaro! It looks like Android's H.264 software decoder only supports Baseline Profile (and Level <= 5.1):

https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/fbb170ca9cbbd0c87c71ac39ecbb36086bca5ee2/media/libstagefright/codecs/on2/h264dec/SoftAVC.cpp#L31

So metacafe.com's hardware decoder problems are a dupe of (soone to be fixed) bug 784329 and its software decoder problems are a limitation of the platform.

Well that's disappointing to say the least. Playback (both audio and video) work perfectly fine in the Android AOSP Browser, Google Chrome, Dolphin and on iOS with Safari on both the iPad and iPhone.

Comment 9

[cscott]

The video on bug 791500 (marked a dup) is h.264 baseline.  But maybe that's an instance of bug 784329 ?

Comment 10

[cscott]

(Sorry for the spam, just noticed that Chris Peterson commented on bug 791500 confirming that it was a dupe of 784329.  So ignore comment 9.)

Aaron, the metacafe.com videos will play correctly on the Galaxy Nexus (and use its hardware decoder) after I fix bug 784329.

Ah, I misread or misinterpreted the reason for invalid
