On my device at hand the Samsung Galaxy Note II, there is not much logging dumped to logcat [1] during playback. Edwin, do you have a custom build available to dump more logging if need be?

It looks like the demuxer on (some?) Samsung devices just don't recognise the track as H264; might be a badly muxed file. Are there other videos this has been observed on? If not I think this is a WONTFIX.

Also reproducible on the following devices:
* Samsung Galaxy Nexus (4.2.1)
* Alcatel One Touch 8008D (4.1.2)
* Motorola RAZR XT910 (4.0.3)

Renominating because of our growing concern for the state of video issues in fennec

Comment 5

[Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) (use needinfo?)]

Aaron - Does this play in Chrome?

Edwin - What data do we need to determine if this is something we need to fix? Should we be sending back some telemetry?

Yes

Comment 7

[Brad Lassey [:blassey] (use needinfo?)]

Anthony, who do you want to assign this to?

Comment 8

[Anthony Jones (:ajones, :kentuckyfriedtakahe, :k17e)]

I can play it on desktop with the internal MP4 demuxer so when 1014614 is operational it should work properly.

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

Hopeful that this is all resolved with MediaCodec implementation, maybe? I'll take a look with these devices if I can muster them up.

The 4.1+ devices are all playing now. The 4.0 devices still have problems. Fixed via bug 1014614. How do you want to handle bug closure?

Can you just dup this, and change the summaries to reflect android version and the affected devices, then close the 4.1+ ones?

Let's just re-summarize this.
