Android 4.4.2 should get mediacodec, I don't get why you have OMX running

Sorry, but your ROM is probably not supporting MediaCodec correctly. You need to use ndk gdb to debug it.

But why vlc build of feb 5 is working well and all other players which are found on market too works well.

Some fix might have broken it.
But unless gdb, it will be hard to fix.

Hi. I have downloaded all nightly and tested every build. I found that the problem started from 2014-02-12 build. Is this the change which makes the problem? I m not sure.

Hi. It seems it has been broken only on kitkat. I flashed Jellybean Rom and vlc works well. I will use jellybean further because lagecy cm 11 is still in beta stage. Also fixing a bug may help other user who are using kitkat via cm mode

4.1 does not have hw by default. Force it in preferences and try again

Can you try *again* with latest nightly?
If it's still not working, I will have to send you a build full of debug messages everywhere

It would help us if you use 4.1 and activate HW in the preferences.
