Google TV Streamer issues/bugs

[Jabez]

replaced an aging Chromecast with the new Google TV Streamer, having a couple of issues which aren't entirely surprising given it's a newly released device:

• All videos report resolution as 1920x1088 and stretch to fit entire screen. Setting aspect ratio works, but isn't much help unless source video matches one of the options in the list. Setting video acceleration to 'disabled' or 'decode acceleration' solves this
• Audio output is a little buggy. Using AudioTrack works on first video to play, subsequent plays have no sound. Switching to OpenSL ES audio output then back to AudioTrack output seems to reset this for one more play. OpenSL ES output seems to work but introduces quite bit of audio delay, needs about -350ms in my setup.

Hopefully workarounds are useful to anyone frustrated by similar problems, or developers if they are in a position to chase down some bugs

Could you please share some logs? Reproduce the issue and then go to: Settings > Advanced > Debug logs. Then share the logs with the sharing service you prefer (Google Drive, Dropbox, pastebin...).

first log (earliest time stamp) - acceleration = 'decode acceleration' audio = 'OpenSL ES'
second log - acceleration = 'Auto' audio = 'AudioTrack' (this one has display issue described in first post)

the audiotrack behavior isn't quite as i described above. i discovered by accident while capturing the logs that the 'digital audio passthrough' toggle within the player interface works (up arrow on controller/remote then near bottom of menu on the right) and audio is working now. toggling the passthrough setting via the settings section of the app doesn't seem to work

Yes, same problem here. Just installed our new Google Stream and VLC for Android 3.5.6

I have an old Full-HD TV with the "normal" native FullHD Resolution. Most movies are wider and should have a the black areas at the top and bottom of the screen. But the video is stretched to fill the entire screen.

I can switch the aspect ratio to something like 2.21:1 then it looks normal. But VLC should do that automatically.
