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.

Some fix might have broken it.

But unless gdb, it will be hard to fix.

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 :)

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