Cannot display videos in some devices

[K-Fung]

Hi,
In the current version from Google Play,
I found that some devices cannot display the video correctly.
The video cannot be shown on screen, when I rotate the phone, it is shown 1 second and then dismissed.
The audio has no problem.

Please refer to this youtube:

Testing device:
Redmi
Android version: 4.2.2 HM2013023
CPU Quad-core 1.5GHz
Ram: 1GB

I compile the code once by myself, also have this problem.
Does anyone has a solution?

Is it probably related to the video types you wanna play on that device?

In Sony Xperia SL, it can play FLV, but mp4 not.
In Xiaomi Redmi 2, all files cannot play.

Hi, I have successful when using your app download from Play Store.
However, I cannot find the working code when I compile myself.
In

@Override
public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) {
if(key.equalsIgnoreCase("hardware_acceleration")
|| key.equalsIgnoreCase("subtitle_text_encoding")
|| key.equalsIgnoreCase("aout")
|| key.equalsIgnoreCase("vout")
|| key.equalsIgnoreCase("chroma_format")
|| key.equalsIgnoreCase("deblocking")
|| key.equalsIgnoreCase("enable_frame_skip")
|| key.equalsIgnoreCase("enable_time_stretching_audio")
|| key.equalsIgnoreCase("enable_verbose_mode")
|| key.equalsIgnoreCase("network_caching")
|| key.equalsIgnoreCase("dev_hardware_decoder")) {
VLCInstance.restart(this, sharedPreferences);
restartService(this);
}
}


I cannot find the correspond changes made by dev_hardware_decoder in VLCInstance.restart. Where is the code?
How to enable the hardware decoder in our code?
Please help.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Look at the Media playback

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Could you please give me more hints?
Do you mean setHWDecoderEnabled(true, true)?
I set it, but failed to play.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Look at the logs.

Any idea? it is mp4 file taken by the native camera.

not using hardware decoding.

I don't know how to turn it on as I read the source code, I cannot find where you make the "dev_hardware_decoder" works.
I am sorry for bothering you, but could you please figure it out? Thanks a lot.
