Video Codecs issue on NXP im8 Quad max running Android Automotive 14

swayamdhondge10 — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 10:56:10 GMT

I tried to run a video with mp4 extension on imx8 quad max board running android automotive 14 revision 17. For this, I have used the default available players like -

Cactus Player - Unable to play the video.
Gallery Video Player - Unable to play the video.

Sharing the logs below. I have analysed the logs and I suspect there could be a codec issue. Additionally, I have installed and tested the VLC Player as it comes with the codecs and the video was playing.

Previously, while working on Android Automotive 11 revision 40 on the same board (imx 8QM) - video playback was working using the default players.

I am not sure whether the Android automotive 14 revision 17 built image is missing any video codec. Could someone please help understand / fix this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
