I have the same requirement on Lollipop 5.0.2 on an imx6q. VLC plays mpeg2 videos but sometimes stutters. If I use Google's exoplayer, it cannot play MPEG2 video. So I wonder if VLC is actually using the hardware, or using its own builtin software codecs because it can't find the hardware codecs. We have installed the omxplayer and advanced codecs.

When exoplayer can't find the mpeg2 codec, we get this in the logcat:

D/EventLogger( 6602): Tracks [
D/EventLogger( 6602):   Renderer:0 [
D/EventLogger( 6602):     Group:0, adaptive_supported=N/A [
