Can't play video on android 4.4.2 / imx6

[oussama]

I'm not able to play video on android 4.4.2 on imx6q board, although I'm able to play video with the command line in h264 raw format  "mxc-vpu-test -D "-i /clip.raw.h264 -f2"

If I try to open a video with the android Video player (h264 or mpeg4 codec encapsulated in mp4), it says "can't play this video".

the logcat shows some errors. Here's the most relevant:

E/BufferQueue( 2230): [com.android.gallery3d/com.android.gallery3d.app.MovieActivity] dequeueBuffer: can't dequeue multiple buffers without setting the buffer count

I/ActivityManager( 2978): Displayed com.android.gallery3d/.app.MovieActivity: +226ms

E/MediaPlayer( 3731): error (1, -2147483648)

E/MediaPlayer( 3731): Error (1,-2147483648)

D/VideoView( 3731): Error: 1,-2147483648

D/dalvikvm( 3731): GC_FOR_ALLOC freed 832K, 23% free 3174K/4084K, paused 16ms, total 16ms

E/BufferQueue( 2230): [com.android.gallery3d/com.android.gallery3d.app.MovieActivity] dequeueBuffer: can't dequeue multiple buffers without setting the buffer count

Installing the CactusPlayer by reverting the relevant patch does not help as well.

I solved the issue. The files media_codecs.xml  and media_profiles.xml  were not installed.

Hi

Can you try to disable OMX framework and enable the stagefright?

setprop media.omxgm.enable-player 0

Thanks

Hi,

It does not help. I still cannot play video.

Also the error in log does not seems to change.

Thanks

In the imx6qd.mk I have the following include:

-include external/fsl_vpu_omx/codec_env.mk (Initialize HAVE_FSL_IMX_CODEC to false)

-include external/fsl_imx_omx/codec_env.mk (Does not exist!)

Is this is normal?

[saurabh206]

Hi

Can you check Audio content of the video file?

Thanks

Saurabh

[oussama]

Hi,

What to check exactly? otherwise here's some info.

The audio coded is "MPEG-4 AAC audio" sampled at 44100 HZ.

For the moment i do not expect the audio to work properly. and here's full log that contains audio error:

I/ActivityManager( 2978): START u0 {act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=file:///Wildlife_512kb.mp4 typ=video/mp4 flg=0x4000000 cmp=com.android.gallery3d/.app.MovieActivity (has extras)} from pid 3583

Thanks,

[saurabh206]

If audio failed than video playback is also failed in OMXFrameworks.

I suggest please try  video only file.

[oussama]

Video only file does not work too. however I'm still getting the audio error even there is no audio in the file

[oussama]

I get permission error from android when I try to open a file from the browser.

W/ServiceManager( 2348): Permission failure: android.permission.INTERNET from uid=10034 pid=3809

W/Cactus  ( 3809): Unable to open content: http://192.168.1.10:8000/video_only.mp4

I fixed  the permission error by adding the requested permission in AndroidManifest.xml file and recompile the app.

But then I got the following error:
