Hello ffmpeg developers. I faced the problem of broken hardware video
decoding on Android TV boxes with CPU Amlogic s905w2 and GPU Mali-G31
using MediaCodec. This problem occurs when using any player based on
ffmpeg. I tested it with libmpv(https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv) and
libmdk(https://github.com/wang-bin/mdk-sdk). I also tested with plugins
for Flutter based on these video players (since I am a developer on the
Flet(Flutter) framework). In some cases I get video with lags and in some
strange green frames. I can give you a video sample with which you can
reproduce the error. I also talked to the developers of the MPV player and
they confirmed that this is a bug on the part of ffmpeg
(https://github.com/mpv-android/mpv-android/issues/1088). I can also
assume that this is really the case because I see exactly the same error
in the logs and the same video output when using MDK.
You can also see additional information here (https://github.com/media-kit
/media-kit/issues/614), including an example of a green frame of the video
output.
I can't reproduce this error by calling ffmpeg from the command line
because it happens on an Android TV box.
The simplest thing I can offer from myself to reproduce this error is to
build a Flutter application using any of the players (for example MDK,
i.e. the fvp library (https://pub.dev/packages/fvp)). For this you can
simply use the example code
(https://pub.dev/packages/video_player#example) and substitute my video
sample there.
Please pay attention to this problem. I have not been able to figure this
out for a year and now I have found out that this is a problem with
ffmpeg. I am not the only one experiencing this problem and it makes it
impossible to use any player built on ffmpeg on a huge number of Android
TV boxes.
