Solution - ask HiSilicon to fix it in their Firmware.
VC-1 is one of the worst supported compression formats getting about for cheap and old Android devices.

A lot of work went into fixing up VC-1 playback recently for AMLogic S8xx/S9xx devices running LibreELEC. AMLogic even provided Linux Kernel patches to LibreELEC developers to fix VC-1 playback.

Thanks, I'll try to address through openboxfan
