I have Android 4.2 Smart TV on MSTAR MSD6369IV. MXplayer shows any x264 1080p video hardware decoding. HBMS 13.2 and 14a only in the software mode. Can I install other / third-party codecs in XBMC/KODI?

Is there an mediacodec equivalent to the advancedsettings for libstagefright:

<stagefright>
<usempeg2codec>0</usempeg2codec
</stagefright>

I want to disable mediacodec for mpeg2, but use for everything else (enabling mediacodec screws up deinterlacing on my fire tv,whilst libstagefright works fine - however, mediacodec works better on high bit rate h264)

Could you test http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/andr...bi-v7a.apk to confirm it's ok, please.

Installs, but crashes when trying to play videos atleast from SMB or UPnP sources. Local file seems to work. I can get the logcat this evening if no one gets it first.

Does this seem to be releted to nexus9? Same upnp source and file works on nexus5 lollipop with xbmc gotham 13.1.

It's there in spmc, have a look at the advanced settings page of the wiki

I have an odd issue with an old set of AVI files being played by KODI, they simply refuse to play under mediacodec, but play fine via libstagefright. The device this is being played on is an OUYA and I am using the build: 14.0 Git:2014-12-23-ad747d9-dirty.

To be clear, when trying to play these files with mediacodec and libstagefright enabled I only hear audio for a fraction of a second and see no video, followed by Kodi promptly crashing. However, if I disable mediacodec I then can play the files without a hitch. Please let me know if there is anymore information I can provide.

Logcat of crash with mediacodec

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong area in the forum, but it did seem to fit the issue.

Koying · 2014-12-26, 20:03

Yeah. I have a PR to not even try to h/w decode SD MP4's.
Those are quite messy and easily break h/w decoders, while they can easily be decoded in s/w by ffmpeg.

elmcguinness · 2014-12-26, 21:17

Sounds great Koying, thanks for all your work. I was thinking I would just rerip all these files to hd and x264, but that PR will save me the trouble.
