"video/x-ms-wmv" is for VC1 Simple and Main profiles (=WMV3)
VC-1 "proper" (= advanced profile) is "video/wvc1"
Not sure what profile BD's are using. A MediaInfo would tell...

Hahaha, that's funny. I did not recognize that. However, as previously stated, several VC-1 samples I tried played fine in HW with the native "Video" app. There might be a lack of standardization in the VC-1 world.

Indeed, but we know that the internal players are taking shortcuts...

The cheat most probably wouldn't work. VLC blacklisted our TV with the MediaTek (MTK) chipset for VC-1 because it only produces a black screen with the cheat. There is a lack of proper specification for VC-1 for Android/MediaCodec. That's why application and driver don't understand each other too well.

Using the native "Video" app is the only solution currently for VC-1.
We can just hope that MediaTek will one day enable video/wvc1 and specify how to properly exchange data via the MediaCodec API.
