All,

I you see lines like this in your log:

Code:

00:01:49 T:28888136   ERROR: CDVDVideoCodecStageFright:: - failed to open, codec(28), profile(100), level(51)
00:01:49 T:28888136   DEBUG: FactoryCodec - Video: stf-h264 - Failed

It means no HW decoder was found to play the requested file and thus SW ffmpeg was used.

Apparently, most A10 cannot. Are there postive reports using A10?

Im not sure if this has always to be the case ?

as this vc-1 bitstream in .mkv fails to be hardware decoded with XBMC

but this .mkv vc-1 plays Hardware decoded perfectly fine with the Stock RockChip Player and MX Player

though there is a difference most RockChip decoder are registered with the naming scheme omx.rk. a few though doesn't seem to share this and are named just like in the case of the VC-1 Decoder "VC1Decoder" im not sure if that plays into the Software Fallback in anyway.

as here for H.264 you get the response from the Decoder with it's registered OMX component name
which is somehow not the case in the above VC-1 fail which just sends it failed to open the profile but not it's component name i find this somehow strange.
