Unsupported Codec

Open siddharthvishwamitra opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Describe the bug

Player can't play video maybe due to HEVC (H.265) codec. The video I can't play in Next Player, can play in MX Player. I have attached the screenshot.

Device info (please complete the following information):

  • Device: [Moto e40]
  • Android version: [Android 11]
  • App version: [e.g. v0.11.1 Screenshot_20240711-123318~2 ]

device decoders or app decoders?

I tried both. When I set device decoder, It doesn't even open video. If I set Software decoder, It does play video but showing glitch in video and it does hang when rotate. In short it's very unstable. Some more info about video format and playback is attached. It does work in MX Player.

have you tried re-encoding it with ffmpeg? I tested this with H.265 from https://test-videos.co.uk/bigbuckbunny/mp4-h265 it plays fine on my Tab S9.

Maybe your device does support H265.

Would it have anything to do with the HDMV subtitles. I know those are really wierd format from blu-ray and maybe the error is caused by that?

Looks like your device has broken hardware codecs. Time to upgrade to a better device. Unisoc processors are terrible, too.
