AV1 playback causes Android crash

[eddieqiii]

Describe the bug Trying to play an AV1 video from inside Findroid triggers a crash of some kind, force-restarting Android. When playing the video, a loading animation appears, before the phone freezes and crashes.

To Reproduce

1. Add an AV1 video to Jellyfin library
2. Play video from Findroid
3. App freezes and triggers restart

Expected behavior The video plays without issue.

Device info (please complete the following information):

• Device: Google Pixel 5
• Android version: Android 13 stable (TP1A.220624.014)
• App version: 0.5.0 (10) [installed from Google Play]
• Jellyfin server version: 10.8.4

Additional context The video is in an mkv container. Playing it on the Jellyfin Android app works fine.

Let me know if you need any logs or additional info, I'm not sure where to find logs on Android :)

Okay that's really strange. Could you test it again with version 0.6.0?

Also, what resolution is this video?

[eddieqiii]

Sorry for the late reply - the issue remains in 0.6.1 (again from Google Play). I've included an image with the video/audio stream info from opening the file in VLC -- it's 1920 x 1080.

@eddieqiii It is not a direct problem with findroid, it is with the embedded players, which cannot play that video

@jarnedemeulemeester You need exoplayer, and mpv optimized to play an AV1 10 BIT
