media.codecs 2.0.1
First public release of the Video Codec Fix NEMESIS package for Gen5W head units (Android 4.4).
It fixes video in third-party players like SmartTube that fail with DecoderQueryException: Failed to query underlying media codecs. It adds the Google software decoders the firmware leaves out and removes codec entries that can never work. Everything is checked on the unit at install time and undone on uninstall. See the README for details.
Tested on a 2023 Ioniq 5 (NEEV23.USA, firmware 260507). The result: H.264 decodes in hardware, VP9 in software, VP8/MPEG-4/H.263 in hardware (unchanged), and HEVC, E-AC3 and DTS are reported as unsupported, so players pick another track.
Install with nemesis install media.codecs-2.0.1.zip (or --update), or with a type=install USB stick. Check the download against media.codecs-2.0.1.zip.sha256.
