ROM doesn't support Hardware accelerated H.264 playback right know

[dani0001414]

When I tried Moonlight(Nvidia shield game stream app) came this Connection Error from the application: This device or ROM doesn't support hardware accelerated H.264 playback.

This issue just happening for me or the video/audio hardware acceleration working not implemented yet?
Thanks All! :)

[morphis]

Yeah this is a feature we don't support yet. There is a fair amount of work required to bridge video/audio encoding/decoding over to the host and apply to appropriate handlers.

[avently]

@morphis can you watch a video? Any video. I can't. Mx player just crashes and stock gallery app write "Can't play video".

[seanlano]

I also haven't been able to play any video. I've managed to get Google Play Services going within Anbox (which seems to run without issues), because a number of apps I was interested in testing require it, but so far I have tried these video apps and none will play:

• ABC iView
• Vimeo
• Dailymotion

Interestingly, these apps do seem to work in all other aspects - but all just show a loading spinner when actually trying to play.

I can't even get a gif to load - is there any update on this?

Not really. Feel free to help :-)

I want to learn how to uses "anbox" ?

I have some problem on Androidx86 7.1.2. and Intel HD530

I also cannot play any video (tried on the default browser, Firefox and YouTube.apk)

the result of anbox system-info below:

Facebook app doesn't play video either, I'm thinking it's probably due to this.

[oxwivi]

There's no audio for me in the other apps either, is this related or should I open a new issue?

[ShapeShifter499]

Was this commit supposed to fix any of this? #914 It doesn't appear to do anything for me. No video I've tried plays so far.

Please, i want to say that i am able to watch video and play my downloaded (music and videos) via an app called XPlayer. I downloaded it from google play store. I transferred music and video via dropbox app.

[NHuebner1983]

Would really like to see video support! I can't find a good Youtube Dark Mode app like ones on Roku and mobile apps, so I was looking for an Android solution. I still think this is probably one of the best Android solutions. There has to be something that can be done to get videos to play.

In youtube app it shows "No Connection" but downloads 30% of the video (I see the red bar move).

Anyways. Good luck! thank you

[ShapeShifter499]

@NHuebner1983 are you able to play video after trying the fix mentioned near the bottom of #904 ?

Currently there is some extra issue that is causing play back to fail, as mentioned in this comment #904 (comment)

[chaudharynabin6]

yes please fix issue as soon as possible because most video are encoded in that format and also most video player uses inbuilt video player of android. This is main feature of android however there is still issue of that. please fix it very soon.
