Problems playing videos #25
Comments
Playback works with Kodi, installed from Openrepos, but not any other application. Maybe Kodi comes with its own toolkit to decode videos? |
Also, @popanz reported not having my issue, but I haven't fiddled with anything related to video decoding on the phone, and had this issue right after flashing SFOS, so I am not sure what makes the difference between his Pro¹ and mine. |
Too bring grist to the mill:

Looking for this error, I found two pastebins from another Sailfish user, Birdzhang. One is called "with 999-droid-vidc.rules": https://pastebin.com/kfksDnYV, same error as me. And the other one is called "without 999-droid-vidc.rules": https://pastebin.com/PN50iLe8, and here it seems from the output that the video is playing correctly. I checked on my Pro¹, there is no 999-droid-vidc.rules in
Birdzhang happens to be on #sailfish-porters on Freenode so I asked him, but he must be away at the moment. |
I just tested and found that playback on youtube worked in the browser, but not in LLS, will investigate. |
Thanks for looking into it @piggz. After seeing the outputs above (and below), mal from IRC says: "codecs not found, something is wrong in android side then." He also said that Youtube uses software decoder, which is why it works in the browser. Also, I tried jolla-gallery and it does not work there either:

Probable fix found by @NotKit:
This might only be an issue for those who have installed AD and manually created wrong symlinks to make it work properly for videos. Camera video recording seems to work too now, while it would just create 0 B files previously, likely due to missing encoding codecs. [Edit: The issue below is probably not related, most likely an issue with the USB mini-PCB in my phone being either fried or partly disconnected from the main board, since I have issues with all three components on this board: hall sensor (keyboard detection), microphone, USB connection.] Coincidentally, since today, people who call me or whom I call do not hear any sound in conversations. I hear them. Reboots do not help. Can this be related? Since the fix, I also cannot summon the SFOS VKB anymore. Reboots and re-enabling keyboards in Settings > Touch input do not help either. Can anyone confirm none of those issues is related to the video fix? |
The possibly unrelated issue I mentioned just before was indeed unrelated. Some are still experiencing issues with video playback on h265 videos after the above fix with the … snip for legal reasons… |
With mal's help on IRC, I got HEVC (h.265) playback working in SFOS native applications, with confirmed hardware decoding.
I have no git copy of the repository at work, so anyone is welcome to make a PR with that. … snip for legal reasons… |
wow good job |
Partly fixed with f3a368f which now allows HEVC support. I still get "resources allocation" issues in LLS Video Player unless I load videos using youtube-dl, however, and hardware decoding does not work in AD so far. |
I have played a selection of codecs within gallery, and youtube on LLS. is this still an issue? |
Not since f3a368f in native applications, but still no hardware decoding in AD (which makes some applications that make it a requirement unusable). I imagine it could just be a toggle somewhere in some configuration files, or a path to alter? |
Well, as we dont support AD in community ports, i dont want to keep an issue open just for that. Probably the media_codec*.xml orl files dont match the AD rootfs. Im not sure how to change that in the new AD either, the old AD was just symlinks to your real rootfs, but the new one is in some container. |
The best thing would be if the community could find and share a fix for that. |
For the record, this is fixed in the latest AD version that came with SFOS 3.3.0.16 (and probably since the update in since 3.2.x, but not confirmed). |
I can't seem to decode any video or stream, tested in Microtube, Twitchtube and Piepmatz (Twitter videos). Microtube will crash softly and return to the search results. Local files fail in the default player and in Pico Player. Local music works.
Gstreamer-1.0 seems to be installed. Am I the only one experiencing this?
Opened a more detailed issue on TJC since it might not be related to the port itself: https://together.jolla.com/question/219924/no-video-playback-but-works-in-ubu-chroot/
