v2.6.2

A third attempt at the black-screen-during-animation issue — this time based on an actual device log rather than another hypothesis.

Fixed

  • Animated radar/precipitation could go black partway through the loop on at least one specific device. A logcat capture from the affected projector showed the real cause: its decoder (OMX.MS.AVC.Decoder, a vendor-specific chip typical of budget Android TV hardware) hit a mid-stream renegotiation event, failed to agree on an output buffer count, and its own driver deliberately blanked the screen after giving up — not a crash, an intentional failure response.

    The most plausible trigger was a repeated SPS (sequence parameter set), re-emitted at every keyframe under the previous 1-second keyframe interval. The keyframe interval is now widened to 10 seconds — longer than either animation's longest possible loop — so each clip is a single keyframe and a single SPS at the very start, with nothing mid-stream left to trigger a renegotiation.

Notes

  • Still not confirmed fixed. Please test on the same device. If it still happens, we've at least gone from "cause unknown" to "cause identified, trigger still uncertain" — a real narrowing, and worth another log capture if so.
  • No settings changed, no version-visible behavior change if this works — the loop should look identical, just play all the way through.
