Bug report

Describe the bug

Here is a clear and concise description of what the problem is:

I'am using Kodi 19.3 (Matrix) with LineageOS running on Raspberry Pi 400 with Android 11.0.0 (API level 30). When I Start using Addons the widevine encryption the Inputstream Adaptive only plays the sound but no picture.

Expected Behavior

Here is a clear and concise description of what was expected to happen:

Addons which use widevine also output a picture in addition to the sound

Actual Behavior

When I Start using Addons the widevine encryption the Inputstream Adaptive on Kodi 19.3 with LineageOS only plays the sound but no picture.

Possible Fix

A possible theory of the cause is that getCodecCount not work anymore, because has been deprecated on API 21.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start Kodi-Addon (DAZN, Tvnow, ...) for encrypted videos via inputstream adaptive plugin
2. Start playing stream

Additional context or screenshots (if appropriate)

Here is some additional context or explanation that might help:

after log line:
CDVDVideoCodecAndroidMediaCodec::Open: Secure decoder requested: false (stream flags: 0)
is missing the codec testing, in your case should appears like:
CDVDVideoCodecAndroidMediaCodec::Open Testing codec: OMX.google.h264.decoder
and then fails with:
CDVDVideoCodecAndroidMediaCodec:: Failed to create Android MediaCodec

According to CastagnaIT feedback, this is where the problem lies in the code:(https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/xbmc/cores/VideoPlayer/DVDCodecs/Video/DVDVideoCodecAndroidMediaCodec.cpp#L664-L750)

Greetings Weri

[CastagnaIT]

well done so that other maintainers can understand

[CastagnaIT]

this should be fixed by #21421
unfortunately i am no able to provide you with a test build
but i can tell you when there is a nightly build ready

[werimail]

That sounds good @CastagnaIT. Will the nightly build be made for Kodi 19.x (Matrix) or 20 (Nexus)? Greeting Weri

[CastagnaIT]

v20 only i dont think will be allowed a backport

[werimail]

Well I hope Kodi v20 (Nexus) works with LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) too.

Can you test kodiapp-arm64-v8a-PR21421_ALL_CODECS.apk to see if it produces any improvement?
