Issue

Hi folks,

So we facing some issues with playing some videos. We have intermittent issue in loading layout especially if we use video media type.

If we check our log this is log we got

Cannot display video. Uri=file:///data/user/0/uk.org.xibo.client/files/28.mp4. Error=MediaCodecVideoRenderer error, index=0, format=Format(1, null, null, video/avc, avc1.640028, -1, null, [1920, 1080, 23.975964], [-1, -1]), format_supported=YES. Underlying Error=Decoder init failed: OMX.realtek.video.decoder, Format(1, null, null, video/avc, avc1.640028, -1, null, [1920, 1080, 23.975964], [-1, -1]).

Is it because our tv have low spec?

and also this log

setNextLayout: Cannot set the next Layout from the Schedule. e: Schedule Invalid: size is 1

so our question for now is :
is there any best practice about the best tv spec ?
any media type or size that recommended for the layout?

P.S approx our media is about 50-70MB (videos)

Thank You So Much, community!

Hello and welcome to the Community!

Check the multiple decoders and video engine settings for that player, some Android TV displays seem to work better when multiple decoders are set to Off and Video engine is set to Android Media Player
Also take a look at the section on Re-encoding video here.
You could also try a lower resolution to see if that helps (720p instead of 1080p for example)
