We need the log were the app crashes, ie the "old" one.
Actually, preferably, we need a logcat, as the xbmc log doesn't tell us much about the crash itself.

I posted a similar problem in the mediacodec thread with xbmc/logcat file attached

Yeah, and this is the libstagefright thread and your device is not an odroid.
Don't hijack.

Your issue is a firmware one. Nothing we can do.

I wasn't thread hijacking which is why I posted the link rather than the entire post. Since the Odroid poster was crashing trying to play mpeg2 and I'm crashing trying to play mpeg2 using Mediacodec, sometimes there can be a commonality in a problem that helps point to a solution as we're both trying to use hardware GPU decoding. If that's not the case here, fine...a rude response is unnecessary.

Issue:
Crashes application when playing Live TV (mpeg-2 from tvheadend on raspbmc) when either MedicaCodec or Libstagefright is enabled (Or both).
In the log I tried:
1) Both enabled - crash
2) MedicaCodec enabled only - crash
3) Libstagefright enabled only - crash
4) Both disabled - Plays pretty well using ff-mpeg except the edges of objects occasionally have ridges.

MediaCodec seems to work great for playing local h264 files but I can't leave it on because of the MPEG-2 crash.

Any plans to work on MPEG-2 hardware decode for Odroid U2 (Exynos4412)?

Thanks in advance for all you guys do. I'll be glad to provide additional information to help.

I re-ran with MediaCodec enabled only and here is the logcat from start to crash:

Again - Thanks for all you do!

I take out what I said to bac522, the crash is actually exactly the same, very deep in android.
Are your streams HD?

Yes. (If you're talking to me) Please le me know if there is anything else that would help.

I appreciate the response.

Not sure who you were directing your question too either, but my stream was HD 1080i recorded using Mythtv from an OTA signal. I will say that when tried using libstagefright HW acceleration on the same file, it played the file, but was painfully slow running at 5-10 fps.

crashes after i've turned on mediacodec and libstagefright.
when i turn off both of them i can watch it.

@tashkas Device type + logcat, please.

[tashkas]

added

[Koying]

Thanks. Unfortunately, there is not much we can besides blacklisting the crashing decoders.
That'll at least prevent the crashes...

ok

This is off topic but in case it helps someone else...

I was able to resolve the fuzzy edges issue while playing mpeg2 via xbmc ff-mpeg2 (software decoding) on ordroid u2 by doing the following:
1) Updating to the latest release of Android via the Downloads link at hardkernel.com
2) Using the Odroid Utility to
a) set the CPU governor to Perfomance
b) set Minimum Speed to 1.7Ghz
c) set Screen resolution to 1920x1080 and HDMI phy to 1080P (This one probably helped the most)

Now, if we can get XBMC to allow me to set Acceleration to Hardware Media Codec but then switch to software for mpeg2 streams automatically instead of crashing on them, all would be wondeful (until mpeg2 hardware decoding is acheived). I think this is the blacklisting to which @Koying refers.

To further stray from topic, hdmi-cec is not functional yet either but the guys at hardkernel and/or forum members are working on that.

good job Koying no more crashes after fix

here is log:
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=147564

bet there is still some kind weired bug, it stops streams and quits channel to channel list. here is log for it what could it be?
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=147574

ERROR: CDVDMediaCodecInfo::ReleaseOutputBuffer ExceptionOccurred render(1)
ERROR: Previous line repeats 89 times.
DEBUG: video stream stalled. start buffering

one time its freeze and again shows, second time it quits channel.

here is log cat:
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=147583

still crashes... with libstagefright on

its rockhip problem or could it be wifi?

[tashkas]

never mind its ok now tvheadend as server works crapy changed server working normal now
