ARM hardware has problems with playing back 720p streams, whether in Linux or in Android, Frodo and Gotham. The issue does not happen in Linux on x86 (Frodo or Gotham)
After playing back the stream for 10 to 15minutes, video gets garbled and turns into green and yellow blocks. Audio continues to work fine. The player doesn't hang.
Stopping the movie and re-launching it just reproduces the same problem over and over, starting in the same video frame. This happens with most "HD" movie from IceFilms (H264, 720p), whether streamed or downaloaded and then watched, and is very annoying.
For example, see this link to content via pastebin: http://pastebin.com/rqsqCZ4e
- when played back with Gotham (nightly 2014 03 01) in Nexus 5 (android 4.2.2) and Nexus 10, the problem shows after 7.5 minutes of playback
- when played back on a PIVOS XIOS DS (ARMv7) with Linux and Frodo (12.2), the issue happens, consistently, after 12 minutes of playback
- when played back on Linux on x86 (Frodo 12.2, 12.3 and gotham), no issues whatsoever.
The problem happens with most "HD" quality streams from icefilms.
Anybody else running into the same issue?
