Workaround for H264 playback bug on Android?

May 10, 2012 3:04 AM

Tags: #video #h264 #air_for_android #air_3.2 #air_3.3

We have been doing extensive testing on H264 playback in both FLV and MP4 containers on Android AIR 3.2 / 3.3 (beta 3) for ICS. The process is documented here:

https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3164920

 

Summarized:

==========

Android AIR 3.2 / 3.3 (beta 3) H264 playback (both in FLV and MP4 container) on Android 4 is severely broken.

 

Video object (not StageVideo) with H264 content is:

 

1) not playing videos consistently ("NetStream.Play.Stop" is triggered to early) so the movie stops before the end is reached. This also happens on Android 3. Note! The bug is not in AIR 3.1.

 

2) not supporting filters (video frame is being scaled). Only Android 4 (ICS).

 

3) not supporting seeking when video is paused (video frame is not being updated). Only Android 4 (ICS).

 

Is there any known workarounds for these bugs?

 

Best,

    Hi,

     

    I just wanted to follow up.  It looks from your bug comments like the issues you experienced in AIR 3.2 have been resolved AIR 3.3.

     

    Are there any outstanding problems that you're seeing with regard to the issues you've described that we need to look into further for AIR 3.3? 

     

    Thanks!

    All the bugs are still open in Air 3.3 beta 3 and Air 3.4 prerelease 1.

    We encounter the same issue in our video-app.
