No picture when playing Dolby Vision video (Unknown Dolby Vision level string)

See original GitHub issue

I’m unsuccessfully trying to play Dolby Vision videos that come from iPhone 11/12 devices (not necessarily the stock recorder app). When playing these two samples:

following is logged and video does not play (no picture at all):

W/MediaCodecUtil: Unknown Dolby Vision level string: 010
    Unknown Dolby Vision level string: 010
W/MediaCodecUtil: Unknown Dolby Vision level string: 012
    Unknown Dolby Vision level string: 012

Platform VideoView plays both videos just fine.

  • ExoPlayer version number: 2.12.3
  • Android version: 10

Just confirming that I’m able to play the videos with dev-v2-r2.13.0 branch.
