NVIDIA SHIELD Decoder init failed: OMX.Nvidia.h264.decode after moving a player to another view

See original GitHub issue

Issue description

After moving a player to a different view using playerView.setPlayer(player); and stopping the app (pressing home) After resume when trying to reuse the original playerView get a error Decoder init failed: OMX.Nvidia.h264.decode

Reproduction steps

  1. Load a player to a playerView_1, move the player playerView_2 (that before this had no player on it) using playerView_2.setPlayer(player); then call playerView_1.setPlayer(null);
  2. Press home key to stop the app, open the app again to resume playerView_2 resumes the video that was playing
  3. Try to load a player on the playerView_1 get the error
  4. One more try to load a player to that playerView_1 all fine, so after one error things get cleanup some how

If after I do step 1. I do the bellow I don’t get the error all works fine

playerView_1_Holder.removeView(playerView_1);
playerView_1_Holder.addView(playerView_1);

Oddly on the Android Studio emulator running Android 10 TV, If I do the steps I don’t get the error, but I can’t see the SurfaceView of playerView_1 after resume on step 3, the video loads but the surface is invisible, unless I do the removeView/addView.

Seems that something is be held to the view somehow after the change…

Had a look at the green flickering issue too. I can repro that and just need to file a bug with Nvidia, then I will update #7998.

I wasn’t able to reproduce this issue on NVIDIA/darcy/darcy:9/PPR1.180610.011/4079199_2513.0256:userdebug/release-keys. I did the following:

  • Added a linear layout and put another StyledPlayerView alongside the first one, and added a button that triggers a call to switchTargetView toggling between the two views.
  • Removed calls to initialize/release the player in activity lifecycle methods (except when started for the first time).
  • Opened the first video in the demo app, switched target view, pressed home to background, double-pressed home to open recent apps then resumed the app and pressed the button to switch target view again. Everything was working as expected.

Please try the same and see if it’s reproducible for you still. It seems likely that the problem is related to the lifecycle of different surfaces. I think that BufferQueue has been abandoned means the decoder is outputting to a Surface belonging to a SurfaceView that has been destroyed. To debug on your side you could adding some logging for when the MediaCodecVideoRenderer’s surface changes and when the SurfaceHolder callbacks in SimpleExoPlayer are called.
