Can't Play This Video
Posted: Fri Oct 18, 2013 11:13 pmProblem Description:
I recently obtained an LG G2 Android phone in Canada from Rogers Wireless. The phone is running stock LG G2 Android 4.2.2 (nonrooted/tampered). I have downloaded Subsonic 3.8, MX Player Pro 1.7.19 and MX Player Codec (ARMv7 NEON) v1.7.19 from the Google Play store. I also manually downloaded the MX Player Codec (ARMv7 NEON) v1.7.19 from https://copy.com/uLUG8I3t8AOb?download=1. When I attempt to play the video over 3G/4G/LTE/WirelessN using the Subsonic app I get the message "Video Problem Can't play this video" from MX Player Pro.
Troubleshooting Steps:
The subsonic app is able to properly stream music from my server. Verified that the HW+ support in the MX Player codec is functioning by downloading(as opposed to streaming) an mp4 file to my phone which played via MX Player fine. I was able to verify that the hardware video processing functionality was working as "H/W+" was displayed in the top right hand corner of the player during video playback. Oddly, this only shows up as "S/W" when the player is used through the Subsonic app (see attached picture). I have tried using the default codec in MXPlayer Pro and the manually downloaded codec in MX Player Pro but neither seems to work with streaming video. I initially tried using a transcode setting of "ffmpeg -ss %o -i %s -async 1 -b %bk -s %wx%h -ar 44100 -ac 2 -v 0 -f flv -vcodec libx264 -preset superfast -threads 2 -" in subsonic but that didn't work. I then changed the player that my android device uses to use a transcode setting of "ffmpeg -ss %o -t %d -i %s -async 1 -vf lutyuv=y=val*1.3 -b %bk -s %wx%h -ar 44100 -ac 2 -v 0 -f webm -vcodec libvpx -preset superfast -acodec libvorbis -threads 0 -" (DSUB android setting from http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11969) but that also didn't work.
