Hi,

what could be the reason that a mp4 video file without sound doesn't
play correctly when using the VideoView class? The video plays just
fine in vlc, mplayer and ubuntu media player. It has been created on
the device using ffmpeg. It is like 5 seconds long, so nothing
especially big. Codec is H263 with AAC-Audio, though the audio signal
is just empty. The problem is, that the video plays, but the image
doesn't change, or at least doesn't change a lot. It seems more like a
still image, though small movements is sometimes visible but not at
all what has been encoded. I noticed that the VideoView stops playing
but the time continues to step up, so it doesn't stop counting after 5
seconds but just goes on counting.

I'm using the emulator. Can that be related? I see the following
messages in logcat:
W/PlayerDriver: Using generic video MIO
D/AudioSink: bufferCount (4) is too small and increased to 12
E/SW_DEC: PV SW DECODER is used for MPEG4
W/MediaPlayer: info/warning (1, 44)
I/MediaPlayer: Info (1, 44)
D/MediaPlayer: getMetadata
W/AudioFlinger: write blocked for 118msecs, 1630 delayed writes,
thread 0xb388
W/MediaPlayer: Attempt to seek to past end of file: request = 5559,
EOF 4018
...

What could be the reason? Any ideas? Might it be an encoder problem?

best regards,
berliner
