It works with a different mediaplayer (nsw).

So maybe we can reinstall the original android mediaplayer for 2.1, like you 
already did with the music player.

I'll try to find the .apk the next days.

How is the status in 4.2?

Sound works with with standard mediaplayer as well as with nsw.
But no video in both.

I test with different files on my RTSP server and we have no video for 
H263 - H264 and MP4 video.

I think it's clearly a problem with SW decoder

.mp4s can be played with 4.3, but they are flickering like mad.
Sound is clear though.

I am able to play the Mp4 video's by ES Player but with conditions.
eg I open the file with ES player.
The file plays in horizontal mode but with flickering, sound is ok though.
I turn the phone in vertical mode and video gets adjusted in vertical mode . 
the sound and video is clear now since video size is reduced.

Can confirm.
Videos (mp4) do work within rockplayer in systemmode, as long as they are not 
enlarged on the fly.

Gui seems to be pretty slow though.

I really think copybit errors are related to this issue:
Just read this somewhere:
"On the G1 copybit is used for all window compositions and video
> playback (CC and scaling), on this h/w copybit is very fast and
> provide very good up and down scaling."
Apparently copybit is related to video playback. Maybe the fact that copybit is 
lacking some permissions prevent it to do his job correctly ?

Furthermore, this issue on a galaxy port of CyanogenMod looks extremly close to 
our issue, and they managed to fix it !!

Good catch... Except you'll notice polytheus has a comment on that thread dated 
July 15, so I'm *guessing* he saw it already ;)
It sure would be nice to get rid of the copybit errors, even if it doesn't 
solve any of the problems we're experiencing, just cuz it noises up my logcat. 
heh :)

@grant.bowering:
Ok my bad. Yet i don't see the comment your mentionning ... Maybe on the 
(insanely huge) XDA Topic ?
And this issue has no owner ?

Am i wrong to think that there isn't only Polytheus working on that project 
(even i admit he did some very good job) ? Isn't that the point of Open Etna ? 
:D

Anyway this issue is one of the last real drawback of Open Etna. After that i 
consider it as "complete".

Really, you don't see it?  It's the second post from the bottom in the link you 
sent.  Polytheus only said "Please explain how you fixed this issue, because I 
get the same error on a different project/device.", I'm not sure if he even saw 
yet that there was a reply.  I was just giving you a hard time, hence the wink 
;)
Yeah, personally the mono audio (Issue 85) is the big thing for me, and then 
video (including this issue, Issue 111, and Issue 123, which I suspect are all 
related) is the second biggest thing, and then I'm satisfied.  Can't call it 
"complete" until everyone can make calls though; I think there are still issues 
with 128 KB SIMs aren't there?

Anyway this polytheus doesn't speak much but every letter he spare on comments 
is recycled in pure awesome code for our dear GW620.

update: 4.5-rc1:
SystemMode: Sound is clear, but no video at all
NormalMode: Video runs ok, but sound is a mess (scratchy or silent)

(Both tested with rockplayer)

With 6.0 rc4, the sound and the videos runs well but there is a time lag 
between the sound and the images.

Original comment by kris10d...@gmail.com on 1 Oct 2010 at 7:27

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As a lot of things, video playback is now working but slow because we don't 
have hardware acceleration yet.

Can someone confirm that videos are working (just a little slow ?)

If image is delayed compare to sound, it would confirm that it's the video 
acceleration that is wrong.

Thanks !
