hi, I just got around to trying this on my pixel 7 andriod 14. the menu's look fine and when i play a recording, the sound is fine as well, however, i just get a black screen, no video....

am i doing something wrong? thanks

Some phones do not support MPEG2 decoding. If you play a H264 or H265 recording it will work.

tonyguadagno commented 9 months ago

ok, got it, is there anything you can install to make the phone decode mpeg2? a software package etc?

thanks anyway!

There is something i n the works in Exoplayer called ExperimentalFfmpegVideoRenderer which may support it. It only exists in the development branch at the moment, whereas I use the release branch.

tonyguadagno commented 9 months ago

ok, good to know.

thanks again

ExperimentalFfmpegVideoRenderer was last worked on 2 years ago, so I don't hold out much hope. The code is just a skeleton of what is needed.
