Google Photos crash May be due to libstagefright issue

[davidep]

At least on a clean CM build 13.09( but this issue is happening since long time.... ) I also opened the issue on google photos forum [url]https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/photos/KQixIMrEszc[/url]

The app is crashing randomly even when it is running in the background.

Google Photos app is known to cause problems, though I don't know the exact cause. Other video players (MX,...) work fine though.

yes different video players works fine, but is not clear what is making the app crashing even without playing any videos. I posted several crash and eventlogs here

After several full wipe followed by the installation of the last [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php"]openGapps [/URL]available, the problem persists: Google photos crash after a while, without any windows popping up anymore to report the crash, as it was happening before the first full wipe.

I'm wondering if the last Gapps bundle might cause additional problems (last tested was ARM64, micro 20161011), and if so if there is a specific version recommended with the last ROM available (built 20161009)
