I am running into an issue in my Android app where Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Edge, and some other devices crash when trying to play H.264 video streamed from a server. I'm fairly certain that the H.264 video is correct, as the same video works using the same decoder on other devices. In addition, the devices that are crashing support the decoder that I'm using.
It doesn't crash in my source code, but it does crash the app. Has anyone ever run into this issue? If so, could you give me some help on what I could do to figure out what is happening? Here's the message I'm getting from the Developer Console in Google Play:

  • Could you provide the names of some devices that have this problem? – Alex Cohn Oct 24 '15 at 18:34

    @AlexCohn: you can take the device ID from the build fingerprint (`trltevzw`) and google for it -- it appears to be a Galaxy Note 4. @user1532208: that's an assertion failure in libstagefright, which probably indicates a bug in the platform -- but sometimes OEMs tweak the platform to "improve" it. I take it from the tags you're playing the video with MediaCodec? – fadden Oct 24 '15 at 22:22

    Yes, I'm using MediaCodec. Alll of the crashes reported by Goolge Play seem to be on Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge. It is important to note that I also get crashing on Nexus 7, but not Nexus 5 -- both running vanilla Android 6.0 and using the same codec, but made by different manufacturers. – user1532208 Oct 25 '15 at 19:08
  • Have you tried to play this same video locally on same device? – Alex Cohn Oct 25 '15 at 19:47
  • @AlexCohn I will try playing the video locally. – user1532208 Oct 26 '15 at 14:07
  • I have a Galaxy Note 4 from Sprint running 5.1.1 that has the same issue. – steji113 Mar 30 '16 at 23:21
