vlc http stream with android

Question

I compiled vlc for android with version 1.8 and I found a official demo with link: https://bitbucket.org/edwardcw/libvlc-android-sample .It's works fine with localVideo. I try to play a http stream, so I change the code below:

 // Create LibVLC
// TODO: make this more robust, and sync with audio demo
ArrayList<String> options = new ArrayList<String>();
//options.add("--subsdec-encoding <encoding>");
options.add("--aout=opensles");
options.add("--audio-time-stretch"); // time stretching
options.add("-vvv"); // verbosity
libvlc = new LibVLC(options);
libvlc.setOnHardwareAccelerationError(this);
holder.setKeepScreenOn(true);

// Create media player
mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(libvlc);
mMediaPlayer.setEventListener(mPlayerListener);

// Set up video output
final IVLCVout vout = mMediaPlayer.getVLCVout();
vout.setVideoView(mSurface);
//vout.setSubtitlesView(mSurfaceSubtitles);
 vout.addCallback(this);
 vout.attachViews();

//Media m = new Media(libvlc, media);
 Uri uri =  Uri.parse(httpAddress);
  Media m = new Media(libvlc,  uri);
  mMediaPlayer.setMedia(m);
  mMediaPlayer.play();

It's works fine on samsung,android 4.1.2. But it's crash with mi4 mobile. with start, it's has 2 seconds sound without image, then it's crash,just like ANR but stay the black screen for ever. here is the logcat:

more log info where can i find a httpstream demo with vlc complied 1.8? Thanks for your help

Ok,when i close hardware acceleration,it's works fine.I use code media.setHWDecoderEnabled(false, false); — user3193376, Jan 19 '16 at 02:22

Issue of this nature are due to HardwareDecoder on board, this awesome page compiles up all the Decoding capability on Android.

The MediaCodec class first became available in Android 4.1 (API 16).

In Android 4.3 (API 18), MediaCodec was expanded to include a way to provide input through a Surface (via the createInputSurface method).

Even though Android Introduced MediaCodec in a big way on 4.3, not all vendors support them, need to have intelligent Player/Decoder to switch to Software Decoding.

LibVLC does it intelligently but need to manage it through LibVLC Options.
