Problems getting SurfaceTexture work with Android Videoplayer on MALI 400

Note: This was originally posted on 5th April 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi,

I've written an application which is rendering video into a texture basically using the code found as attachment.

This example works perferctly fine on a mobile device and on a tablet - both based on a Tegra. I've then tried the same code on a MALI 400 based android system (Minix Neo5) and I can see that the video plays but I get mainly a black screen with some garbage on it (just 3 or 4 lines)



public class VideoSurfaceView extends GLSurfaceView {

    VideoRender mRenderer;
    private MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer = null;

    public VideoSurfaceView(Context context, MediaPlayer mp) {
        super(context);

        setEGLContextClientVersion(2);
        mMediaPlayer = mp;
        mRenderer = new VideoRender(context);
        setRenderer(mRenderer);
        mRenderer.setMediaPlayer(mMediaPlayer);
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        queueEvent(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                    mRenderer.setMediaPlayer(mMediaPlayer);
                }});

        super.onResume();

I've tried to use the OpenGL ES tracer to check what is copied from the SurfaceTexture back to the texture itself but it looks like the Tracer cannot show it correctly (neither on the tegra systems nor on the tegra devices. Note that I don't get any OpenGL error nor any warnings whatsover. It looks like everything is working fine.

Is there any other tool that can show me what if anything is copied to the TEXTURE_EXTERNAL ? All TEXTURE_2D are available on the tracer.

One strange thing I've noticed on the MALI system is that it can't play high-def videos at all. And my videos 1280x720 report on the debuger that they are using a SoftwareRenderer. Perhaps that's why the frames are not copied correctly to the OGL_IMAGE that will be used as a texture.

I guess I need some better understanding of what's going on under the hood, but I expected an error telling the system can't do it or it should simply work, even if the performance would be bad.

I'm attaching the source code for the testing app I've written.

I could confirm the error reported by Marco with two devices:
- Gadmei E8-3D (Android 4.0.4)
- M3 Enjoy TV Box (Android 4.0.4)

Thanks for the reply, meanwhile I've tested on an additional MALI 400 device:

- Point of View 10" Protab 3XXL, Android 4.1

No success here as well. Same problem.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 has a PowerVR! So I guess it's a Mali problem as the test app runs on nVidia Tegra 3 as well.

EDIT:
By the way, I've played around with:

[size=2][/size] GLES20.glDisable(GLES20.GL_CULL_FACE); GLES20.glFrontFace(GLES20.GL_CCW);

No success.

Edit 22.04
I've now tested on a google nexus 10 (Mali T-604) and it works fine.
