Android 4.x goes blackscreen with OSMF video

When autoOrients is true or manual stage orientation is changed Adobe AIR application looses view surface and goes blackscreen. The problem happens only on Android 4.x devices but with massive upgrade going on the more and more users meet this problem.

In Android logs I see continous OverlayLIB SET failed.

Hi,

It seems that this magic patch (for many problems on ICS) correct this problem:

you can put <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="11"/> in <manifest>

Bad news:

There is an other black sreen with OSMF and AIR 3.x on ICS 4.0.x:

https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FM-1534

And, there is no workaround for this problem...

Hi Philippe,

This magic patch :-) is really good.

I hope Adobe will update AIR for Android soon as it is very annoying limitation of AIR apps for Android.

Thanks,

Denis.

I have submitted a bug report and even prepared a small demo project - https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3174519. Has someone faced this issue?

Any reason you wouldn't rather open up a StageWebView and display the video there using the GPU?

I need a bunch of Adobe Flash Platform features. Dynamic Streaming and Adobe Access are just two of them.
