Bizarre Android VideoTexture / VideoTextureSurface bug - OS X and iOS work fine

[#1]

Hi all,

We've recently been experimenting with using VideoTexture (via Starling Texture.FromNetStream) to render HLS,H264,AAC video supplied by the mangui flashls library.

Works fine on desktop, also works fine on iOS (when using native HLS, not flashls)

On Android, we can hear the AAC sound but instead of seeing the video, we see a miniature copy of the entire displaylist based interface! The colours don't look right, but it actually updates in real time as the play position moves along the seek bar.

Having enabled error logging on the Context3D we see this stack trace:

W/System.err( 6961): java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: no method with name='getHeight' signature='()I' in class Lcom/adobe/flashruntime/air/VideoTextureSurface;

W/System.err( 6961):     at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)

Has anyone else seen an error like this? We are using the latest AIR 23.

Cheers,
