Video image corrupted when FFMpegMovieViewAndroid display screen set to landscape mode. (Portrait mode works perfectly!) about ffmpeg

[dcypang]

Did anyone has a solution to this issue ?

I just hacked the issue by fixing the display size to 800x600 on a DROID device. i.e. on FFMpegMovieViewAndroid.java, in openVideo(), add mSurfaceHolder.setFixedSize(800, 600); before mPlayer.setDisplay(mSurfaceHolder);

Confirmed. both fixes from havlenapetr and dcypand work, it solved the video corrupted in landscape mode. Thanks

From: havlenapetr

try this in FFMpegMovieViewAndroid class:

private void openVideo() {
try {
mSurfaceHolder.setFixedSize(800, 600);
mPlayer.setDisplay(mSurfaceHolder);
mPlayer.prepare();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Couldn't prepare player: " + e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Couldn't prepare player: " + e.getMessage());
}
}

The problem is the auto-scaling provided by the OS. Instead of hard-coding the screen size, simply set

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="4"/>

in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
