I'm trying to play an mp4 video rendered on a TextureView, it's working on API LEVEL >= 21 (after Lollipop), but on previous versions it's not playing. I'm getting the following error in the logcat: error (1, -2147483648). I think this is an unknown error (as far I know).
The file is loaded from the assets folder.
private MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedState) {
super.onCreate(savedState);
TextureView textureView = (TextureView) findViewById(R.id.textureView);
textureView.setSurfaceTextureListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onSurfaceTextureAvailable(SurfaceTexture txtSurface, final int width, final int height) {
Surface surface = new Surface(txtSurface);
mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
AssetFileDescriptor afd = getAssets().openFd("video/test.mp4");
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(), afd.getStartOffset(), afd.getLength());
mMediaPlayer.setSurface(surface);
mMediaPlayer.setLooping(false);
mMediaPlayer.setVolume(0f, 0f);
mMediaPlayer.setVideoScalingMode(MediaPlayer.VIDEO_SCALING_MODE_SCALE_TO_FIT_WITH_CROPPING);
mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mMediaPlayer.start();
}
});
mMediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
}
The surface's size is: 768x1280 and the video size is: 350x500 px. I have also tried to resize the video (creating new videos) in different sizes: 768x1280, 1080x1920 and 4k. What's causing the error? The aspect ratio or the different device/video resolution?
I'm getting the following messages in logcat while the file is getting prepared:

The video was created using Adobe After Effects and saved as .AVI file, after that imported to Adobe Premier Pro and exported to .mp4(H.264)
It looks like that the exported file doesn't have a valid profile. The listed media formats shows as that the only supported profile is the Baseline Profile for H.264.
To add a baseline profile, you need to add it by downloading ffmpeg and creating a new mp4 file with the following command line:
ffmpeg.exe -i your_file.mp4 -c:v libx264 -profile:v baseline -level 1 new_file_name.mp4
