Mediacodec encoding not working

[RandomPerson]

Summary of the bug:
How to reproduce:

% ffmpeg -i video_input -c:v hevc_mediacodec output_video
ffmpeg version 7.1
built on r522817c) clang version 18.0.3 (https://android.googlesource.com/toolchain/llvm-project d8003a456d14a3deb8054cdaa529ffbf02d9b262)

Encoding with mediacodec is the problem, decoding works just fine

So mediacodec encoding just does not work, reaches EOF before even starting according to ffmpeg and exits with a very large negative exit code, no output stream due to that

[RandomPerson]

So I was wrong about the exit code it seems like

This is the default output when starting

[vost#0:0/hevc_mediacodec @ 0x7f39e7b600] Error while opening encoder - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height.

I guess this is the issue fixed by 4c0ef3bfae1473902f8ec8ee0a1a95607827b390, which is on branch the 7.1 branch and master branch, but not released in a new tag yet. Can you test the master branch? Or check whether specify a resolution which isn't aligned to 16 work, like:

ffmpeg -i video_input -c:v hevc_mediacodec -s 1920x1080 output_video

What's the Android OS version? Is it Android 15? Google break mediacodec decoding/encoding without JVM on Android 15, ref. ​https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/11363

oh sorry, forgot to check in here ever since, i don't check my email often, anyways i was running Android 13 running OneUI 5.1 at the time on my Samsung XCover Pro when i was made this ticket.

[Balling]

Then it is some different bug from #11363?

"cannot get MediaCodec hardware encoders/decoders to work on my Pixel 8 Pro (Android 15), while it works perfectly on my Pixel 4a (Android 13)"

[RandomPerson]

Perhaps, looking at issue #11363 closer, the termux output from the OP also showed the device was using an Exynos GPU, so looks like an Exynos GPU decoder problem, considering it worked fine in Chrome. Not sure if the eccbbd528ef63f17575f11a644d549da80bf4b30 fix fixes that since i do not have a mobile device with an Exynos GPU to test on right now.

[RandomPerson]

Oops i meant encoder problem, not decoder problem, my bad.

[Balling]

Termux 13 does not work, this is the limitation of Termux? Does this work now for ypu on android 13 or no, or did you update to new android?

[RandomPerson]

Can't test right now, do not have a mobile device right now since it broke due to water damage.
