Reproduction steps

Hello, I encountered a problem when writing a project. When playing h264-encoded TS videos, some devices cannot use the hardware decoder for decoding, and all devices can use the software decoder (c2.android.avc.decoder) for decoding.(I have added support for mp2 via FFmpeg.)

The detailed decoding information is as follows:

Devices that successfully decode using the hardware decoder:

• Chromecast with Google TV (Android 12): OMX.amlogic.avc.decoder.awesome
• Pixel 8 Pro (Android 15): c2.exynos.h264.decoder
• Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro (Android 15): c2.qti.avc.decoder
• Hisense TV (Android 11): OMX.amlogic.avc.decoder.awesome2

Devices that cannot decode using the hardware decoder:

• Google TV Streamer (Android 14): c2.mtk.avc.decoder
• Pixel 4 XL (Android 13): c2.qti.avc.decoder
• Pixel 3 XL (Android 12): c2.qti.avc.decoder

I personally speculate whether this is related to the hardware and drivers of a specific device, and I hope to get further answers.

Expected result

The media plays successfully

Actual result

The screen keeps black, also without sound. On Google TV Streamer, the picture sometimes appears, but it is very choppy (one frame for tens of seconds) , and the rest of the time it is a black screen.
