MediaCodec.setOutputSurface SberBox

Version

Media3 main branch

More version details

I have bug similar to issue #8329 which addressed MediaCodec format handling, this enhancement would add proactive Surface state management to prevent common MediaCodec crashes.

The most common crash pattern we observe:

androidx.media3.exoplayer.ExoPlaybackException: Unexpected runtime error
    Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
        at android.media.MediaCodec.native_setSurface(Native Method)
        at android.media.MediaCodec.setOutputSurface(MediaCodec.java:1979)
        at androidx.media3.exoplayer.mediacodec.SynchronousMediaCodecAdapter.setOutputSurface
        at androidx.media3.exoplayer.video.MediaCodecVideoRenderer.setOutputSurfaceV23


This is a known bug of some implementations of some platform video codecs. ExoPlayer can not fix it, only workaround it by releasing the codec and then re-initializing it instead of setting the outputSurface:
ExoPlayer/library/core/src/main/java/com/google/android/exoplayer2/video/MediaCodecVideoRenderer.java


I create pull request for add needed Util.Device value (sberbox) in function evaluateDeviceNeedsSetOutputSurfaceWorkaround
