Description

Hi,

We have live media where there is running text from right to left at the bottom of the video

While using this media in Exo Player on Android TV box(especially) we can see video looks ok but the running text is moving from side to side (shaking - that makes you dizzy )or getting stuck for fraction of second

Our media experts says that it is ingested correctly and the media is just fine

I am not sure where issue is and would much appreciate if you could point me for the root cause of this issue.
if is it decoders limitations or frames skips or live packets sync or frame rate
or if there are any steps Exo Player API can help to make the text running stable and constantly running in fluent manner

this media has 1 50fps(5.4Mbps) track and 25fps tracks in lower bitrates

While playing the media I can see in the log cat errors regarding the decoders that are being used
I tried the other decoder in the device instead the awsome2 decoder but I could only see it got worst.
