Description
I am working with the iStick A200 (PQLabs ANdroid stick) and wanted to test the video player example. It worked great on the emulator (using auto instead of external in the manifest) but when I launch it on the device I can only see 1 line of pixel flickering.
The movie is loaded without problem, I can even see the resolution is OK and I have no problem reading it with the basic videoplayer.
As the iStick is not supported on OSX I can't monitor it with logcat and I have to copy the .apk on the device to test. So I can't copy the log. But it looks just fine.
Any idea? Did you have more luck on another device?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the video player example on the iStick A200, comparing it with the emulator configuration and the manifest setting that uses auto instead of external. Read the video player example and compare it with the basic videoplayer that works on the device. Done means video renders correctly on the device rather than showing a line of flickering pixels.
