Stagevideo On Android Nexus 7 Shows A Black Square

StageVideo in Adobe AIR 15, on a Nexus 7 with Android 4.4.3, exporting in both GPU and DIRECT, shows a black square instead of received video. It is a P2P RTMFP Video Chat. Same pr

Solution 1:

The stage video is switching a render state. It's an annoying bug, and this is what you can do as a patch.

1. Try to play.
2. if RENDER_STATE has changed to UNAVAILABLE or SOFTWARE, play again!

This will cause black flickering and not the best UX, but the clip will play after a second or 2.

_stageVideo.addEventListener(StageVideoEvent.RENDER_STATE, function(e:StageVideoEvent):void{
                trace ("RENDER STATE: ", e.status);
                if (e.status == VideoStatus.UNAVAILABLE || e.status == VideoStatus.SOFTWARE)
                {
                    _ns.play(_videoURL);
                }
            });
