some channels did not show video with OpenMax, only Audio.
changing the Playback to MediaPlayer+ solved this, they are shown Video and Audio

This caused another problem, whenever I am watching channel with MediaPlayer+ decoder, then change to channel usng OpenMax, the app crashes

For now I chose all my decoders to be MediaPlayer+, while they were all OpenMax in default settings

Is there drawback for this?
is MediaPlayer+ same as HW+ on other devices?

mp+ quite complex mode. Try FFMpeg or mediacodecs.

Ok, here is what get

- for decoding h.265 I cannot choose FFMpeg, I can only choose between 3 choices
OpenMax, MP+, OMX MTK ..

- but from choosing inside each channel Edit mode > PlayBack, I can get all choices
MP, ExoP, OpenMAX, FFmpeg, MP+, OMX MTK

but it does not make sense to choose every 265 channel alone to change the PlayBack mode for them

- I can change the Engine and choose
ProgDVB, MP, ExoP, External

- ExoP is by far the fastest to tart the channel, and t seems to open all channels, but I don't know what is the catch, probably t does not buffer?

- MP+ is a bit slow to open channels, but it opens all channels

Sorry for all these notes, just trying to make the best out of the App

Of course Different modes work differently.

h.265 in ffmpeg not good idea because request very power CPU.

so is there a way to choose different decoders for h.265 from the main general decoder page other than OpenMax, MP+, OMX ?
these decoders are not working properly
I can choose different decoder for each channel alone, but this is lots of work
and choosing EXOP for all formats is causing some channels to have interruptions without buffer

Same problem for me. I am looking external codec.
