Hmm, I'd guess 60fps material is starving the audio renderer even at 480p. We only spin up an extra thread for >= 720p decoding.

That said, I'm surprised that 480p decodes are enough to saturate the media thread on the S5 though. +fgalligan, +jzern in case there's something odd about our encodes / if that's less than expected performance.

Frank, can you collect a trace from this device so we can see how long each video decode is taking?

So you want us to collect a trace in clank on an S5? Or try a raw decode? Then we will need to know which S5?

But I don't understand why you think that is a perf issue.

It works fine on 720p60, even with 4 threads for 720p vs 2 threads for 480p, 720p has more than 2x the pixels of 480p, so in general if it can play the 720p60 then it should be able to play the 480p60.

But even if we assume it has something to do with that 480p file, it works fine with MSE. Are they using 2 different decoders at this point?

Err, sorry fgalligan@, I should have said liberato@ who is also a Frank :)

I seems not repro this on 6/23 A/V automation run.
