Can you please attach the logs as attachments next time? Thanks :)


Which phones are this specifically? It seems to work just fine here.
Which version of GStreamer are you testing?

It might also make sense to test with playbin and 1.7.90.

In any case, can you get logs with amc*:7 and attach them? With 1.7.90,
and using playbin once, and "uridecodebin ! glimagesink" another time?
