    Our developer has identified the issue is caused by Multithreaded Rendering option enabled. Disabling it may be a workaround for you until we get a proper fix.

    Is this issue literally just being ignored?

    The problem is still prevailing guys. Please help with a solution.
    The videos seems to be working fine when played with a VideoClip hosted locally, but when a URL hosted on the cloud is played it takes forever the prepare and play.

    This is a terrible bug, why it's still on ? I'm locked on a project because of this.

    ps: multithread rendering was disabled in both cases!!! My video is a 30 seconds one... and it stutters 2 or 3 times during that time... so in average every 10 / 15 seconds.

    I am no longer seeing this issue with patch 5.6.3p4.

    The issue of the missing shader is a separate issue/bug, the stuttering remains a problem.

    Could not find video decode shader pass RGBAExternal_To_RGBA in shader Hidden/VideoDecodeAndroid
    Could not find video decode shader pass RGBASplitExternal_To_RGBA in shader Hidden/VideoDecodeAndroid
    AndroidVideoMedia::VideoDecoder::Blit failed. Decode shader probably unsupported.

    I get this error too

    Again video used to work just fine on 5.6.1p1, this is a regression.
    LogCat from patch 5.6.3p2 (Kindle Fire 5th Gen)

    Could not find video decode shader pass RGBAExternal_To_RGBA in shader Hidden/VideoDecodeAndroid
    Could not find video decode shader pass RGBASplitExternal_To_RGBA in shader Hidden/VideoDecodeAndroid
    AndroidVideoMedia::VideoDecoder::Blit failed. Decode shader probably unsupported.

    I get audio but black screen video on android video player. Have tried numerous formats transcoding on and off.

    Getting error in logcat: Could not find video decode shader pass......Shader probably not supported on this platform.

    Device is Samsung Tab A6 (SM-T280) GLES 2 only.
