Description

Attachment: Samsung Galaxy SII (Android 4.0.4) (Nightly 10/03) - Screenshot

Using the test-case in the bug URL; will yield varying results from the OMXCodec playback (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) with following results.

* Samsung Galaxy SII (Android 4.0.4) & Samsung Galaxy Note (Android 4.0.4)
** Hardware decoding: visible green layer, see attached screenshot
** Software decoding: no issues

Aurora is affected, so this is not any regression from bug 784329.

If a video has green bars or "ghosting", that means we need to write a color conversion function for that particular device's hardware decoder.

We may find that this bug is a dupe of Galaxy S III bug 785275. The Galaxy Note, S II, and S III have similar chipsets, but I've read that their hardware decoders may each have different "quirks" we need to work around.
