Hello XDA, I am user of Moto E and I frequently jump from ROMs to test the stability, performance and bugs of all ROMs I can try.
I watch a lot of TV Series and one of the newer trends is HEVC aka h265 aka x265. This codec enables use to watch HD videos in half the size without losing much quality.
Coming to point, as we know that Moto E as well as Moto G 2014 does not natively supports HEVC playback but all custom ROMs(I really mean all) based on Android Lollipop or above, can play 720p HD HEVC videos smoothly on our device.
It was all going good until 12th May.
I was using Mokee ROM, build 11 May 2016. Then I installed the OTA for 12 May. And bam, HEVC playback is screwed now.
At first I thought this problem was exclusive to Mokee ROM but turns out ALL the ROMs built after 12 May 2016 have this bug.
I have tested and confirmed that the bug exists on: Cyanogenmod 13, Mokee 6.0.1, Resurrection Remix 5.5.9, AOSP CAF, Krexus.
It is a systemwide problem, not just of a media player.
So, I request the devs to have a look at commits made on or before 12th May that affect video playback. or are related to it.
If this is not fixed then many of us will not be using newer builds.
I have attached a screenshot of the problem. To reproduce this bug, just play any hevc video and you will notice a green colored overlapping.
