S5 mini: Seeking does not work for SD content only

[nosyjoe]

On a S5 mini, I start by playing the first seconds of the "WV:Clear SD (MP4, H264)" video. Then I seek using the seeker, the video is paused but the video never starts playing at the new position ever.

When I do the same with the HD version, "WV:Clear HD (MP4, H264)", seeking works without problem.

As a third test I tried seeking on the adaptive video, "WV:Clear SD & HD (MP4, H264)", which does not work while it's still playing the SD video. once it switches to HD, seeking works.

exoplayer version: both 1.5.3 and current dev head (df7a96a)
Device: Samsung S5 mini SM-G800F
Android Version: 4.4.2

update: seeking in sd doesn't work for 240p/800kbps. once the stream switches to 480p/2000kbps seeking is possible

same results for tests with "WV: Secure SD (MP4,H264)"

Sounds pretty much the same as #603 (the power of search ;)). Does the workaround described there work in this case also?

Note. An equivalent and simpler workaround on the dev branch would be to have MediaCodecTrackRenderer.codecNeedsFlushWorkaround return true for S5 Mini. Please test locally and see whether that helps.

hey ojw28, yup, seems to be a duplicate - I will use the search next time, sorry ;) I'll use the original issue for further comments on the issue
