[BUG]: Degraded refresh rate using SurfaceView in certain environments

[jessesessler-hh]

Version

6.14.0

What platforms are you having the problem on?

Android

System Version

14

On what device are you experiencing the issue?

Real device

Architecture

Old architecture

What happened?

UI and JS Frames Per Second is degraded on certain devices (notably Samsung and Motorola) running Android 14+

Following this change we noticed a drop in refresh rate for videos playing in certain Android conditions. To mitigate the issue we set the default ViewType back to ViewType.TEXTURE but wanted to raise the issue regardless in case there is anything you can do at the native level.

Thanks!

Reproduction Link

react-native-video "Bare" Example App

Reproduction

Step to reproduce this bug are:

• Run the example "Bare" App
• Open non-DRM video
• Turn on RN built in performance monitor
• Observe UI and JS FPS while video is playing

Screen Recordings from a Samsung Galaxy S23 on latest master. Note the UI and JS FPS numbers

Default	Set viewType={ViewType.TEXTURE}
