That was a bug, fixed by https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,85675

Maybe it could be indicated with the custom video surface class that it would accept such a texture format, somehow. 


The reason we copy the frames to a FBO is that Android uses a shared buffer pool for all media player instances. When having several media players playing simultaneously, one can overwrite the frames of another currently being displayed... The FBO solves this problem.
