After new tests, freshly cloned git repo, and a simple Activity that 
reads a local video from its assets, i still get the same issue and a 
blank screen. The relevant logs are:

D/VLC﹕ [64227c04] core window: looking for vout window module matching 
"any": 1 candidates
D/VLC﹕ [64227c04] core window: no vout window modules matched
D/VLC﹕ [62b1dc04] core video output: Opening vout display wrapper
D/VLC﹕ [62baf2f4] core vout display: looking for vout display module 
matching "androidsurface": 4 candidates
E/VLC﹕ [62baf2f4] android_surface vout display: Could not initialize 
libandroid.so/libui.so/libgui.so/libsurfaceflinger_client.so!
D/VLC﹕ [62baf2f4] core vout display: no vout display modules matched
E/VLC﹕ [62b1dc04] core video output: video output creation failed
D/VLC﹕ [62b8c09c] core spu text: removing module "freetype"
D/VLC﹕ [62b9dcfc] core scale: removing module "yuvp"
D/VLC﹕ [62b997b4] core scale: removing module "swscale"
E/VLC﹕ [62b25eb4] core decoder: failed to create video output
W/VLC﹕ [62b25eb4] mediacodec decoder: NewPicture failed
I/EVENT﹕ MediaPlayerVout

I confess i have no further idea to try to fix that, but i will re-read 
again the VidePlayerActivity of VLC to understad why my simple Activity 
fails displaying the video.

Thanks for any suggestion.
