App constantly crashes Android 8.0

[HDRock]

The latest app update **Android V2.5.36 (Release date: October 8, 2019)**doesn’t have a hardware decoder button to turn it on or off

Why was Android hardware decoding removed?

I am writing to ask why Android hardware decoding was removed? Was it intentional? If so, I will be returning my 12 cameras which are now for all practical purposes unusable. Don’t think I will pay extra for that. I won’t. Put it back WYZE.
