Thanks.
Any plans for the future?

What if I would set a high priority for my audio filter, is it possible that I have this audio filter's output as a default, regardless of the preferences?

To me the h.264 videos play but they're choppy and slow, basically don't work. Hardware acceleration doesn't help (strange?).
CPU is 1GHz and I downloaded from somewhere a prebuilt older version which works fine.
I built from the latest git source.

Any info on why this might be like this?? Thanks

I see that the VLC for Android has only directory selection and Enable Hardware Acceleration in the preferences.
Is there no way to use modules like in the "normal" version? Like the equalizer audio filter etc.?

billbylake, thanks soo much for the heads up! Indeed, exporting ANDROID_LIBS and HEADERS was in the script but it wasn't executed for some reason :roll: I was also trying to build step by step , but never started from the first step actually cause I thought everything up to "make" complete...

Ok, android's Bionic C library comes with its own pthread implementation bundled in. It does not support pthread_cancel or similar... But ok, I still don't know how to get around this issue. So vlc is trying to build thread.c from vlc/src/posix and it's relying on pthread.h which is in android-ndk, ...

autoreconf --verbose --install solved the faad2 problem.. I managed to get to the part where configure.sh is run extras/package/android/configure.sh BUT a new error (of course) and no clue on this one. checking media/stagefright/OMXClient.h usability... no checking media/stagefright/OMXClient.h pres...

btw, I googled out the exact same output I get, here:

but no solution...Anyone ?

Yes, I have all the tools. Libtool, autoconf, automake, cmake, wget, subversion, pkgconfig, gettext......

That's why I don't understand..the error's like there would be no libtool but it was even used previously for other libs..

hm, ok... "make clean" seems to have done the trick for this but, now a new problem :( error while building faad2 lib configure.in:14: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. Any ...

Hello, I'm having problems building the contribs for vlc for android. I followed the procedure 1. install sdk 2. unpack ndk 3. install eclipse and ADT 4. get source from git ..and the thing breaks at building contribs, specifically libz. cp libz.a /home/.... - that goes ok but then cp /home/.... cp:...

ah, I didn't know that AOUT_FMT_SIMILAR checks only i_rate and channel numbers and so I left it from my previous filter implementation...I should be more careful.

thank you

I guess the question is how do I get my formats to be the same?

hm..I set the priority to ("audio filter", 10) just like simple_channel_mixer...If the priority is different then it just takes simple_channel_mixer. But with priority set to 10 I get silence cause it says it cannot find a filter for conversion. myFilter warning: input and output formats a...

Great. Thank You.
But is there some kind of signalling that my plugin is "downmix capable" or is it automatically? How will it know that it can use this one for downmixing?

Hi, I have a short question: I made my own audio filter but now I would also like to do my own downmixing from 5.1 -> stereo, preferably all in the same audio_filter module. How can I force the vlc to use my algorithm not float32_mixer or simple_channel_mixer or other..What is the deciding mechanism...

I was completely blind to the "All" radio button down there :? :? :oops: sorry Now, if you could just spend two more words answering my other question, that would be nice, where could I find spatializer gui code, I really don't see it ? (which you could have done immediately and we would b...

Yes I have, but your answer got me confused. Cause if you mean Tools->Preferences, there is nothing there generated, for spatializer example or any other. I need a gui for my parameters for real-time control. Not sure how preferences come into play here. But I also couldn't find source code containi...

I would not be asking without searching before. I have opened in front of me and read every bit of documentation there is on vlc module making (maybe I have missed something that I haven't found, but I have been searching). Also, if your answers weren't like max 5 words per post, I wouldn't be confu...

I'm not getting far hear. Can someone please help me by answering a simple thing..or pointing to the right direction. How can I add a filter without recompiling it's code..How do I use my existing libs to add an audio_filter, whether it's static lib or dll. If I have a dll what do I do with it? Than...

What do you mean by preferences?

Do you know then where could I find the source for the spatializer GUI for instance, or that equalizer ? for a template, please
I couldn't find them

which options should I check?
I can't get the gui in "Effects and filters". I did everything like in spatializer.c

thnx

is the gui for the audio filters provided by the host (player) by setting some params or is it completely separate...
shortly, how do i provide GUI with user parameters for real-time control to my VLC module (audio filter)

thnx!

Thanks for the reply Remi, but I'm not sure I get it. In the audio_filter/converter folder, a52tofloat32 is no different than other examples? I see some dll's in the libs folder. How exactly can I link my static libs? what would be the correct procedure... Other thing is, so If I link my libs dynami...

Hi all, I'm looking into vlc modules development and am trying to include a simple delay module into vlc player. I looked through "hacker's guide" and got the basics there but I have some questions, hoping someone can help me. So I understand, following the simple example, I can just write...
