Hi,

the last nightlies apk was on 2nd july, please restart the process https://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/.

Thanks!

android.media.MediaPlayer and android.media.MediaCodec support that stream. I'll try to find another stream example.

Stream example: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xwvlqcbisfstpo9/Redlight%20HD%282015-01-07__09-45%29.ts On 4.4.4 all VLC versions (beta, release, nighties) can't decode it in HW mode. On 5.0.2 vlc crashed with the following error message: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ynj2noed310unk/2014-12-28%2009....

Sure. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xwvl ... 9-45%29.ts

Hi,

VLC has long time problems on Nexus 10 on all versions.

1. Android 4.4.4: VLC shows that HW acceleration isn't possible and the use software decoder.
2. Android 5.0.2: just crashed.

Are they known problems?

ARM v7 nightly build stopped rolling out again.

The problem that you can't switch VLC to SW decoding in VLC application (and the user gets the sound only because VLC changes HW_ACCELERATION_AUTOMATIC -> HW_ACCELERATION_FULL automatically and not to HW_ACCELERATION_DISABLED as before).

O, very nice! The ticket will be 2 years old very soon It's time to learn how to compile VLC libs for android and fix it myself.

Hi,

I know that there's the option in desktop VLC to add delay to audio in msec (audio desynchronisation compensation). It's very userful on Rockchip 3188 SoC, because there are always a small delay in audio for live streams. Is it possible to add that option to the android VLC?

Thanks.

You're right - it's the only way to get any video output usin VLC on amlogic SoC at the moment - and it's way better than the blck screen By the way - have you tried to report amlogics devs about the problem (MediaCodec interface)?

You're right - if VLC is started from external application 'content', it shows URL as a title - and it looks ugly :) In order to show the external "itemTitle" we need to make some changes in org\videolan\vlc\gui\video\VideoPlayerActivity.java: 1. // Try to get the position if(getIntent().g...

The only solution that I've found it to disable HW acceleration for amlogic devices - so now I have smooth video and audio on most HD streams (not on all). In order to fix VLC sources you need to patch HWDecoderUtil.java: new DecoderBySOC ("ro.hardware", Decoder.NONE, new String[] { "...

@Nysochn,

wrong topic I'm afraid, but I think you forgot to add compiled vlc libs libvlc-android-sample\libs\armeabi-v7a:

libiomx-gingerbread.so
libiomx-hc.so
libiomx-ics.so
libvlcjni.so

you can extract them from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/ apks

You're right - software decoding (HW_ACCELERATION_DISABLED) works fine on amlogic ever for HD 1080i iptv streams. Why VLC doesn't switch from HW_ACCELERATION_AUTOMATIC to HW_ACCELERATION_DISABLED on amlogic as before? By the way it's ro.board.platform=meson8 (for MiniX neo 8) or ro.hardware=amlogic ...

How to change VLC title - now it shows URL , but it's better to set intent.putExtra("itemTitle", "Title") or intent.putExtra("title", "Title") like in MX Player.

XBMC has their own module to handle amlogic. I know, but MX Player has the same codec and it just works :) Anyway back to VLC - I've found that old vlc version works on amlogic!!! D/VLC ( 3998): core libvlc: VLC media player - 2.2.0-git Weatherwax D/VLC ( 3998): core libvlc: Copyright © 1996-2014 t...

We don't support #2 as of now since Amlogic doesn't use MediaCodec. Back to the problem - got MINIX NEO X8-H today (would say - the best android box of the 2014) and VLC still doesn't support it. It looks strange (I understand that "Amlogic doesn't use MediaCodec" etc) but MX Player works...

Does the stream play fine on desktop?

Yes, it hasn't any sync problems on desktop, on Nexus 5 and Nexus 10. By the way - stock player and MX Palyer haven't such problem on Rockchip RK3188 SoC.

Due to the problem with audio delay on Rockchip RK3188 SoC: I've uploaded logcat it shows that I use core libvlc: revision 2.2.0-pre3-33-g465acb4. Is any new version that I can test or should I compile vlc libs myself or maybe there is any nightly builds of android libs?

Hi,

Have the following problems:

1. Android Box (Rockchip RK3188 SoC) - sound and video async.
2. Android Box (Amlogic s802 SoC) - no video, only sound.
3. Nexus 10 (CM 11) - got the dialog 'HW decoding failed'

Should I start debug build and post some additional info?
