The Android Q preview released on March 14th 2019 comes with changes to storage access, requiring that any access to storage is done through the Storage Access Framework. From what I've gathered so far, file descriptors and fdopen still work in native code, but I have not seen any official word on w...

It's possible to provide a separate surface to libVLC for subpicture rendering, but the opengl vout does not render to the second surface. Subpictures are rendered in one pass after the video. The android_display vout renders subpictures to the second surface though. I've experimented with modifying...

I'm making a VR video player for Android based on libvlc. In the beginning I was using the android_display vout, but somewhere around 1.7.x (not sure exactly when) VLC focus changed to use the opengl vout, and arount the same time there was a notable performance degradation in the android_display vo...

Tested and working now. Turned out I also had to make sure that BuildRectangle was called for all projection modes in SetupCoords.

Nevermind, I think I found the right thread to pull. I also realized I might want to keep the viewpoint support for spatial audio, just convince libVLC not to apply it to the video output. It looks like modifying getViewpointMatrixes in modules/video_output/opengl/vout_helper.c to always return iden...

Ok, that's unfortunate, thanks for letting me know. I will try to find out where to disable it in the code. Any hints to roughly where in the code base the transformation is applied? I'm still not very familiar with the inner workings of libVLC. I found something in ffmpeg regarding reading the meta...

Hello! I'm trying to use libVLC on Android to play video in VR. I render the video to a texture, and provide my own geometry. Ironically enough videos that contain Spatial Media Metadata don't work. LibVLC does its own spherical rendering and only gives me cropped output. I'm looking for a way to in...
