VLC on Android

[craigacgomez]

I've been trying to make the modifications needed to run VLC on ARMv7 devices without NEON... like Tegra 2 powered devices... I have a Viewsonic GTablet which has a Tegra 2 chipset and I've made these changes in configure.sh...

Code: Select all

if [ -z "$NO_NEON" ]; then CXX_TARGET="armeabi-v7a" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -mfpu=neon -mtune=cortex-a8 -ftree-vectorize -mvectorize-with-neon-quad" LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -Wl,--fix-cortex-a8" EXTRA_PARAMS="" else CXX_TARGET="armeabi-v7a" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wa,-march=armv7a -mtune=cortex-a9 -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mthumb-interwork" EXTRA_PARAMS=" --disable-neon" fi

yeah! I replaced the ARMv6 section... I've built successfully built and run VLC on my GTablet... on Froyo, everything seem to work fine... 720p video with audio... however, on Honeycomb (yes, it's a hacked port), video works fine but there is no audio... any particular reason why audio is broken or is it just an issue with Honeycomb??

Please share a patch.

Just to confirm that below amendment to configure.sh :

Code: Select all

if [ -z "$NO_NEON" ]; then CXX_TARGET="armeabi-v7a" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -mfpu=neon -mtune=cortex-a8 -ftree-vectorize -mvectorize-with-neon-quad" LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -Wl,--fix-cortex-a8" EXTRA_PARAMS="" else CXX_TARGET="armeabi-v7a" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wa,-march=armv7a -mtune=cortex-a9 -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mthumb-interwork" EXTRA_PARAMS=" --disable-neon" fi

enables VLC to work fine, video and audio, on Iconia Tab (Tegra 2, non-NEON) running Honeycomb 3.2.

Same here: black screen and crash......
......
Solved this by replacing line (125) in the file extras/package/android/vlc-android/src/org/videolan/vlc/android/DatabaseManager.java :

PLAYLIST_MEDIA_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL AUTOINCREMENT, " +
by
PLAYLIST_MEDIA_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL, " +

Gosh i missed this, should have come here earlier, I had exactly the same problem!!!
After trying for sometime I took and tried to build a new version from http://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile and now blocked by JNI compilation error like below:

Code: Select all

I checked earlier post and there were a couple of similar but not the same problems, does not seem helpful.
Anybody can give me a hand? need to pass the build baddly. Many thanks!
