VLC on android with dual-core

Postby levyitay » 20 Feb 2012 17:40

Hi all,

Is there any flag I need to add to make VLC use dual core?
Im trying to play HD Ready file and Full HD on Samsung 10.1 and it fails.. kinda leggy
Is there any flag I can add either to the init in the jni or the to the compile process that can make vlc library work with dual core?

Thanks,
Itay

Use HW decoding on Tegra.

how do I enable HW decoding?
are you talking about IOMX? cause it's very unstable.

Very probable.

Tegra has no NEON so it is crazy slow without IOMX.

are there any options I can add to init and that will make decoding much faster (I don't mind lower quality)
