In our project we are using android MediaPlayer to decode mp4 to a Open GL texture (handled in JNI part) to render dynamic sky domes. We want to replace it with libvlc and extend support to -+.avi mpeg-dash,....
We clone class to change Android MediaPlayer to VLC, code compile and libVLC is initialised OK. But nothing happen in screen, not events are received, not traces in logcat ... Seems as internally not there are any thread working.
Summarizing our code
1 - Setup libVLC
Code: Select all
ArrayList<String> options = new ArrayList<String>();
libVLC = new LibVLC(options);
options.add("-vvv"); // verbosity
libVLC.setOnNativeCrashListener(this);
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(libVLC);
mediaPlayer.setEventListener(this);Code: Select all
if (mediaPath.startsWith("http")) {
media = new Media(libVLC, mediaUri);
this.isLoaded = (media.parse(Media.Parse.FetchNetwork) && getMediaInformation()) || (media.parse(Media.Parse.ParseNetwork) && getMediaInformation());
} else if (mediaPath.startsWith("android.resource://")) {
media = new Media(libVLC, mediaUri);
} else {
media = new Media(libVLC, mediaPath);
this.isLoaded = (media.parse(Media.Parse.FetchLocal) && getMediaInformation()) || (media.parse(Media.Parse.ParseLocal) && getMediaInformation());
} 3 - Set native texture id to SurfaceTexture
Code: Select all
surfaceTextureID = textureID;
surfaceTexture = new SurfaceTexture(surfaceTextureID);
surfaceTexture.setOnFrameAvailableListener(this);
surface = new Surface(surfaceTexture);
surfaceHolder = new SurfaceHolder() {
@Override
public void addCallback(Callback callback) {
Log.d("[VLCVideoPlayer]","[SurfaceHolder::addCallback] Entering method");
synchronized (surfaceholder_callbacks) {

}

}
@Override
