Custom codec plugin for Android build?

[Wohlstand]

Hello!
I have a quick question related on a custom codec plugin I want to add into VLC. Is a way to add a separately-built codec plugin into existing Android installation or I must to build the VLC from source with pre-including of my plugin into it?

Hi,

It wouldn't be really secure to have such a feature, we would only allow to load binary codec from apk signed with our key on the official Android application.

I believe building VLC from source with your codec is your only viable option.

Okay, so, I'll try to build VLC from the source. So, bye-bye auto-updates...
But thanks for the explanation!
