Public bug reported: Hey,
Jim Hodapp just finalized the work to get hardware accelerated video decode & rendering using the Android libstagefright (HAL that provides hw decode for Android). This allow us having hw accelerated video decode in Ubuntu Touch without depending on the Android MediaPlayer service (the new solution just depends on the libstagefright libraries instead). You can check more details about the implementation and planning at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/client-1303-hw-video- decode-rendering-support As the work was just completed, it's still not available in upstream, this FFe request would be to have it as a distro patch for 13.10 until Jim is able to start the upstreaming process for it. The extra code would be enabled just for armhf and i386 (only tested at armhf though), and it doesn't modify any of the existing plugins in the package. List of extra plugins/files: /usr/lib/*/gstreamer-1.0/libgstandroidmedia.so /usr/lib/*/gstreamer-1.0/libgstmirsink.so /usr/lib/*/libgstmiralloc-1.0.so.0.104.0 And the debdiff (I can push myself once approved): http://people.canonical.com/~rsalveti/gst-plugins- bad1.0_1.1.4-2ubuntu2.debdiff ** Affects: gst-plugins-bad1.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1224665 Title: [FFe] Android media support over hybris for gst-plugins-bad1.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-bad1.0/+bug/1224665/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
