hello,
great that you made a version for android, it actually runs on the android ICS tablet i'm testing on, but the videos framerate is really slow.
so. i try to introduce the allwinner/cedarv hardware acceleration library in xbmc and i tested the xbmca10 branch that achieves this for linux, unfortunately, it doesn't run on android and i get black screens ( i guess i have to make an AndroidVideoRenderer and not use the Linux one ).
does anyone tried to do this before or can give some hints to know where to start?
regards,
sevy, android developper

oh just some little progress, i understood that i had to change the Linux renderer that was accessing the frame buffer with ioctls by and GLES renderer like what is used in xbmc android, but now the screen is green so it might be a decoding issue or a colorspace issue, anyone?
ragrds,

i could make a build that runs on android ICS, apparently my error was to compile with an android 9 toolchain and you should use an android 14 toolchain

yes videos are hw accelerated and decoding uses cedar library, take the xbmca10 branch, but my tablet is rooted, i'm not sure it runs on non rooted android, i make it for a specific OS and cannot publish this version as it is.

hello,
no, there is almost no modification to the xbmca10 branch, i just said i compiled it with the right toolchain to make it work, that's all.
i also don't know how to participate in the git if i come one day to fix some bugs or optimize some things, i don't know how to join xbmc team.
regards,

hola,
sorry i didn't see the message of Justin from Skytex, but he resumes the thing that the version i'm working on is still not very stable to be comitted and it should be comitted in the xbmca10 branch, as some things might be specific to that chipset.
we'll let you know when things will get stable and i would like to contact empat0 to know how to proceed with commits.
regards,
sevy

I'm also interested on how to build xbmca10 to android with cedarv hw acceleration.
Maybe if you commit the non stable version on empatzero's repository, there will be other people that will help getting an android version faster.
I'll gladly help if I can
