That is based off of Tiads cut and paste Blazn if I am correct which was good for video playback but everything else was buggy. This proves HQ can work on our phones.

My question here is wouldnt the Codec that was required by the utube app. be contained within that app. or if it was not when it tried to play back and the codec was missing you would get nothing or a reference to download the required codec such as happens with other operating systems.

Or if the codec is contained in our current version intact. Then it is not referencing the codec properly which goes back to what I originally said about timing and the coordination with the MMS architecture on the phone. It looks as though Tiad had found the proper channeling. Did he leave anyone any information about this before he left this forumn?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
He never gave anyone anything useful from his builds.

He was just slapping stuff together, and would see what stuck to the wall.

I heard people had issues with his builds on HQ youtube, and I even tested his junk and wasn't able to get HQ to work... so I think it's just more BS from him.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
There's a reason he's banned here. Let's not repost more of his crap here, thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] adlerweb:
Well... Most of my podcast have different resolutions and none worked so far. Also should scaling not be disabled when the Player is set to "original size"?

I dont know for youtube but most 3rd party video-players i've seen say that supported codecs are device dependent so i guess they are in the rootfs, not the app.

OK, maybe, but afair do most companys not charge people/companys for playback - only encoding… And "free" codecs like theora or webm would not be affected

As said: 20% cpu left and works on Wimo -

I've managed to get "working" video with ffmpeg's default avi-output (think it was divx/mp3) but colors where disorted. My android died yesterday and i had no time to reinstall so i could not test further atm.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] toadlife:
I think I remember reading the issue the with getting decent video playback wit the MSM GPU is is getting information on the hardware. The codec used to play HQ video on Windows mobile comes from HTC and is written specifically for the MSM7x chipset using proprietary information - information which is not available to everyone, or can only become available for a price and an NDA.

Perhaps there is binary blob that can be used?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Perhaps a binary blob could be dug up, but we couldn't use it in the AOSP builds. Only custom builds would be able to use it, or individuals will just have to integrate it themselves.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] toadlife:
That would be fine with me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Ok... My point is, source is preferred.

If we can't get source, so be it - but a proprietary blob does very little good in the scope of this type of project. I want everyone to have the best Android experience possible, I don't want just a few builds working correctly and others borked. That sucks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Entropy512:
Well, you have to admit there is a precedent for binary blobs:

HW3D

Camera libs

Google Apps

However, ideally, if we can do it open-source that's better. I'll take a partially functional open-source component over a buggy blob solution any day - the above items happen to be things where the chances of an open-source component are pretty slim. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] eww245:
YouTube HQ will work with FRX06, there are three libraries that are needed. Unfortunately I found them in tiad8's BLAZN build, HQ videos seem to play identical to his builds using these libs.

libOmxCore.so and libOmxH264Dec.so part of OpenCore.

libstagefrighthw.so of Stagefright. Without this one videos play but loose alot of frames. Disabling Stagefright plays more frames but is almost black and white.

There are others that differ from XDAndroid but didn't seem to be of any use.

Not all HQ videos play, assuming there are other Decoders broken.

There are sources for Omx but I believe it may be eventually phased out in favor of Stagefright. This may be the only place to start, due to tiad8 ripping stuff and telling no one.

What we use for Omx and Stagefright are not likely up to date, may not be for our hardware, and may be as old as XDAndroid itself, as no one has had any interest with this.

I'm in no position to compile these sources, only knowing C# and a bit of c++

Here are the checksums if anyone wants to find them.

8f4713a7f0ef91455dbfc9810ceaca77 libOmxCore.so 9472B
3ff4c750c50586f6dcc876e170300e4a libOmxH264Dec.so 155436B
cf1403c1d0f7ebef586e88a1d1df1232 libstagefrighthw.so 9572B
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] AkumaX:
one of tiad8's builds (forgot which) actually had HQ youtube (and in turn, regular h264 video playback working perfectly). unfortunately, we'll never know what frankenstein hack he put together to make it work...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] fortunz:
I wouldn't mind having to install something outside the main build to get hardware acceleration. Are we basically looking for some android handset that used the TP2's chipset, and would have had the proprietary codec baked in? Might an android baker have already isolated this for say an unofficial gingerbread build for the G1?

It seems like in WinMo, and I admit, I don't really know what I'm talking about, only WMP was able to do hardware acceleration. All 3rd party players that I tried were brutally slow. Would we need the entire video player from a build as it might be the only one able to access that codec, or just a codec?

I actually haven't tried video yet, so perhaps this has already been solved. I'll feel silly then.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] highlandsun:
Hw accel is done in a system library. If it works at all, it will work for all apps.

Someone mentioned the Desire Z, MSM7230. That's Adreno200 vs our Adreno130 but wth, the MSM7230 OpenGL library works on our phone. I think it's worth checking to see if their Omx libs work for us.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] highlandsun:
I guess we could always try to write a wrapper around the Winmo codecs. It seems like the Qualcomm video stuff is in Qtv.dll. I'm not sure if voH264Dec.dll wraps around it, or what the structure is.

I grabbed a HQ clip off Youtube, it doesn't play on Android but it plays fine on WinMo. It's 640x360 H.264. I just double-checked my Omx libraries, the checksums match the ones from tiad8's build. Sigh. Thinking that there may just be a profile check somewhere in the library that needs to be tweaked (e.g., it's rejecting anything larger than 480x320, binary patch the check to use 800x480. The chipset is supposed to be capable of it.)

Of course, I haven't found any such profile check in the binary, yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ReeS86:
I tried some of the video libs from a random Desire Z ROM from these forums. No videos would play at all.

libOmxCore.so and libstagefrighthw.so

There third one mentioned above wasn't present, and there were a lot more Omx and stagefright files present. Maybe i did a bad mix & match but either way no luck. When I tried grabbing all of them it just caused a infinite loop in the boot process.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] highlandsun:
I found it. The limit in the codec is 480x368. I patched the binary to raise it up and was able to play a 640x360 Youtube HQ video, but the success rate is erratic. Several times when trying to play it logcat shows the QcomHardwareRenderer is unable to allocate a memory buffer. I don't know where the memory buffer limit is coming from. It also only played successfully using mVideoPlayer. Other players like RockPlayer or whatever just froze up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] eww245:
Thought I'd mention that CM6.1 for Dream has some working Omx libs that are not what tiad8 was using.

What I'm using are, libOmxCore/H264Dec/Mpeg4Dec and libstagefrighthw all of which are different, libopencorehw and the wma/wmv are the same as tiad8's.

With these stagefright can be disabled/enabled and the HQ videos work, though it is the same results, without high resolution.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Serren:
I followed the steps, and can confirm very positive results. Most Youtube HQ Videos run perfect. No lag or skips at all. Even the seek bar causes no issues.

Some random videos do not seem to stream well. Not sure why this is though. It is not random though. But at least HYC is making some awesome progress! Huge props to him!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] eww245:
Very Nice... Thank You highlandsun
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] toadlife:
Excellent.

Every youtube clip I tried, plus some vids I have on my SD card worked like a champ.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] AkumaX:
haha wow that's great!! no tiad8 black magic :D p.s. i bet he's probably working on his own using this info, as he already has with the bluetooth advancements :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] rpierce99:
tiad8 is not black magic, that dude is smoke & mirrors.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] manekineko:
FYI to anyone tempted to try this on GRX, this does not work there, and prevents boot.

Dying on a java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError because it can't load needed libraries. The libsystem_server depends on the libmediaplayerservice (for some reason), depends on the libstagefright_omx, depends on libopencore_common, which is not present on GRX.

Copied over libopencore* from FRX, but the libraries are not compatible.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
libs were compiled for Froyo, not sure why you'd expect them to work on GB :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] manekineko:
Heh yeah, I didn't. Did it on kinda a whim.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Would've been nice if they did 'just work' but when does that ever happen?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] toadlife:
Usually after hyc gets involved.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] highlandsun:
Heh heh heh....

I've updated the post with a patched MPEG4 decoder too. MPEG4 usually compresses only half as well as H.264, and there are a lot of weird variants of it (like DivX) that probably aren't handled. In general I don't use it any more and just stick with H.264. But this decoder handles higher resolutions than the H.264 decoder. 720x400 works easily. 800x480 is just a bit too much for it though; I get a second or two and then it freezes.

I believe, that for any given bit rate, H.264 will still yield better quality. But if you already have some MPEG4 videos you want to try, this is Not Bad...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Serren:
I did some more video tests last night. Just jumping around video heavy website and was really amazed how well the videos played on most sites.

I had never tested the site youpron.com prior to these hyc changes, but through my "testing", viewing random videos, the phone worked perfect. No lag, no sound issues, and even the fast forward bar worked super fast, for those boring parts you know... You do have to you mvideoplayer though. The stock movie player just gives you a black screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] villa15:
How do i get this to work on my, where do it put the files. Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] toadlife:
* Create a folder in the root of your sdcard called "videolibs"

* Copy the contents of the zip to the videolibs folder on your SD card

* Download and install 'connectbot' from the market

* Open connectbot and open a local shell

* Type the following in the connectbot shell:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp -f /sdcard/videolibs/* /system/lib
chmod 644 /system/lib/*.so
mount -o remount,ro /system -f

You *may* need to reboot afterwards to get them to take effect.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] villa15:
i did but, connectbot keep going back to accept or cancel screen. I'm running cyanogenMod 6.1 if that helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Which step...?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] villa15:
the app it self, it wouldnt get pass the accept information
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I can't help you with so little information. You can't connect to root@localhost using ConnectBot..? Just use adb...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] madplaya1:
Thank you !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] toadlife:
Sounds like su in your cyanogenmod build is broken. :/

I used an XDAndroid based build, so I don't know what to tell you, other than what arrrghhh said.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] villa15:
I did this i can now play HD video in Youtube but its in black and white is there away ti fit this. Thanks for any help in advance. i'm running cyanogenMod 6.1
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Does it work on XDAndroid builds?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] villa15:
I've not tried it on XDAndroid builds, cause i prefer cyanogenMod 6.1.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] highlandsun:
Then you're posting in the wrong thread. I've only built this for XDAndroid FRX06.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] villa15:
Ok, thanks. So Highlandsun there no way i could get it to work on cyanogen. ur help would be greatly appreciated. thanks again. U see I did this i can now play HD video in Youtube but its in black and white.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Serren:
That's a funny bug, the b&W, for something that you got lucky works at all. Highlandsun has better things to do with his coding time then to fix your CM build. If YouTube HQ is important to you, either switch back to us, or have someone on that team figure it out.

Read the logs sometime and you can see the progress and work hyc is doing on other problems and issues with our phones. The video codecs work, no point looking back until specific errors are found.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] villa15:
highlandsun I'm trying to get hq video playing on cyanogeMod 6.1 could u please tell me the name of the software u use to edit the videolibs. thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Hammerfest:
YOU SIR ARE POSTING IN THE WRONG THREAD...

and by that I mean your works deserve, no REQUIRE their own threads... thats how important/awesome/needed/ect ect ect they are...

...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] toadlife:
He uses vi, sed and cat.

Good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] AkumaX:
lol! villa, maybe you should go to the cyanogenmod forum and ask those questions...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] madplaya1:
This is going to be frx07, right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I assume you're asking if these new libs/codecs will be in FRX07. They should be.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Hammerfest:
i dont think they are and it makes me a sad panda...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Yea, I think they missed it (somehow...)

They're easily integrated. I'll make sure they're in '08.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] latinohot:
Thank-s to this instructions I'm now viewing my favorite show on youtube "top Gear" i was able to apply the settings through Terminal Emulator, and now youtube plays HQ Videos just as WM does,

BTW, i'm using the new frx07 build
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Enigmatik_best:
Wonderfull!!! It works perfectly on my phone (see my sign) with the native player and via QuickPic multimedia browser :cool:

A million of thanks to all the contributors who fixe this :):):)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
These libs are now in FRX07.1, thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] latinohot:
Mods please close this thread

the new FRX07.1 has this libs already applied, thank-s
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] fortunz:
Seems like it might still be easier to ask video questions here than in the mega frx thread.
[XPERIA X10 General] JasonGee:
Hi all,

I really miss the keyboard popup from a longpress on the menu key from Android v1.6.

Anyone found a way to implement this on the 2.2?

Its a big help when using things like emulators that want a keyboard.
[XPERIA X10 General] mister-g1:
that would be interesting to know... especially when searching for songs i'd appreciate to have this function
[XPERIA X10 General] JasonGee:
yeah I've searched everywhere for a solution to this problem and I'm really surprised at the lack of interest in this. If you are in an app that needs a text input but doesnt display a text field, then there's no way of opening the keyboard! And I cant seem to find any way to map a keypress to keyboard either, there seem to be lots of examples of how to map key presses to apps, or search, but not the keyboard.

Phones with physical keyboards have a definite advantage here.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
all friends and dev out here,

I just wanna say that i im leaving the Mini and mini Pro scene

I gave away my two pro's, my mini and my x8 to my friends

It was very bad, there was many people waiting for the final version or at least with some bug corrections. All know that this is a voluntary job, but it´s bad to creat expectations and then leave a project that was not finish.

I ask, and i think in the name of mostly users that at least you made the update to a version with the bugs already reported.

Thanks for your time
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mehdi.moha:
