[Q] Adding FLAC codec to rooted phone - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
Is it possible to add the FLAC codec to my GingerBurst HTC Desire? I know some player apps can play it but CyangenMod has the codec built in and I'm thinking maybe it's possible to add it?
I would ask in the GingerBurst ROM thread in the developer forum but not enough posts to be allowed.. (Meh)
Thanks.

Add more codec to Native library
Hi all,
I was wondering on similar lines.
Will we be able to enable native support for more codec, by copying the codec library files to the /system/lib directory?
Are there any other configurations that need to be made in order to tell the device what the library file (added) is about?
I want to be able to use FLAC files as a ringtone. That, I guess, will be possible only when there is native support for FLAC.
I own a XPERIA X10 mini (Rooted)
Thanks in advance.

Playing WMA Files

Well being a total newbie to Android this is probably a basic question, but ,i need to be able to play WMA files , it appears that there is no native support in Android , probably a licensing issue i guess , so are there any apps that can play WMA files that i can download for the EVO ?
thanks
Dan
The Evo will play WMA files. Sense music player has built-in support for it. Vanilla Android does not.

when i try to play the WMA file it says "unable to play this type of audio file"
these WMA files come from MS Office Communicator via email , they are my work voice mails... maybe they are a different version or something ?
any ideas ?
Dan
Not sure to be honest. All of my music is WMA format and the phone plays it fine. My Nexus needed a mod to play them.

All u have to do is edit the name of the song. Change WMA to MP3 & it will work find. I had the same problem.
What about WM streaming (many radios are streamed using windows media), is there any way of playing them?
I tried that and it still will not work...
pls Help

[APP REQUEST] Music App that supports .WMA?

I've tried a crap load of Media Player apps from the market and none of them support .wma files. Has ANYONE found one that works?

I'm in to Flac, and happy that a few current Froyo ROM's now support imaginatively. Never cared for Andless and Meridian. Anyways, as far as WMA I saw this searching. I have NO IDEA of quality or if it works.

I tried that a while ago. It does but the player is VERY buggy and doesn't support any type of playlists or playing more than one file at a time.
Yah, I wish I'd have ripped all my CD's in FLAC but because I was a WinMo fanboy and I use Windows at work, I saw no reason for anything but .WMA.
The HTC devices (sold by HTC) support .wma. I'm figuring it's a codec of some sort to add that functionality back to the stock media player. I need to read up on adding FLAC support to the stock ROM and maybe I can pick up how to do it with .WMA as well.
Thanks...

You can convert .wma to .flac pretty easily with foobar2000. I'm assuming of course that the OP has ripped everything in lossless .wma and not compressed .wma, otherwise using .flac would be pointless. If you have a huge collection of lossless music, it would be a good idea to do this to your entire collection anyway for the sake of compatibility in the future.
The other option if you're sticking with a stock N1 ROM is to convert everything to lossless .wav, which has native support in the stock ROM. For that process, you can download the Windows Media Audio Lossless to Wave Converter directly from Microsoft.

[Q] encode to mp3 on an android device?

Im completely new at android and app writing. But I would like to write an app to make my life easer. I would like to recorde audio then encode it to mp3, is it possible? How would I go about starting?
Thanks

What you request is actually fairly advanced for a first program. I know nothing of your coding skills, so please don't take this a slight on you. The default media encoder on Android does not support direct encoding to mp3. So, you would need to either find a pure java mp3 encoder and port that to android, figure out the painful ndk C libraries through JNI to java and compile a C library like LAME, or *shiver* code your own mp3 encoder. All doable, none are trivial.

[Q] So is FLAC supported?

I noticed that the new hack for ringtones/alerts lists FLAC as one of the supported formats. Does that mean that it's possible for a WP7 device to play a .FLAC file, assuming you can get it on there?

Zattoo won't use external video player anymore

Hey everyone,
since version 2.0.10 Zattoo app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zattoo.player) does not provide the option to play video via another video app, e.g. MX Player. Since .10 it uses it's own player, and quality really sucks ass :
I read somwhere that replacing the file ZATTOO_PREFS.xml with an older version makes it possible again.
So my question is,, does anybody still have a zattoo.apk prior v2.0.10 or can at least send me the .xml ?
thx in advance
zattoo experimental player prefs xml file
Hiya,
I have the same problem
My setup is a raspberry pi with xbmc connected to tv, nexus 7 with zattoo and yatse, both on vpn where I could browse channels on the nexus and send to tv/xbmc via yatse thanks to the external player experimental feature but not since the update.
Read abt the preferences file too...
Did you get any luck?
Thanks!
