This is not a specific question. Rather, I am asking for your guidance/opinion.
I have to build a video player (that plays Youtube Video, not live streaming) using Java for Android phones.
I would like to know your opinion on:
Which library is the easiest to use and incorporate with Eclipse for developing a video player? I would like to use the Eclipse Android Emulator, if that's possible.
Can u guys suggest tutorials/howtos/books regarding such development. I am new at this, so when I try to search the Internet, I get loads of hits, which confuses me. Please provide me with a starting point.
Bye.
Use the generic class MediaPlayer (included in Android SDK, so it can be easily added to your project).

Hi,
I am trying to get the ActiveX plugin for the Windows Media Player to work in PocketIE, or rather Internet Explorer Mobile on an O2 XDA Orbit 2 (Windows Mobile 6). The objective is to play a wma file from a URL, but using javascript to control the player, which will sit in a display:none; styled div.
I dont want to post walls of code, so I have setup this simple page to illustrate and test it:
http://lukas.xcomms.ie/cblproof/Default.aspx
I am able to display this fine in PocketIE, and I am able to play the audio file, just as in the desktop browser. However, with the new version of this plugin (i.e. using classid "clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" instead of the old "CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"), I am no longer able to use the javascript calls for .Play() and .Stop() on the player object.
When I switch the code back to use the old plugin, I can successfully use javascript to control the player in the desktop version of IE, but since the plugin is not installed on the WinMo6 device, I cannot bring the page to load the player in PocketIE.
Has anyone come across this before, or is there any reference documentation for the new ActiveX plugin, similar to the old Windows Media Player for PocketPC SDK that Microsoft had for PocketPC 2002 way back when?
Any input here would be much appreciated, I have trawled this forum and the internet for two days now, but unfortunately information is very sparse. I am stuck with PocketIE because of other requirements for the project, so switching to Opera or SkiFire is not an option I am afraid.
Thank you very much in advance for any pointers!

Other options
Hi again,
since no-one seem to have an idea to circumvent this particular challenge, can anyone suggest an alternative? I would be willing to skin the plugin, or use any other means of controlling audio in a web page through JavaScript.
I hate the fact that we have to work with Pocket IE on this, but at least it means that whatever solution we go for will need to work only on this platform and not across a variety of handsets / browsers.
Very grateful for any thoughts, opinions, advice,
Thanks again!
Mike
Hello,
I'm thinking about new project - podcasting for mobile phones mainly for Android OS phones. I need compatibility with Iphone's which are devices WITHOUT flash support.
<b>I am looking for any solution which I can put into my mobile site and stream videos to the viewer. </b>In other words, I am looking solution for share my video podcasts with users on mobile devices. I would like to make mini youtube for my users I would like to use Flowplayer but flowplayer is written in Flash environment.
I have only one need - It can't be written in with Flash technology, I need to embed any player written in any language than Flash. I hope that any solution is avalaible...
regards
Hi there guys! Since I still don't have permission yet to post on Windows 8 Development and Hacking, I will just share it here. Have you ever wanted to play movies on your desktop background and use it as an animated wallpaper? Back in Windows Vista, it has a default application called Dreamscene that let's you do this kind of thing. In Windows 7, Push Entertainment developed Dreamscene, a paid application to retain that feature introduced in Vista. Push Entertainment continued developing Dreamscene compatible with Windows 8 and another paid application called Deskscapes 8 developed by Stardock. For those who want it free (which I know a lot of you do), Let me introduce this freeware called Desktop Movie developed by Falcosoft. What's good with this one is that it's resource friendly because it doesn't use a lot of RAM when running this application.
Note: You may also need to install K-lite Codec Pack to play other video formats not natively supported by Microsoft's default codec pack. You can download K-lite Codec Pack on their official website.
See attachment for the application and video proof.
A little thanks will do if you like my post and please post some feedbacks!
Have fun and more power!
P.S.: This is also working on previous versions of Windows.
I recently checked the adobe flash page and it now shows on the Linux section,the PPAPI version of flash player.
In this situation,I think it should be VERY possible to make PPAPI Flash Player available to Android since it can utilize the dual/quad cores to increase the performance and make the sandboxed environment run smoother,and thus achieve better performance than the extremely outdated Android flash player.
(Adobe AIR sucks because of no browser integration and no Actionscript 2 support)
This would also make flash player content accessible in Chrome for Android and other Chromium based browsers.
Otherwise,maybe someone can talk Chromium devs into getting PPAPI flash player working on Android in a custom build such as the CAF build designed to be optimized for Qualcomm Snapdragon devices.
They done it with Linux after all this time,why not release PPAPI flash player for Android as well?
Chromium can be built with plugin access on Android?
BUMP
Has anyone made a custom Chromium build apk with the plugins enabled flag?
Its been possible since 2013 apparently. :silly:
It would be the solution for ShieldTV being ruined yet again by trashing Flash Player access by causing apps to crash upon attempting to load any Flash/swf content.
Better,yet a stand-alone flash player that somehow uses the ppapi plugin to allow playing offline content with ease.
I was given a couple of links by someone form here before...
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-dev/uQ3m8M-Yzvw
https://www.chromium.org/developers/gyp-environment-variables
Also some details were mentioned too.
I just learn that if you compile chromium yourself for android with enable_plugins=1
you will get PPAPI plugins enabled.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
enable_plugins=1
I'm not tech savvy with building and compiling stuff so I hope someone can help by making a custom Chromium build available for easier Flash Player access with a safer touch via its sandboxing function.

based on Raspberry forums, I tested it on my own one and works like a charm

WebOS is fine for what it does, however the built in media player is horrible and is unable to play many things. This question has already been asked on the VLC forum (https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=148909), with ultimately one of the developers saying "You cannot ship C/C++ code to WebOS LG TV, so it will probably have to wait for VLC.js and WASM support on LG TV".
However, this doesn't really make sense as webOS is written with C++ and XDA member xtreme_protector has ported RetroArch which is written in C/C++. Is it really impossible to port VLC? If I knew how to port apps I would attempt it myself.
Here is the SDK, great thanks to anyone who may give it a shot.
