Mark M.
howdy, Charles!
Charles S.
How are you doing
Mark M.
much better when I don't drop my mouse on the floor...
how can I help you today?
Charles S.
Mark, I have been having an issue related to MediaPlayer->setLoop(true) with the new audio framework stagefright and I was wondering if you knew anything about this?
Mark M.
not really
I have never used setLoop()
Charles S.
The issue I am having is that on new devices (ie xoom) there is an audio stutter.
Mark M.
what type of file, and is it local or streaming?
Charles S.
ogg
local
Mark M.
well, that should be stutter-free, AFAIK
Charles S.
From what I understand it is an issue with the new media framework
Mark M.
that's conceivable
unfortunately, we don't know much about it
if you can create a small project that demonstrates the issue, I'd post it to b.android.com
and, if it doesn't get any reaction in a week or so, cross-post to android-developers
what you want is David Turner to pay attention to it
Charles S.
thanks I though I would give it a shot, I think I am going to have to go the AudioTrack route, but decoding ogg isn't very easy. Thanks again.
Mark M.
unfortunately, that's a lot more difficult nowadays than it was, say, back in 2009
Charles S.
Great thanks I will throw a project together.
8:10 PM
Mark M.
have you tried it on other recent hardware?
Charles S.
No, I don't have access but users are starting to complain that it doesn't work on the droid x.
and xoom so far
Mark M.
if you think of it, drop me a line with a link to the b.android.com issue, if you post it
I can give it a shot on a Nexus S
what's key is being able to demonstrate that it's an OS flaw, not a hardware flaw
Charles S.
If you would be willing, I can post an apk...
Mark M.
to be honest, I'd rather wait for the issue, so I can compile from source
Charles S.
I know, and it isn't present on the emulator on 3.1
Mark M.
since XOOM and the Droid X are both Motorola devices, it's possible this is a MOTOISSUE
in which case the MOTODEV support boards might be able to help
Charles S.
OK great.
Mark M.
which is part of the reason I'd try it on a Nexus S, as that's a completely different manufacturer
Charles S.
I will check that out
Thanks again!
