1080p video on Android

Hi Gabi,

>1. Not all QtMobility features are implemented.
>2. Mostly untested.
>3. Style (especially tabs) are wrong.
>4. The usage of android::MediaMetadataRetriever from the previous implementation does compile the plugin won't load. It might be because the interface is not longer available in the native libraries of my Android 4.0.3. To test this patch on my Transformer Prime, I commented that part out. I will probably need to recode this using the JNI too.

>6. Not sure if it will work on API 4.
>7. etc...

>Still, for simple 1080p video playback, it works very well on my Transformer Prime TF201. Before I take more time to polish this code however, I wanted to know what you guys though of it. I know that OpenMax is the preferred solution and so I do not want to waste my time if this turns out to be useless. So, what do you think, should I continue? Any comments would be more then welcome!

It seems you misunderstood me, so my approach (OpenMAX + OpenGL magic), *if* will work, it will require devices with android-14+, so, for lower versions we need something else. Here your approach seems to be the only one, so, if you have time, please *finish* and *test* the patch ! It doesn't matter if it will not work on android-4, but please make sure you don't break anything else :)
