Any update on this?

Man i would DIE vor a VLC player +

Nice Job bud!

I would love VLC as well, but unless something changed as I mentioned in other posts I don't see it happening. I read that android lacks the hooks into the media portion of the os to add codecs or let the system access built in codecs inside other programs. I don't think a program like vlc can work until that is fixed.

I could be wrong, I'm not a programmer myself, but i was reading what they were talking about for coreavcs h.264 decoder for high def and they were talking about porting it to android and were having major road block issues. I can try finding the link to the post... ill update this with it in a few moments when i find it

for those interested here is the forum post http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic...&hilit=android
and here are some quotes that kind of sum it up:

dec 22, 09 "We have stopped work on it till Google releases an SDK/NDk we can actually build stuff that won't break in the next SDK/NDK release. The current multimedia capabilities in it are underdeveloped (a joke really)."

dec 23, 09 "Well the good thing is this..... Google has stated in public now that they are going to allow a library of of spec on the NDK to work which is great news since we have CorePlayer API. But no news on when they will release this support in the NDK."

so perhaps we'll see vlc or other codecs come to light in the next couple of update releases. wasn't there somethign about 2.1 doing an upgrade to the 3d abilities of android for live wallpaper and the cool effects, games..etc?

coreplayer's devs are pretty much on hold until google releasees proper NDKs. no further development can happen until there is better system integration into the dev kits. the android's claim to open source is completely opposite.

in after the edit. lol.

[Raegis]

psx emulator would be sooooooo awesome!

[Chatchie]

even a jailbroken pre can run the psx emu

[unix.punkx]

VLC Player and an N64 emu would be most awesome. I use Gameboid at the moment and love it.

yes ! and pre haves many of the good iphone games like NFS undercover and asphalt 5. its really a shame. gameloft and EA dont produce any good games for android, they just released their crappy ports from java phones. i read gameloft wont release much games on android, cause the last games they brought to our robot had very bad sales. about 400 times worse then on iphone. but i think its their own guiltiness. if they WOULD release the highend stuff from the iphone many of us sure would buy it. but with their crappy ports the bad sells are no wonder.
