regarding stagefright docs, i havent seen anything public yet., for now, source is the documentation ;) though minimal, whatever said a year back here -> still holds true even for gingerbread http://freepine.blogspot.com/2010/01/overview-of-stagefrighter-player.html

Most of the changes made in Opencore OMX IL (in opecnore/nodes/*node.cpp) will apply to stagefright OMX IL too (mostly in OMXCodec.cpp). > SF sits above OMX just like OC. If you have an OMX-IL > implementation that works with OC through Gallery, how difficult/easy > would it be to move this to SF? true, stagefright and opencore are peers. as said above, we need SF OMX IL changes, OMX Core integration needs to be done. basic steps are: integrate omx core in opencore -> we publish omx core .so in /etc/pvplayer.cfg files in stagefright -> we publish our OMX library in libstagefrighthw.so library add components against MIME type in OMXCodec.cpp->kDecoderInfo[] table once your compoennt is picked up for your the media, put OMX IL fixes as required. > Also, does SF use a different player? SF uses its own "Player Driver" ( implemented in StagefirghtPlayer.cpp/AwesomePlayer.cpp) any media-framework in android should implement android player driver with start/stop/setdatasource/pause/resume/seekto/etc interfaces, to take calls from libmedia,libmediaplayerservice. as we discussed above, gallery or any media application wont be aware of stagefright or opencore framework, it just uses android media library calls (ofcourse native apps can directly talk to sf/oc). internally Android media library picks a player type, as in media/libmediaplayerservice/MediaPlayerService.cpp=>getPlayerType() [1], and then process with start/stop/setdatasource/pause/resume/seek calls [1] http://git.omapzoom.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=media/libmediaplayerservice/MediaPlayerService.cpp;h=63b1e034c27fd523ac987d2b45b4bea193ed1ca5;hb=6c81cb09f4e5786d8c8f191c7a5ad6dd85086b22#l749 On Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 12:47 PM, HV <harishv.athr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I tried looking for some doc that would explain (at least in brief) > what Stagefright [SF] is capable of and how it compares against > OpenCORE [OC], but looks like it's not made public yet.
