Also note that media support is typically available on most embedded
chipsets, so there is a workaround to playback audio and video. Check
out Jasper's post on the JavaFX HD Menu demo for the raspberry Pi [1],
where he explains the following (comments section):
/
//"//There is no JavaFX media support on Pi, we prototyped passing
hardware decoded frames of video into OpenGL so that it could be drawn
in JavaFX Scene but performance was not great. So what we do is draw
JavaFX with a transparent background just like a transparent window on
desktop. Then use the native omx media player to play video to a lower
layer under the JavaFX graphics. So basically standard hardware overlay
graphics. This works great on PI and there is only about a 10% drop in
JavaFX performance when playing a HD video stream underneath. So simple
animations we can get 50+ fps with video at same time."/

There are no immediate plans to address this in the JDK 8 time frame.
I should clarify that I'm talking specifically about the JDK 8 port
for Raspberry Pi. I believe that's what Felix was making reference to,
as "Java SE Embedded" is a different product that Oracle sells
directly to embedded equipment OEMs.

Nicolas, is that something that is going to be addressed in the
future? If so, do you know when these (essential) features will be
added?

Hi,
Some time ago I saw that there would be no webview and no
media support on
Java SE Embedded 8. Is this still true? Are there any more
limitations?
Thanks, best regards,
