Re: [linux-sunxi] Re: Directions for video engine support (CedarX)
I'm interested in this as well. When I've tried manually mounting in Android they still fail. It looks like the data coming off is still in a format the software can't take. Does someone have step by step instructions for Android? Sent from my Fire On March 16, 2015, at 8:48 AM, Quink wrote: You can mount the optical drive manually.

As an end user, I think that having mainline support (not just for the kernel, but the rest of the stack as well) for something like Kodi (nee XBMC) would be great. Ever since the first Android TV sticks came out, I have hoped to use one of those beasts as a media-center. But so far I haven't been able to do that: when using GNU/Linux the video playback sucks for lack of VPU support, and when using Android I'm faced with the problem that there's no DVD player software available in Android (there are lots of players which advertise support for playing DVDs, but they actually don't support playing from an optical drive).

Where are all these people coming from to defend it? At least one is obviously a shill but man... Anyway, if they ignored us when asking nicely, how much worse can it get? It's kind of an all or nothing thing. You can't go to market with partial compliance. I got burned by this at Pengpod. My touch screen controller went off the market and none of the replacements had source, just binary kernels packed in Android images. It forced me to bet everything on a new oem that seemed to be as compliant as possible. Further, imagine you work for a giant tech company with the potential to buy millions of units year. Could you recommend Allwinner to your bosses? Not with the current state of compliance, legally it's impossible to do business at any real scale this way. Companies figure this out before they even contact AW, it's part of their due diligence. I think this is hurting them more than they know. >Luc Verhaegen. >-- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >"linux-sunxi" group. >To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >email to linux-sunxi+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.

Re: [linux-sunxi] How do you get the Neal Peacock PengPod1000 to work from the included SD card? Trying a variety of buttons didn't do it...
Don, I sent you the steps on my personal email when you first asked, if you didn't receive it let me know there and we can discuss it.
