Video playback (at least on android...?)

Post by Reenen »

Would it be possible to make love android (but love in general too) play video?

I think anything is possible, but I don't think devs ever had a reason to add that to love. But for android and iOS it would have some uses. But I don't think they are going to add it anytime soon.

Ok, so it's "on-hold" for 3 years. :D

One could simply ffmpeg it into frames and audio. I'll try and make a library for it if I can.

Ok, I follow the implentation.

It seems that it converts the file into a currently non-standardized format right? Meaning a series of pngs, and an audio track?

How is the file sizes?

It does use raw assets, as most of love's video ventures have been pretty hacky, but someone has managed to get an mjpeg implementation done here, but it doesn't work on android: https://github.com/utunnels/mjpeg-playe ... OVE-engine

Depends on what kind of compression you use. Here's a sample video encoded with different settings:

Considering metadeta can't really be shared by the frames with the method that's used, there is considerable decompression.

But hell; it gets the job done.
