From 8fc21fd0d5aa733eb4388c68d22c8f1748f16e33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aman Gupta Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2017 11:58:37 -0700 Subject: vo_gpu: add android opengl backend At the moment, rendering on Android requires ``--vo=opengl-cb`` and a lot of java<->c++ bridging code to receive the receive and react to the render callback in java. Performance also suffers with opengl-cb, due to the overhead of context switching in JNI. With this patch, Android can render using ``--vo=gpu --gpu-context=android`` (after setting ``--wid`` to point to an android.view.Surface on-screen). --- DOCS/man/options.rst | 5 ++++- DOCS/man/vo.rst | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'DOCS') diff --git a/DOCS/man/options.rst b/DOCS/man/options.rst index c047e6d2d4..bf097dab42 100644 --- a/DOCS/man/options.rst +++ b/DOCS/man/options.rst @@ -2483,7 +2483,8 @@ Window On Android, the ID is interpreted as ``android.view.Surface``.
