There is no code. You download MP4Box. You run it at the command line of your development machine, using the --hint switch, to fix up a video file. If you do not own the video file, and it does not play in Android, contact the publisher of that video file and ask them to do the hinting for you. Tell them that it will also speed up playback of their videos on iPhone, as iOS will not have to buffer atoms waiting for the MOOV atom to know what to do with the data. BTW, Dave Sparks indicated to me at Google I|O 2011 that this is less of an issue with Stagefright, so Android 2.3+ might have better luck playing your videos. Conversely, it is also possible that the MP4Box --hint trick will no longer fix problematic videos on Android 2.3+. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.6 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
