Hey Ubuntu, the reason the API isn't bundled is because the API makes callbacks to the underlying Dolby Tech built into supported Devices. The Dolby Service is definitely in Amazon Devices, but also many other OEMS. We're working to get ALL OEM partners to adopt the Dolby Solution (including the Dolby decoder)
So what does that means for App Developers? Instead of having to deal with a whole SDK built into your app, you integrate a small jar file that's tiny which can talk to the underlying Dolby tech found on supported devices. We are working all those companies ;) Amazon is definitely pushing for this since all their Kindle Fire HD(X) devices have Dolby built in. http://developer.amazon.com/public/community/post/Tx1G2N72C7VKCTR/Dolby-Raises-the-Bar-Again-for-Audio-Standards-on-Kindle-Fire On Sunday, January 5, 2014 7:18:12 PM UTC-8, Ubuntu guy wrote: > > > These new APIs seem to be fun to try but is there any reason as to why > the plug-in service is not distributed through play store just like google > play services? > Based on what i read, any updates, bug fixes in the plug-in service would > be restricted by the OEM like amazon in this case, isn't it?
