FireOS Progress

Post by davilla »

Fixed video playback stopping when pushed to background and restored to foreground. Video now resumes even when using MediaCodec surface.

Fixed music playback when Alexa speaks. Music continues after transient loss.

Fixed audio stutter issues under passthrough.

Two days of trying various things that did not work right and much hair loss :)

Just as a hint: did you succeed in circumventing the android limitation, or did you implement some kind of state saving in mrmc ?

You can't circumvent stopping video when pushed into background. In iOS/tvOS either. You could, at any point, get suspended (a real process suspend under iOS/tvOS) so you have to release player resources. MrMC remembers what it was doing and returns to it. Sort of a work in progress with various bits stuffed into place. The final solution will expand core player to handled being pushed and popped :)

Player is one thing, but do not forget playlists and gui, which is the tricky part, really, when resuming.

I had an internal chat regarding this possibility back in the days. I just went the easy way and prioritize the non-surface ;)

Of course, but I'm also not concerned about changing core to fit the needs of MrMC :)

This implementation serves two purposes, 1) resolve the problem with Alexa (voice) searches when playing video. 2) explore and uncover other issues. In Kodi, they like complete, finished solutions. As can be seen by the massive amount of PRs that just sit and rot. Here at MrMC, we dance to a different tune and while complete solutions are nice. Sometimes, one just has to push something out and see what issues develop and deal with them.
