For the streaming feature I'm looking for someone who has a Galaxy S and knows a (preferably opensource) program to convert videos for his/her phone. A sample of a working video would be nice too. The problem is that our current implementation works fine on our HTCs but doesn't on the Galaxy S.

Hi.
I have a Galaxy S 9000. I did not jet tried to convert Video to playback on my phone, but I can do it. I'm not 100% sure, but I think XMediaRecode has a profile for Samsung Smartphones. Tonight it's too late and tomorrow is a big Party (Schützenfest) in our Village. But Monday I can do some tests...

I have 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) installed. Witch container and codec should I try to use for testing?

Hi.
Here is a .mp4 I've just recorded with my phone. This video plays well on my GSI9000, of course. Maybe this is a little help. Upload is stlln on the way, so be patient. I have a horrible slow internet connection..

Thanks. It's ridiculous - I simply cannot get audio working with ffmpeg and the Galaxy S. As soon as I remove the audio it starts working fine. Even if I try to get a close as possible to your sample file it doesn't work. I either get a crash in libstagefright (the media playing library on Android) or an error about too small buffers from OMXCodec (the AAC codec). Could you please test if this file plays on your device? It's a 10seconds sample that starts with ~3s of noise. I don't care about quality yet, just if it's playable using the internal player. http://www.filedropper.com/sample_5

Hi.
I've tried to convert a HDTV (1080i) Recording from MP to GalaxyS with XMediaRecode 3.0.0.2. Works really good and plays without issues on my phone. I've attached the converted video. I simply choose Samsung-> Galaxy S I9000 from profiles dropdown menu in XMR, open the recording, add a job and press convert. Lasts about 40 seconds to complete...

Your sample I can't download. Maybe there is a problem with the hoster? I've tried it several times. Every time I got another file size between 40 and 200 kb. None of them are playable at all...

I'm not really sure, but I think XMediaRecode uses ffmpeg also.

Hi.
I downloaded the clip and re-uploaded it to my own Megashares account, if you where interested.
Here is the link

Hope this can help a little and thank you(DieBagger, Oxan, Lehmden) very much for all the time you put into this

Hi.
Thanks, now I'm able to download.
The sample.mp4 did play well on PC, but did not play at all on Phone. "Unsupported File Type"...
Maybe it's due the Menu, that is not included in my sample...

Do you have any approximate date for the release of aMPdroid 0.8 and GMAWebServices 0.3? I'm not asking for an exact day, just wanted to know if we are talking about some months, some weeks, some days... I suppose that the correct answer is some weeks, right?

Shouldn't be too long...

Are you also going to submit the code to the project's google code's page?

Yes, the code was really messy with the streaming features so I didn't commit the changes, but I will checkin the code soon.

Dutch translation done!

Hmmm can't wait to try the 0.8 version...

Any progress in adapting the layout for tablets? (autorotate & autoscale, etc)

Thx for translating. Regarding the tablet layout: It's high on the priority list after 0.8 is released.

Thanks, I get what the problem is with playback on the Galaxy S. Apparantly it only supports Low-Complexibility AAC audio instead of the standard format (which does play on HTC). Now I need to find out how to encode this with the free ffmpeg encoder.
EDIT: no, that's not the case.

This is what I get with a new encoding test (with a custom patched ffmpeg to actually accept LC audio):

The only thing that I see that differs with your working sample is the bit rate mode, but I can't force that one to change in ffmpeg. I'll try the libfaac encoder as used by XMediaRecode. The problem with that is that redistributing libfaac is, thanks to the so called "open standards" guys at MPEG, actually illegal to do.
