Has someone already ported/compiled gstreamer fsl-plugins against gstreamer-sdk for Android (http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Installing+for+Android+development) or used some sort of glue layer between omx and gstreamer ?
Any hints on how to proceed?

Hello,
I haven't heard of an effort like this, but freescale codecs for openMAx are on android if that helps.

Hi,
You mean that i use the OpenMAX layer to invoke the HW codec only ?
Which SW module i can use In the Android platform, Stagefright ?
Acceleration, as far as I know is done "the android way" in the openMax layer.

Apparently if an uses openMax or something that uses openMax it will be accelerated.

BTW, on Linux the OpenMAX layer is not implemented, so GST elements directly talk to FSL modules. So all this GST + OpenMAX integration should be done on Android. Good luck!

so is there an example of how to use the omx "plugins" in android to capture and playback video from within an android app?
Android uses the omx codecs intrinsically, so if you record or playback as you regularly do on android (gallery, am commands, etc) you'll be using the codecs.
