Install cactus player on custom hardware

[Nishal]

Hi Team,

I have enabled vpu encoder and decoder on my device(imx8qxp) running android_11.0.0_2.2.0. I wanted to test the hardware decoder. I have tried running a video on imx8qxp MEK hardware and observe less CPU usage. MEK seems to have built-in media player (cactus player). But when I use some other apk on the same hardware CPU usage seems to be more.

So, I want to confirm the same behaviour on my custom hardware. However, I am unable to install this media player. Is it NXP customizied player? If so, Can I get the apk installer so that I can tryout the same.

Thanks in advance!

In our platform contains a pre-installed Cactus player in the android 11 version BSP.

You can see if it exist in the

the list in device/nxp/imx8m/ProductConfigCommon.mk
