1068597 - Enable VideoToolbox decoder in 10.6

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

While looking into bug 1068455, I found out that the CoreMedia framework as well as the VideoToolbox framework do exist in OS X 10.6!

However, those are private frameworks, and aren't exposed.

I tried to simply hook our existing VT decoder, but it failed as the required symbols couldn't be found.

Upon investigation, all the symbols we use are there, but prefixed with Fig rather than CM.

I thought, why not?...

And amazingly it actually worked !

This ticket aimed as enabling the VideoToolbox decoder in 10.6.
