1617051 - Directly upload from YUV buffers into a SurfaceTexture

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1562818

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

When we use a software decoder, we get a YUV memory buffer from the decoder. This is then copied into a YUV Image which will be later uploaded into a OGL texture.

We could instead directly upload the data from the decoder into an Android SurfaceTexture which can then be directly composited (or whatever object type available to achieve the same)

This is similar to what we are currently doing on Windows, where we directly upload the YUV buffer into a D3D11YCbCrImage

This cannot be done unless Google exposes native window API in SDK/NDK. Make it P5 and hope someday that will happen.
