The latest version was released this morning.<br>
<br>
Thanks to all the MythTV users who helped with the testing on<br>
the 1.0.4 release.<br>
<br>
The Release Notes (with a list of changes and bug fixes) are here:<br>

<br>
Initial reports show that users running Android releases below Honeycomb<br>
(3.1) will see a "NoSuchMethodError". The fix has already been committed.<br>
Retesting is in progress.</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I was super excited to see the non-HLS capabilities added, however I realized now that all of my h264 content is stored as videos rather than recordings, and my phone doesn't really care for MPEG2.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is there any estimate as to when video playback will be added?</div><div><br></div><div>Also, I have several videos that I merged into the recordings database, to backfill missing episodes; they play fine from the regular frontend, but I get mixed results on the android frontend... some media players will play some files (usually without audio), some players will fail (bs player always fails), and sometimes a player will work for one 'recording' and not another. I wonder if the imported recording file names contain illegal characters?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks for all your effort on this!</div></div></div></div>
</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style>Sorry for replying to myself, but I thought I would try other players and stumbled upon VLC for Android (<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc.betav7neon">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc.betav7neon</a>). Of course it's not available in the US, so I had to download it from <a href="http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/">http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/</a> and install it as an untrusted application... but it works great when playing without HLS.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style>It plays MPEG2 content well, it skips a ton of frames but it keeps audio and video in sync so it's watchable (tried watching Hockey, it was rough but ok) and it starts playing almost instantly. </div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style>My only complaints are that there is no ability to skip around in MPEG2 video, and it doesn't seem to work with HLS. Considering that many of the players have the same problems, if I could even get them to play something watchable... I can live with it.<br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra" style><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style>Makes me think that VLC might be a good codebase to pull from if the frontend app is going to get a built in player?</div><div class="gmail_extra" style>
