Can you implement free DTS audio codec in your player?

Can you implement free DTS audio codec in your player?

I was thinking about it.
For now, there are many reasons why a can not do this.
Some of them: it needs full NDK support (something like ffmpeg); i am not sure that revue can handle 5.1 from an application; libdca is GPL.

Is there any way to change the amount of time it skips when hitting the FF or REW buttons? It looks like about 12 seconds by default. I'd like to set my FF to 30 seconds and my REW to 7 seconds.

I couldn't find anything in the settings...

Thanks,
Paul

Another suggestion: Would it be possible to keep track of progress watching a show (even for a limited number of shows)?

As an example, if you start watching a program and pause (or stop) playback, it could keep track of where you were in the program, so that if you start playing it again, it could ask if you wish to resume or start from the beginning... If you could keep a small cache of these (like the last 10 or so shows), that would be great, as I'd think most people would pick back up and watch the rest of a given show within a few days.

Perhaps an extension of this would be to track "watched" status through the use of a single file in each directory. Once something was watched, you could put a red "W" icon next to the file to indicate that it has been watched (probably mark a file as watch when like 95% of the file has been watched, as most people don't watch the credits). Having an icon next to them will help you remember where you are when you are watching an entire series. The single data file in each directory could also contain the timestamp of where you were when you paused/stopped the show. Doing this in a file would allow multiple GoogleTV boxes (different makes even) to keep this info in sync... Imagine starting a movie in one room on a Revue, then moving upstairs to the bedroom to finish the movie on a Sony w/ GoogleTV.

Sent my logs a little while ago. Hope there's something in there regarding the lack of AirPlay as well.

Perhaps this was mentioned in an earlier post (I haven't read the entire thread). If this is a known issue, I apologize.

Think I found a bug.. I was testing out AirPlay and the screensaver was on with GTVBox running. I started sending a video to it, and it started playing (the audio anyhow), but the screensaver was still running..

After hitting a button on the remote, I verified that if you leave it inactive (but playing), the screensaver will eventually kick in again.

Edit: Noticed that this happens no matter if you are watching via AirPlay or streaming from a SMB share... I'm running the official 3.1 update, BTW. My screensaver (the default Android eating popcorn) pops up after about 10 minutes, which is what my Screensaver is set to in the Settings app.

I'll put this into TODO list. Remember that there are also NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons (FN+FF and FN+RW). They skip more time.

Someone had already asked about Resume feature here. I've started to do this, but noticed that Revue is very often not able to skip forward over video (which we need for Resume feature). So... I imagine people here asking: "WTF? I select "Resume", but it still starts from the beginning".

Could not find any help for resolving Aiplay issue for you, sorry. I have another idea. Could you try to disable and then enable Airplay feature in setting. This will force restart bonjour service. Maybe this could help...

Now about smb: as i see, it can list directories, but fails to authenticate while playback. Looks like my bug. Will try to resolve in the next version.
