Hi
Would it be possible to make that? Recording with the possibility to pause and then resume instead of "stop"...
I'm not sure I see the benefit? With record and stop you can make clips that can easily be sewn together with basic video software.

but thats an extra step which would simplified immensely by the ability to pause
I don't see the benefit...
Record/Stop Record/Stop
or
Record/Pause Resume/Stop
is the same...
I get what you're saying and agree. It would be like a real camcorder. And you wouldn't have to edit later cause it would all be part of 1 clip rather than several separate ones. If you can find a way for my N1 to do this (which im perfectly sure it's capable of)it would enhance the N1 experience that much more!
+1 for need, recording tennis etc so helpful to be able to pause between fail rallys instead of making 30 vids.
I don't know how you CAN'T see the benefits... it's a GOLD feature to be able to pause and then resume... when you STOP you need to record a new clip...
Is this feature available in any android camera apps? Please let me know if it is. Sorry for bumping the old thread, been looking for such an app for a while. It is quite a failure from google not to incorporate this in android standard app - even a 10-year old nokia can do it!

Video recording app now in the market, tested and works ok overall but no sound. To stop recording hit back button. Very buggy!!
watts da name of it
yeah it's working well.
very, very buggy mind you, alot of force closing but, hey, it works i suppose.
quality's not too bad but it's really slow, so as long as you keep still it works fine
i'll get a little video uploaded to show you.

Been trying to find it myself, all it has in the program file is a bunch of blank pics! Man its a start but buggy as hell!!!
on the website it says there's gonna be an update in the next 2-5 days so lets hope the bugs get ironed out. also i'd quite like to see more stable recording and sound
but maybe i'm asking too much
Interesting. Pity about the bugs and no sound, but it's a start, which is very good.
Good start. Bring on the updates.
Keeps asking to update! very annoyin
i saw this app today, for some reason decided not to download it
but its a "good" start
hope to see this being updated constantly.
How could u not even try it out .
I grabbed it as soon as physically possible.
It needs a lot of work.
And yes, MJPEG
Really needs some work haha.
EDIT: I just realized that my post has a lot of smilies
Update Released!
New update with a much cleaner interface. The videos are stored(i use this loosely) onto the sd card in /.org.android7/videorecorder. Uses about 16m for 10 seconds of video. The audio works as long as you also have the VoiceClient installed, it's not very loud but it's there.
After opening the app press record to open the recorder window(your not recording yet) hit menu-record to record and the same to stop recording.
I'm curious how the recording is working? It would be nice to at least be able to re-assemble the recordings on my machine.
In the video folder there are two file types blah.3gp [16kb] (appears to only be the audio) and a group of blah.jpg [~225kb] images (tho these are not viewable even on my pc?) any ideas?
The videos it makes are not viewable on any of the other viewers on android either. (the only thing it's really missing)
Well, it seems to get better with updates.
2 things i realized...
1) When you replay a video after you record it, it plays like its on fast-foward or 2x.
2) If you delete a video from your phone, the video gets deleted(Why is 30 seconds of recording 32 Megs by the way?) BUT the audio files from the video(which the file type is .jpg also, weird?)stays in the anroid7.org folder so they never really delete, you have to manually go in there and delete them when you USB to your comp.
Either way, i consider the effort and applaud him for the first video recording app of its kind on the android OS, i see potential in the future.
built-in video player?
I'm confused.. I know g1 doesnt have a built-in icon for video player but i just noticed that i can open a video file using an astro file manager (unless astro has a video player itself).. it has an auto-rotate function too and looks like the Video Player in the Market.. hhmm.. And currently, I dont have any video player program installed in my G1... Can someone clarify this?
Ya, I've tried rebuilding the 'video' into something useful. The Audio file name is xxxxx.jpg.3gp (amr i believe) and the images 225k each ~2/sec don't appear to actually be .jpg, nor can i get them open with .gif .bmp .jpeg .png as extensions
this is on windows, maybe they'll turn up something more promising on *nix.
I quit testing this.
It's not encoding nothing only take fast pics and save de audio on 3gp format.
It's good to see that we can take pcitures so fast because this show us the real posibilities with this cam on HTC G1.
Google has to build something using the internal h264 posibilities of decode/encode(i guess) to encode the pics and audio on real time(too heavy processing ?)
Till that time....just wait and see
It CAN.
WinMo guys did.
Prove me wrong.
HTC Touch Diamond T-mobile G1
Main specs:
Qualcomm MSM7201 CPU Qualcomm MSM7201 CPU
192 MB of RAM 192 MB of RAM
3.2 MP Camera, no flash 3.2 MP Camera, no flash
OS: WinMo OS: Google Android
Videorecording:
352x288x30fps None.
So:
1) It is definately technically possible.
2) Hey, WinMo does Android, the open source, WTF???
Where's Our Video Player?
Does anyone remember TCPMP / Core Player on WinMo?
Why can't we have that satisfaction on our G1's???
Is it the hardware-decoder thing? Is it OTW?
Anyone know what's up?
There is a video player, It's called Video Player....
Per the subject line, I need to be able to start working on videos using my photos to put together stories. SO I need to be able to import my photos, show how long they should show before transitioning to the next one, and support a music track and an audio (voiceover) track. I have looked at what is available online, but the only thing that even sort of works on Android is Jaycut, and I'll be darned if I can figure out a way to get it to do two audio tracks.
Anything (!) out there, or do I need to accept that I have a use case that requires iOs rather than Android?
There is movie studio.

Umm... have you actually tried using that program? Not only is there 0 documentation (the Google web page for it literally just lists that it comes with Honeycomb), but it does not seem to support any of the items I need.
Of course if you've figured out how to make it work, PLEASE tell
I have used it moderately. And to be honest from what I can see, it can probably get by to your needs. But would need some work. Honestly if you really need all that, and know the ipad can do it, get the ipad.
Hi all:
I'm looking for the driver we use to operate the camera under Android.
I was hoping to possibly check it over and redesign it for our Kaiser and possibly Polaris/Vogue machines as well.
I have experience in coding and development, just not much in the field of Linux these days. I worked with SCO Xenix back in the 90s' into 2000 (I know... old school), but not with much more recent Linux builds except Ubuntu and Slax.
If anyone has an ORIGINAL copy of the unmodified driver we use, please post to this thread. The only hold-up to having Android fully functional on our Kaisers is the camera/video issue and I'd like to try and fix it, you know, "do my part to help".
Thanx
PoX

It's got 2 parts, the android driver and the kernel part. The android part is in /hardware/msm7k/VogueCamera if you pull froyo or gingerbread from git, or you can just clone the camera driver git on sourceforge here: http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=androidhtc/camera.git;a=summary
I haven't looked into the kernel part that hard, you will need to look in /arch/arm/mach-msm for the driver. I think a lot of it happens in the /audio/qdsp4 directory which is what handles most of the media stuff.
Have fun
Thanx scoot!
I think what might be happening is a memory allocation error when the camera is switched to video, either that or the driver is asking the camera to do something it can't, like capture video at 1280x1024.
If I get a chance tonight, I'll play with it on the laptop and try it by pushing the changes via C+P in root explorer.
Any clues as to what resolution the camera is supposed to record video?

Uhm... our kaisers are probably using a hack. We have manual focosing with the wheel, perhaps the video is trying to auto-focus constantly and failing. I noticed that the FC is not right after switching to video, just a few seconds after... I'll try something and report
Do you know if camera is working for polaris? I mean, not video just camera
Thanks

I haven't had a chance to mess with it much but you may be right. A fixed-focus lens cannot have an auto-focus command sent to it because there's nothing there to recieve the command.
I have a processor upgrade to do on my old "Android-use-only" laptop (YAY, I got a Prescott!..lol), but I'll dig in and see where there might be a command for auto-focusing. Who knows, you might have stumbled upon the answer we needed 2 years ago...
Aren't you confused ?? Kaiser doesn't have a fixed-focus, it's a auto-focus lense.
Without any working Android phone to use as a model I have no point of referrence for what the video size should be, but I can only guess it's not supposed to be 1600x1200, or YUV420.
Daedric, I apologize... I was in a hurry and saw "manual focus" and just blubbered out whatever came to mind.
I did look into the commits made for the camera and all I saw was the size intergers being high. I would assume the video recorded with our camera would only fit the WinMo parameters for 640x480 (max)...
Must....dig.....deeper....
I'm on vacation at this time and although I brought a laptop, it's not my "development" machine. I'm also beginning to believe my theory about the video requiring some "cache" file to record ideo to before sending it to the "Video" folder created on the SD.
I'll dig in when I get back...

We must first figure out how to auto-focus. The manual focus is intercepting wheel up-wheel down to move the lens. Now, as to this, i belive we don't have the focus range we had on winmo.
Second, after this is done, focusing on our cameras (i belive this is true to EVERY cellphone camera) works on a contrast basis. You probably noticed that it's very difficul to focus on a clean, white, bright wall. This must be implemented in software, either at driver level, or some other way...
The best course of action will probably be to dig how other low-spec/initial android phones are working, and try to replicate. Perhaps HTC Magic's camera...
Before vacation I was looking into the kernel drivers from the Dream and Sapphire, but since these have slightly different hardware, I'm afraid to start playing around in kernel drivers, especially where hardware control is concerned.
If this was MS-DOS/Windows compiled, I would be in heaven and it would be so much easier.
Any news?
Do you have any good news?

I don't mean to disrespect the request at all - it's currently the most-requested feature on that uservoice page, so clearly you're not alone in wanting it, and I'm all about the Will of the People.
But can I ask why? I get why it's important in hour-long podcast episodes (and I just noticed this morning that the 8.1 podcast app implements it, which is nice), but I've never felt the need to skip forward within a song I was listening to. Skip to the next song? Sure, all the time - but I've never thought, "Ugh, this verse is boring, the next one's WAY better, ARGH."
Obviously, I'm being facetious - but seriously, I'm completely missing the point of the request.

There was a time when there were no decent apps for playing back Audiobooks so that was ONE reason why a seek bar (and maybe bookmarking?!) would have been hugely helpful. There still aren't any that are as simple as drag-dropping the audio files (you have to use RSS or transfer the files from OneDrive). I can imagine listening to recorded lectures, for example, would pose a similar problem.
Pretty much any situation in which you find yourself dealing with relatively large/long audio files.

Hi guys.
As I have mentioned it before I have started working on a YouTube Player for Android Auto, but since I'm not a big youtuber myself I will like to get some input from you guys on how this should app work.
My thought till now are:
1) When you are outside Android Auto, you will need to open the app, give permission to access your content and sync your playlists to the app.
2) When in Android Auto, the media player will contain entries for each PlayList and all the items of a playlist will be listed as subitems. This part will work as any other media app.
3) Video playback, this will be on the fifth tab, same menu structure, but it will also display video, of course only when the car is stopped, other than that video playback will be disabled.
4) Provide search for individual songs.
- Is there any other way you usually use Youtube beside created playlists, if yes please tell me so I can understand what should I build.
Sync before use - Why is it needed?
- To be able to use the YouTube API which gives me access to your playlist and content I need to create a developer API. The API is limited to 1.000.000 trade units per day, every query has it's own unit value (not necessarily 1) so if I don't sync the playlist and use a fetch as needed approach, I will risk to run out of trade units when the user base grows bigger.
Any comments suggestions are welcomed.
Hello, I am very interested in this application.
It would be very useful if you could choose the quality of the video.
I want buy it
Hi,
Why a YouTube player, and not any other type of player? Several opensource players with local support exists. Why not use some of these as a base?

Local players do exist for audio, and it's easy to create an app for AA for them, but YouTube is more problematic, and yeah it's a bit against youtube policy because you shouldn't have sound without video, so officially that app will never be created (maybe with youtube red).
However this project did not receive too much attention so it's on a backburner at the moment, probably till end of November.

Ahh, Ok! You think in audio only YouTube player.
I hope someone will start to develop a Xposed module that "rewrites" the MainActivity of any selected App and add AA support on-the-fly! This will be more similar to MirrorLink (not supported in a lot of devices).
Regards.

Audio only + video when the car is parked/not moving.
Video Player app for Android Auto, maybe based to VLC that is open source would be very useful and i'll buy it surely

Why isn't there any more attention for this?
Listen to Youtube playlists and watching video while parking would be a killer feature for AA.

Here's my attempt to make YouTube work on Android auto.
www.thekirankumar.com/blog/2017/12/29/play-youtube-video-android-auto-app
It's an apk you download and install on phone and it allowd use of YouTube mobile site on Android auto. Enjoy !
Hi all here,
I am the author of what's called an unofficial Android Auto SDK, a piece of software
which allows creating custom Android Auto apps.
Because the poster of the previous message used this SDK, I believe it's
important that I quote my statement about video-in-motion AA apps from
the thread linked above also here. Please read below.

Dear all,
it is a good moment to say my final word specifically about the kind of apps
which allow playing videos on the head unit.
I think these don't need much comment:
It's ok to have a movie together on a great trip in middle of nowhere, when stopped.
It's not ok to watch a movie while driving. It doesn't need any comment.
It's totally ok for the passenger to watch a movie on his/her own device.
It's not ok for a passenger to watch a movie on a display in front of the driver.
It's ok to show off how a wonderful head unit I have which can play YT, but not while driving.
It's not ok to watch a movie while driving just to do a forbidden thing.
There's no "it's ok" scenario here for playing movies while in motion. Please share if you
know some. I'm pretty sure these are very uncommon or borderline ok.
Those "it's not ok" may be tempting. Because the driver may be bored, pissed off,
deny the danger of driving distracted, willing to show off, overestimate his/her skills,
name your reason.
Words displayed in the dash or written on a website or anywhere else would rarely
prevent it.
It's not that if movies are not possible in these cases, the driver will definitely do
something else stupid, like playing the video on the phone itself or become even more
angry and aggressive on road.
I want to say that clearly: I believe no apps should allow playing videos on the
car display while the car is in motion. Period.
I ask all here to not write such apps and not promote and talk about them here.
Instead of supporting those who create these apps just to satisfy popular demand of
doing a forbidden thing, please support those who actually care about creatively
and carefully designing the apps to be useful and which assertively, yet nicely
prevent being used in a stupid way.
Regards,
martoreto
