[vlc-devel] [PATCH 2/5] mediacodec: add hevc mimetype

[John Stebbins]

Ok.  I'll test to see if your OMX changes work on my box.  I think they should since I was able to make stagefright
playback in xbmc work.  The Measy is built on the rk3288 SoC.  There are a lot of very cheap (< $100) android players
based on this SoC becoming available now.
