Tvheadend

All mentioned links are for Android Java applications. We need to know the support of the MPEG-TS input through NDK (Native Development Kit) APIs.

As I understand it you can access Android's Javi API interfaces with NDK applications too, just see Kodi/XBMC which is a C++ application that also uses the NDK. The Kodi development team have developed wrappers for JNI (Java Native Interface) to access functions and features that are made for Android Java applications. See:

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/tree/master/tools/android/packaging/xbmc/src/org/xbmc/kodi

Maybe it is possible to add a JNI wrapper for each of the TIF (TV Input Framework) objects?

Or are you saying that Google have made it impossible to NDK applications to access and use TIF (TV Input Framework)? If so then maybe there are possibly different workarounds for using Tvheadend on the Android OS? Like perhaps interface at a different layer?

I don't know. If Google has API for C language which we can use as input for MPEG-TS, then we can add it as the source.

I asked the same question to a VDR developer and got the answer that:

"in order to add support for Android TIF to VDR you will need to write a plugin that implements a class derived from cDevice.

You could use the existing 'rpihddevice' plugin as a starting point ( see https://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/vdr-plugin-rpihddevice.git ).

This plugin implements support for the Raspberry Pi."
