Description

this is a feature request.
I'm rather confident Arturo has been already addressing the theme.
I've been having a look at android docs and NDK, but couldn't get a clear view of the involved complexity and of real possibilities.
Should be possible to pass a SurfaceTexture through JNI? can a SurfaceTexture be generated in the OF GLSurfaceView context and then set to be used as the sink for the video portion of the media?
I'm a bit confused about it, sorry
