libpd library Low latency support for video?


I recently found the libpd library which can be used when developing applications for Android. As I have understood, it can be used for example music related projects where low latency is required.

My question is if the library can be used with video as well? I need several video clips to be able to, on various Android devices, play simultaneously with as low latency as possible.

Solution

  • the short answer is "no".

    libpd encapsulates the audio (and message) domain of "Pure Data".

    for video, you will most likely be better of using a native solution.

    (afaik, none of the graphics externals for Pd has been ported to android yet).
