Ogg on G1

[DaveFilms]

I need help with Ogg on G1 Android. It will not play.

[Dave Johnson]

I want to know if I need a ogg player?

[Andrew Gorcester]

Currently there is absolutely no way to play Ogg files on Android.
The current version of the OS does not support it. It might be
possible to implement support for Ogg entirely in a downloadable
application, but if it is possible I don't think it's been done yet.

Ogg audio files play fine -- I did that on the emulator and device
yesterday.

Ogg Theora video, though, I have not tried.

I was testing Ogg Vorbis in the context of developing an application, so
the file was bundled as a raw resource and played using the MediaPlayer
class. So, if you are developing your own application, it should just
work, at least as of RC30.

If you are inquiring about Ogg Vorbis being played by the built-in Music
application, though, I have no idea. You might see if there is a
third-party player in the Android Market.

Ogg audio files should work using the standard android music player.
Also, all the built-in ringtones on the G1 are in Ogg format.

No market apps yet.
I will try to make one.

As long as the files have a .ogg extension, they should play with the
built-in music player. We rely on the file extensions because there is
no centralized file recognizer for the media scanner.
