I am using a snapdragon 805 and require being able to use FFMPEG with hwaccel for encoding/decoding h264.
Is this possible with the 805 hardware assist, and if so, how /where can I find the library etc for this to be implimented?

Hi Fred,
You should look into MediaCodec (Java or NDK for native) library to do hardware based decoding. MediaCodec underhood uses libstagefright which via OMX interface will select best available decoder. You can review this sample for native implementation or similar available there - https://github.com/googlesamples/android-ndk/tree/master/native-codec
FFmpeg using hardware acceleration is not very clear and you will have to build library for Android to even use it.

Where can I get the API libraries for hexagon's video encoding/decoding dsp? I have downloaded hexagon sdk but cannot find documentaion or exaples on this topic.
