Comment on AIR 3 enables hardware decoding of H.264 video in iOS apps by Will

Just FYI…
Not sure what the differences are but im finding the following…
- Setting gpu is enabling hardware rendering for me on iPad2.
- Setting direct does not enable hardware rendering on iPad2.
I can clearly see a difference in performance between these 2 settings. Perhaps this is a recent change in AIR 3? From what I’ve read the only value that’s honored for renderMode is gpu. Anything else and it defaults to the standard rendering.

I am compiling from FlashBuilder 4.5 with the AIR 3 SDK and targeting FP11 on iOS. Testing on iPad2.

All the logos are great, but this was my favorite.

For me, it is very appealing & memorable even if it is only seen for a moment.

It also communicates using the best tool for the job.

More specifically, since it relates visually to the HTML 5 logo, it is a subtle reminder that mixing the two technologies allows 1) open standards to defend an open web (shield) and 2) a tightly controlled system (flash / flex) to quickly innovate the web (strike).

Further, it may also suggest that the best innovations can be brought into the open standard.

Great work.

Comment on Linking to local files in StageWebView by Randy

I had the same thought but have not gotten around to tackling it. The problem is that you don’t know the URL to the css. You could load the CSS separately and inject it into the HTML text before applying it the the Stage Web View. Hmmmm … gotta try that.

very cool! Any chance this method could be updated to support a .css file along side the html file?

Did you seriously manage to get an AIR for IOS app to playback an HLS (.m3u8) file streaming off of FMS4.5 ? If you don’t mind, could you share the FXP for such a project. I been banging my head against the wall with this for some time and would sure appreciate it.

Yeah HLS on IOS rocks with AIR!
Just to add to this you can also use Wowza to do the streaming or i think any other server which can server HLS streams so you`re not limited to FMS which makes it even better!

I did some tests and this is what I found:
- renderMode: “gpu” is only for Android devices
- renderMode: “direct” is for iOS devices
To enable the hardware decoding on iOS renderMode must be “direct”. “gpu” works only with Android.
