- Actually made progress on MediaCodec patch[es].
- Output going through SurfaceTexture, which avoids all of the YUV conversion insanity. This should be highly reliable and performant once finished up.
- Now working on stability fixes, learned a lot about how to use MediaCodec from Grafika, a collection of samples made available by Google (or a googler): https://github.com/google/grafika/
- Landed the Android support for the network change notifications. We should do a lot better now when you switch wifi -> 3g, etc.
