Vitamio

Upgrade from 3.0

You don't need to change anything once 4.0 is finally released. But if you want to use it right now, warnnings below:

1. If you use RGBA_8888 surface to render video, you use the VideoView from Vitamio, nothing to do. Otherwise, you must add getHolder().setFormat(PixelFormat.RGBA_8888) to your own VideoView. If you use RGB_565 surface render video, you must add getHolder().setFormat(PixelFormat.RGB_565) and setVideoChroma(MediaPlayer.VIDEOCHROMA_RGB565)
