Support for OMX interface in Android StageFright software codecs

Do Android software codecs (for example OMX.PV.mpeg4enc) support OpenMAX (OMX) interface? For example, do they support standard OMX functions like OMX_FillThisBuffer, OMX_EmptyThisBuffer etc? Or only hardware decoder support OMX interface?

Yes. OMX.PV.mpeg4enc is an openmax component. But its no longer used in android.

This is a software codec, provided by packet video company. Only chipset vendors like TI, Qualcomm provide hardware codecs as OpenMAX IL components.

So yes, both software and hardware codecs support (and should support) OMX interface in order to be used by the media framework on Android.
