video - How can I make Android's VideoView to read padded file? -


is possible android's videoview read mp4 file skip first 512 bytes?

our client not want videos transferred/copied on different devices. did "obfuscate" mp4 file adding random 512 bytes @ beginning of file , renaming files different file extension.

obviously, above approach not protect videos being pirated. he's fine enough protection "non-techies".

currently, upon playing video, our android app extracts actual video content new temporary file skipping first 512 bytes. temp file 1 played videoview.

the problem takes long time our videos more 100mb+ each. not acceptable solution.

i think, if can make videoview skip first 512 bytes, we're set. possible? if not, better alternatives?

disclaimer: i'm web developer of server app adds 512-byte padding. i'm not android developer. i'm posting question on behalf of android dev colleague. forgive me if our approach totally noob. feel free suggest better (and hopefully) easy ways.

if "skipping" want jump point in video can use videoview#seekto(int msec). method skips start on duration video.

if want cut video @ beginning or other modifications 1 solution pre-process in server , stream result app. way app won't have handle heavy pre-processing , more importantly avoid downloading whole video file in advance.

css - SVG using textPath a symbol not rendering in Firefox -

using textpath within symbol doesn't render in firefox. renders fine in latest chrome , ie, when try reference symbol, svg text doesn't render in firefox (37.0.1) - first box appears empty. code below (no external dependencies), there should 2 boxes word test flowing vertically in centre of each. edit: thought issue somehow involved flexbox layout, until paul pointed out issue exists without flexbox layout. the html is: <div> <svg id="not_working" viewbox="0 0 250 1200" preserveaspectratio="xmidymid meet"> <symbol id="test_symbol1" preserveaspectratio="xmidymid meet" viewbox="0 0 250 1200"> <path id="test_symbol_path" d="m 100 1200 l 100 0" /> <text font-size="100" fill="red"> <textpath text-anchor="middle" startoffset="50%" xlink:href="#test_symbol_path&q
