AndroidFFmpegLibrary

This project aims to create working library providing playing video files in android via ffmpeg libraries. With some effort and NDK knowledge you can use this ffmpeg libraries build to convert video files. We rather want to use ffmpeg library without modifications to facilitate updating of ffmpeg core.

Application screenshot

This project aim to simplify compilation of FFmpeg for android different architectures to one big apk file.

I'm afraid this project is not prepared for android beginners - build it and using it requires some NDK skills.

Moved source code

I moved project source code to our company review system https://review.appunite.com because I am used to benefit from review systems like Gerrit. There you can find newest not yet accepted source code. If you do not care of newest source code or contributing software you can just use github where you can reaches accepted commits.

First: look on past issues on github. Than: try figure out problem with google. If you did not find solution then you can ask on github issue tracker.

Installation

Before start

if you have a problem with certificate add GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true before git submodule update line

GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true  git submodule update

Im sorry about this certificate issue, but never is enough time to fix problems like those

If (only if) you have ssh key in appunite review system you should setup global alias in ~/.gitconfig file.

git config --global url.ssh://review.appunite.com.insteadOf https://review.appunite.com

Go to the work

downloading source code

git clone https://review.appunite.com/androidffmpeg AndroidFFmpeg
cd AndroidFFmpeg
git submodule init
git submodule sync #if you are updating source code
git submodule update
cd FFmpegLibrary
cd jni

download libyuv

# I hate svn too :)
svn checkout http://libyuv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ libyuv

setup freetype environemtn

cd freetype
./autogen.sh
cd ..

setup fribidi environemtn

cd fribidi

build external libraries

export NDK=/your/path/to/android-ndk
./build_android.sh

make sure that files FFmpegLibrary/jni/ffmpeg-build/{armeabi,armeabi-v7a,x86}/libffmpeg.so was created, otherwise you are in truble

build ndk jni library

ndk-build

make sure that files FFmpegLibrary/libs/{armeabi,armeabi-v7a,x86}/libffmpeg.so was created, otherwise you are in truble

build your project

android update lib-project -p FFmpegLibrary
android update project -p FFmpegExample
cd FFmpegExample
ant debug
ant installd

or create new projects from FFmpegLibrary and FFmpegExample source directories in your eclipse. Run FFmpegExample as your android project. If you have adt >= 20.0 you can click right mouse button on project and FFmpegLibrary project and "Android->Add native support".

More codecs

If you need more codecs:

  • edit build_android.sh

  • add more codecs in ffmpeg configuration section

  • remove old ffmpeg-build directory by

      rm -r ffmpeg-build

  • build ffmpeg end supporting libraries

      ./build_android.sh

    During this process make sure that ffmpeg configuration goes without error.

    After build make sure that files FFmpegLibrary/jni/ffmpeg-build/{armeabi,armeabi-v7a,x86}/libffmpeg.so was created, otherwise you are in truble

  • build your ndk library

      ndk-build

  • refresh your FFmpegLibrary project in eclipse!!!!

  • build your FFmpegExample project
