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.
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.
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.

on mac: you have to install xcode and command tools from xcode preferences you have to install (on mac you can use brew command from homebrew): you have to install:
- autoconf
- autoconf-archive
- automake
- pkg-config
- git
- svn
on Debian/Ubuntu - you can use apt-get
on Mac - you can use tool brew from homebrew project. You have additionally install xcode.
Please read instruciton very carefully. A lot of people had trouble because they did not read this manual with attention. If you have some problems or questions do not send me emails. 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.
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.

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".
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.shDuring 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
