FfmpegAudioRenderer

Description

The FFmpeg extension is a Renderer implementation that uses FFmpeg to decode audio.

Build instructions

To use this extension you need to clone the ExoPlayer repository and depend on its modules locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in ExoPlayer's top level README. In addition, it's necessary to build the extension's native components as follows:

• Set the following environment variables:

cd "<path to exoplayer checkout>"
EXOPLAYER_ROOT="$(pwd)"
FFMPEG_EXT_PATH="${EXOPLAYER_ROOT}/extensions/ffmpeg/src/main"

• Download the Android NDK and set its location in an environment variable:

NDK_PATH="<path to Android NDK>"

• Set up host platform ("darwin-x86_64" for Mac OS X):

HOST_PLATFORM="linux-x86_64"

• Fetch and build FFmpeg. For example, to fetch and build for armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a and x86 on Linux x86_64:

COMMON_OPTIONS="\

    --disable-static \
    --enable-shared \

    --disable-avfilter \
    --disable-symver \
    --disable-swresample \
    --enable-avresample \
    --enable-decoder=vorbis \
    --enable-decoder=opus \
    --enable-decoder=flac \
    " && \
cd "${FFMPEG_EXT_PATH}/jni" && \
git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg ffmpeg && cd ffmpeg && \
./configure \

    ${COMMON_OPTIONS} \
    && \
make -j4 && make install-libs && \
make clean && ./configure \
    --libdir=android-libs/arm64-v8a \
    --arch=aarch64 \
    --cpu=armv8-a \
    --cross-prefix="${NDK_PATH}/toolchains/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/${HOST_PLATFORM}/bin/aarch64-linux-android-" \

    --extra-ldexeflags=-pie \
    ${COMMON_OPTIONS} \
    && \
make -j4 && make install-libs && \
make clean && ./configure \
    --libdir=android-libs/x86 \
    --arch=x86 \
    --cpu=i686 \
    --cross-prefix="${NDK_PATH}/toolchains/x86-4.9/prebuilt/${HOST_PLATFORM}/bin/i686-linux-android-" \
    --sysroot="${NDK_PATH}/platforms/android-9/arch-x86/" \
    --extra-ldexeflags=-pie \
    --disable-asm \
    ${COMMON_OPTIONS} \
    && \
make -j4 && make install-libs && \
make clean

• Build the JNI native libraries, setting APP_ABI to include the architectures built in the previous step. For example:

cd "${FFMPEG_EXT_PATH}"/jni && \
${NDK_PATH}/ndk-build APP_ABI="armeabi-v7a arm64-v8a x86" -j4
