FFmpeg Prebuilt Android

Prebuilt FFmpeg Android

This repo contains build scripts to build FFmpeg executable binary for Android and also publish prebuilt files here. There are two build flavors: FULL and LITE

• LITE is a version that optimized binrary size, so it only includes small set features to work with most commom formats and codecs.
  • ABI and android version supported:
    • armeabi (Android 16+)
    • armeabi-v7a, armeabi-v7a-neon, (Android 16+)
    • x86 (Android 16+)
    • arm64-v8a (Android 21+)
    • x86_64 (Android 21+)
    • mips (Android 16+) (No longer support)
    • mips64 (Android 21+) (No longer support)
  • Addition libraries: libmp3lame, libshine, libopus, libvorbis
• FULL is a version compiled full FFmpeg feature, include https support protocol.
  • ABI and android version supported:
    • armeabi (Android 21+)
    • armeabi-v7a, armeabi-v7a-neon, (Android 21+)
    • x86 (Android 21+)
    • arm64-v8a (Android 21+)
    • x86_64 (Android 21+)
  • Include libraries in LITE version, plus with: libfdk-aac (non-free), libx264, openssl (thanks to leenjewel/openssl_for_ios_and_android)

Build

Prerequisites:

• Android NDK r15
• export NDK=path/to/android-ndk

Build:

export NDK=path/to/android-ndk
cd build_scripts

FLAVOR=full       # or "lite"
TARGET=armv7-a    # Support targets: "arm", "armv7-a", "arm-v7n", "arm64-v8a", "i686", "x86_64"
BUILD_DIR=$(pwd)/build_dir
FINAL_DIR=$(pwd)/final/$TARGET

./build_ffmpeg.sh $TARGET $FLAVOR $BUILD_DIR $FINAL_DIR

The ffmpeg binary should in folder $FINAL_DIR/$TARGET/$FLAVOR/ffmpeg after build succeed.

ffmpeg-binary-android's Issues

libx264 Support

Can you please provide support for libx264 in lite version?

Lite version "Codec 'mp3' is known to FFmpeg, but no encoders for it are available. FFmpeg might need to be recompiled with additional external libraries."

Hi, x86_64 lite version compiles fine and I can see it is using --enable-libmp3lame . But, when you try something like
ffmpeg -i a.wav output.mp3

you get
Automatic encoder selection failed for output stream #0:0. Default encoder for format mp3 (codec mp3) is probably disabled. Please choose an encoder manually.

then I try

ffmpeg -i a.wav -codec:a libmp3lame output.mp3

and I get

Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame'

More License details required!

I guess it would be better, if you could elaborate more on the license.

Full Version( With x264) - should be under GPLv3 License
Lite Version(Without x264) - LGPLv3 License

A quick mention on the Readme file should be good enough.

binary with hls support?

Can you compile binary version with HLS support?
ex. -hls_time does not work on the latest binary you posted

Always getting ERROR: opus not found using pkg-config (tried both on mac and Ubuntu )

Any suggestion

Need freetype and fontconfig libraries

hi, i need libfreetype and libfontconfig library on lite build.
i append --enable-libfreetype and --enable-libfontconfig, but ERROR: freetype2 not found.

my edit build file:

LIBFREETYPE_VERSION="2.9"
if [ ! -d "freetype-$LIBFREETYPE_VERSION" ]; then
    echo "Downloading libfreetype-$LIBFREETYPE_VERSION"
    curl -O "https://cytranet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/freetype/freetype2/2.9/freetype-$LIBFREETYPE_VERSION.tar.bz2"
    tar -xf "freetype-$LIBFREETYPE_VERSION.tar.bz2"
else
    echo "Using existing `pwd`/freetype-$LIBFREETYPE_VERSION"
fi

and

pushd freetype-${LIBFREETYPE_VERSION}
./configure \
    --prefix=$PREFIX \
    --host=$HOST \
    --enable-static \
    --disable-shared 

make clean
make -j8
make install
popd

ERROR: freetype2 not found.

can you help me?

ERROR: libx264 not found

Hi, firstly many thanks for great scripts and tutorials.

NDK=15rc
OS=macOS High Siera
We use your script files.

I uncommented x264 line both native-mac and armv7a then, added build ..sh files --enable-libx264 option for ffmpeg. Its result was native-mac compilation was successful but armv7a was failed. And then added
--disable-opencl \ for x264 into configure options, it's failed again. Updating to ffmpeg newer version did not change anything.

Could you recommend us anything else?

libvpx support

Any plans to include libvpx into precompiled full libs ?

Add h265 to full version

Hi, just an enhancement request.

Would you consider adding h265 encoding support to the precompiled version? Is there a good reason not to?

Thanks.

complete version

Hi ,Thanks for your repository .
how can we build the completed version?
or version that has filters...
could you make a complete version and push it or making an easy tutorial?

x86 has text relocations

When using the prebuilt binary I get the error

Could you compile it with --disable-asm so we can use it on the newer android versions?

Thanks!

Rotate metadata bug in ffmpeg 3.3

There seems to be a bug in ffmpeg 3.3 when setting the video metadata:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/6370

Could you please compile newer binaries with the latest ffmpeg?

I have tried it myself in the past, but have always encountered errors.

Can you help me? And as another user asked in another issue, could you compile and make available full versions of ffmpeg? I do not have any development skills, so I can not do this myself. Thank you so much for your time and great work!

ffmpeg 4.0 and demo app

Hello,

Thank you a lot for writing and making this code open source.
I've got two queries:

• Are you thinking about updating the prebuilt files to the latest FFmpeg 4.0?
• Any plans to include a form of utility class to make it more straightforward to use the FFmpeg library?

Your Android-Media-Converter project looks great, but I haven't gotten the time to learn Kotlin yet so finding the classes/methods that I need in order to use the binaries is kinda tough.

Thanks a bunch!
