FFmpeg for
Android
Introduction
=======================================================
FFmpeg for
Android is a set of
Android makefiles which enable configuration
and building
FFmpeg library under
Android source code tree with
Android
NDK.
While working as a system integrator, I have come upon more than few
Android ports of
FFmpeg library. All of them have some non-features in
common:
- It is not possible to use configure script to configure the library. This
may lead to invalid library configuration and output and degraded
performance or feature set.
- Some
FFmpeg libraries are missing. Usually, only libavutil, libav
codec
and libavformat are built.
-
FFmpeg tools (
ffmpeg, ffplay, ffprobe, ffserver) are missing.
- Manually added files into
Android.mk, usually without proper
understanding of dependencies between files and function of each file
in a library.
- Configuration is locked to single architecture.
- The library can not be built in parallel for different target products
and architectures. This is important for large test environments.
- Missing or incomplete compiler and linker flags.
- Building library in a "It compiles = It is working" manner.
- Building library as a large single file.
This project is my attempt to address these and many other issues and
create makefiles for building
FFmpeg library under
Android source code tree
which will create output as close as possible to the output of "regular"
building p
rocess using standalone toolchain. These makefiles are result of
combining and extending various makefiles I have found on the web and
during my work.
Makefiles are tested and are working fine on:
Build host OS: Ubuntu 12.04
Android target OS:
Android Master branch
Architecture: arm, mips, x86
SDK + NDK release: highest available, selected during building
Product:
aosp_arm-eng,
aosp_mips-eng,
aosp_x86-eng
FFmpeg releases: Latest releases from 0.7, 2.0 and HEAD branches
====================
Features
====================
- On-the-fly library configuration.
FFmpeg will be configured on-the-fly,
during
Android building p
rocess, in accordance to the selected product,
cpu architecture, cpu architecture variant, and fine tuning cpu
parameters.
- Configuration driven building. No need to manually add filenames to the
makefiles, or hack through the library in order to get the build you
want.
- Per product configuration. Every TARGET_PRODUCT will have its own
configuration.
- Builds all libraries and tools, except ffplay.
- Builds both shared and static libraries.
- Builds latest releases from 0.7, 2.0 and HEAD branches.
- Supports parallel building from the same source for the different
products.
===========================================================================
Known issues
===========================================================================
- For a very long time now, I was not able to make a release which can
build for all three major architectures - arm, mips and x86.
Sometimes problem was compiler, and sometimes problems were assembler
instructions. For the sake of making update to recent
FFmpeg version,
I released makefiles which are not able to build all version to all
platforms.
With this release, you can build only:
For ARM: HEAD, 2.1.4, 0.7.16
For MIPS: 0.7.16
For X86: None
===========================================================================
Note
===========================================================================
Due to the overwhelming load on my build testing equipment, I have
dramatically reduced supported versions, platforms and
Android OS
versions. From now on, the supported branches will be 0.7 as the last
0.6 ABI compatible, latest official release and HEAD.
===========================================================================
Usage
===========================================================================
Extract
ffmpeg-<version>.
android.tar.gz into
Android source code tree, at
location:
<
android-src-root-dir>/external
Files will be located in:
<
android-src-root-dir>/external/
ffmpeg-<version>.
android
Edit
Android_configuration.mk and apply your customizations to the
./configure parameters, if needed.
Initialize
Android build environment:
cd <
android-src-root-dir>
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch <product>
To configure and build the library, run
make
or
cd external/
ffmpeg-<version>.
android; mm;
If there is no existing library configuration for a selected product, the
library will be configured on the fly, during building p
rocess, with
parameters provided in
Android_configuration.mk. Whenever you change
configuration parameters, the library will be reconfigured.
Compiled
FFmpeg libraries and tools will have version suffix, eg
libav
codec-2.0.a, libavutil-2.0.so, ffprobe-2.0
===========================================================================
Support
===========================================================================
Since
Android is changing daily, and releases are tested only on a release
day, it is possible that after some time you will have issues with
building
FFmpeg for
Android.
Feel free to post on discussion board:
https://sourceforge.net/p/
ffmpeg4
android/discussion/
Feel free to report issues:
https://sourceforge.net/p/
ffmpeg4
android/tickets/
I will try to respond in a timely manner.
===========================================================================
Plan
===========================================================================
Short term plan is to test and update scripts to work on more architectures
and platforms.
Long term plan is to continue to provide scripts for latest
FFmpeg library
releases, as they appear.
The Ultimate plan is to try to make scripts part of official
FFmpeg
library, once they are stable and robust enough.
===========================================================================
License:
===========================================================================
Please, note that
FFmpeg library and
FFmpeg for
Android makefiles for
building it under
Android source code tree are two different projects.
FFmpeg for
Android makefiles are licensed under whatever license You are
using
FFmpeg.
