ffmpeg-android-example

Example app that use ffmpeg library to play video.

Requirements

1. Installed Android NDK,
2. Builded project https://github.com/HausnerR/ffmpeg-android-build.

Howto

1. Make sure paths to SDK and NDK in local.properties are valid,
2. Make sure paths to pre-builded ffmpeg in Android.mk are valid,
3. Push test.mp4 to your phone internal storage root folder,
4. Build and run app.

Important things

Remember that supported formats depends on ffmpeg compile params. If you compile this example with not modified ffmpeg-android-build script, you only get support for playing local mp4 files.

This example by default use h264_mediacodec ffmpeg decoder. If it failed to initialize, you got error (no fallback written).

All errors are outputted to logcat. No popups or something. It's just example app.
