This library provides a Rust interface for FFmpeg libraries. Rather than supporting all FFmpeg features, we focus on safety and simplicity of the interface.

• Demuxing any self-contained media container
• Muxing any self-contained media container
• Setting metadata
• Seeking
• Decoding audio and video
• Encoding audio and video
• Video frame scaling and pixel format transformations
• Audio resampling
• Bitstream filters

• FFmpeg v4.x or v5.x libraries. The following libraries are required:
  • libavutil
  • libavcodec
  • libavformat
  • libswresample
  • libswscale

The following env. variables can be used to set correct paths to FFmpeg header files and libraries:

• FFMPEG_INCLUDE_DIR - path to the FFmpeg header files
• FFMPEG_LIB_DIR - path to the FFmpeg libs

If you require building for multiple platforms, you can append _PLATFORM_TARGET_TRIPLET to both of the above to create platform specific env. variables, for example:

• FFMPEG_INCLUDE_DIR_AARCH64_LINUX_ANDROID = ${jniInclude}/arm64-v8a/
• FFMPEG_LIB_DIR_AARCH64_LINUX_ANDROID = ${jniLibs}/arm64-v8a/
• FFMPEG_INCLUDE_DIR_X86_64_LINUX_ANDROID = ${jniInclude}/x86_64/
• FFMPEG_LIB_DIR_X86_64_LINUX_ANDROID = ${jniLibs}/x86_64/

If you prefer static linking, you can force it using:

• FFMPEG_STATIC=1

Even though this library is distributed under the MIT license, the FFmpeg project has its own license policies that need to be respected. See https://ffmpeg.org/legal.html for more details.
