# MPEG-H decoder module
The MPEG-H module provides `MpeghAudioRenderer`, which uses the libmpegh native
library to decode MPEG-H audio.
## License note
Please note that while the code in this repository is licensed under
[Apache 2.0][], using this module also requires building and including the
[Fraunhofer GitHub MPEG-H decoder][] which is licensed under the Fraunhofer
GitHub MPEG-H decoder project.
[Apache 2.0]: ../../LICENSE
[Fraunhofer GitHub MPEG-H decoder]: https://github.com/Fraunhofer-IIS/mpeghdec
## Build instructions (Linux, macOS)
To use the module you need to clone this GitHub project and depend on its
modules locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the
[top level README][].
In addition, it's necessary to fetch libmpegh library as follows:
* Set the following environment variables:
```
cd "<path to project checkout>"
MPEGH_MODULE_PATH="$(pwd)/libraries/decoder_mpegh/src/main"
```
* Fetch libmpegh library:
```
cd "${MPEGH_MODULE_PATH}/jni" && \
git clone https://github.com/Fraunhofer-IIS/mpeghdec.git --branch r2.0.0 libmpegh
```
* [Install CMake][].
Having followed these steps, gradle will build the module automatically when run
on the command line or via Android Studio, using [CMake][] and [Ninja][] to
configure and build mpeghdec and the module's [JNI wrapper library][].
[top level README]: ../../README.md
[Install CMake]: https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/install-ndk
[CMake]: https://cmake.org/
[Ninja]: https://ninja-build.org
[JNI wrapper library]: src/main/jni/mpeghdec_jni.cc
## Build instructions (Windows)
We do not provide support for building this module on Windows, however it should
be possible to follow the Linux instructions in [Windows PowerShell][].

## Using the module with ExoPlayer
Once you've followed the instructions above to check out, build and depend on
the module, the next step is to tell ExoPlayer to use `MpeghAudioRenderer`. How
you do this depends on which player API you're using:
* If you're passing a `DefaultRenderersFactory` to `ExoPlayer.Builder`, you
can enable using the module by setting the `extensionRendererMode` parameter
of the `DefaultRenderersFactory` constructor to
`EXTENSION_RENDERER_MODE_ON`. This will use `MpeghAudioRenderer` for
playback if `MediaCodecAudioRenderer` doesn't support the input format. Pass
`EXTENSION_RENDERER_MODE_PREFER` to give `MpeghAudioRenderer` priority over
`MediaCodecAudioRenderer`.
* If you've subclassed `DefaultRenderersFactory`, add a `MpeghAudioRenderer`
to the output list in `buildAudioRenderers`. ExoPlayer will use the first
`Renderer` in the list that supports the input media format.
* If you've implemented your own `RenderersFactory`, return a
`MpeghAudioRenderer` instance from `createRenderers`. ExoPlayer will use the
first `Renderer` in the returned array that supports the input media format.
* If you're using `ExoPlayer.Builder`, pass a `MpeghAudioRenderer` in the
array of `Renderer`s. ExoPlayer will use the first `Renderer` in the list
that supports the input media format.
Note: These instructions assume you're using `DefaultTrackSelector`. If you have
a custom track selector the choice of `Renderer` is up to your implementation,
so you need to make sure you are passing an `MpeghAudioRenderer` to the player,
then implement your own logic to use the renderer for a given track.
