olly dbb43567a3 Finalize v2 directory + package name
- The package is renamed to avoid conflicts with v1, should any
app wish to include both v1 and v2 for a period of time. This is
similar to the approach used by some other open source projects
(e.g. okhttp).
- Copyright year is updated everywhere for completeness.

ExoPlayer VP9 Extension

Description

The VP9 Extension is a TrackRenderer implementation that helps you bundle libvpx (the VP9 decoding library) into your app and use it along with ExoPlayer to play VP9 video on Android devices.

Build Instructions

  • Checkout ExoPlayer along with Extensions:
git clone https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer.git
  • Set the following environment variables:
cd "<path to exoplayer checkout>"
EXOPLAYER_ROOT="$(pwd)"
VP9_EXT_PATH="${EXOPLAYER_ROOT}/extensions/vp9/src/main"
  • Download the Android NDK and set its location in an environment variable:
NDK_PATH="<path to Android NDK>"
  • Fetch libvpx and libyuv:
cd "${VP9_EXT_PATH}/jni" && \
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libvpx libvpx && \
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv libyuv
  • Run a script that generates necessary configuration files for libvpx:
cd ${VP9_EXT_PATH}/jni && \
./generate_libvpx_android_configs.sh "${NDK_PATH}"
  • Build the JNI native libraries from the command line:
cd "${VP9_EXT_PATH}"/jni && \
${NDK_PATH}/ndk-build APP_ABI=all -j4
  • In your project, you can add a dependency to the VP9 Extension by using a the following rule:
// in settings.gradle
include ':..:ExoPlayer:library'
include ':..:ExoPlayer:extension-vp9'

// in build.gradle
dependencies {
    compile project(':..:ExoPlayer:library')
    compile project(':..:ExoPlayer:extension-vp9')
}
  • Now, when you build your app, the VP9 extension will be built and the native libraries will be packaged along with the APK.

Notes

  • Every time there is a change to the libvpx checkout:
    • Android config scripts should be re-generated by running generate_libvpx_android_configs.sh
    • Clean and re-build the project.
  • If you want to use your own version of libvpx or libyuv, place it in ${VP9_EXT_PATH}/jni/libvpx or ${VP9_EXT_PATH}/jni/libyuv respectively.
