# ExoPlayer Flac extension #
|
|
|
|
The Flac extension provides `FlacExtractor` and `LibflacAudioRenderer`, which
|
|
use libFLAC (the Flac decoding library) to extract and decode FLAC audio.
|
|

## License note ##
|
|
|
|
Please note that whilst the code in this repository is licensed under
|
|
[Apache 2.0][], using this extension also requires building and including one or
|
|
more external libraries as described below. These are licensed separately.
|
|
|
|
[Apache 2.0]: https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/blob/release-v2/LICENSE

|
## Build instructions (Linux, macOS) ##
|
|
|
|
To use this extension you need to clone the ExoPlayer repository and depend on
|
|
its modules locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in ExoPlayer's
|
|
[top level README][].
|
|
|
|
In addition, it's necessary to build the extension's native components as
|
|
follows:
|
|
|
|
* Set the following environment variables:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd "<path to exoplayer checkout>"
|
|
EXOPLAYER_ROOT="$(pwd)"
|
|
FLAC_EXT_PATH="${EXOPLAYER_ROOT}/extensions/flac/src/main"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Download the [Android NDK][] and set its location in an environment variable.
|
|
This build configuration has been tested on NDK r20.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
NDK_PATH="<path to Android NDK>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Download and extract flac-1.3.2 as "${FLAC_EXT_PATH}/jni/flac" folder:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd "${FLAC_EXT_PATH}/jni" && \
|
|
curl https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/releases/flac/flac-1.3.2.tar.xz | tar xJ && \
|
|
mv flac-1.3.2 flac
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Build the JNI native libraries from the command line:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd "${FLAC_EXT_PATH}"/jni && \
|
|
${NDK_PATH}/ndk-build APP_ABI=all -j4
|
|
```

## Build instructions (Windows) ##
|
|
|
|
We do not provide support for building this extension on Windows, however it
|
|
should be possible to follow the Linux instructions in [Windows PowerShell][].

## Using the extension ##
|
|
|
|
Once you've followed the instructions above to check out, build and depend on
|
|
the extension, the next step is to tell ExoPlayer to use the extractor and/or
|
|
renderer.
|
|
|
|
### Using `FlacExtractor` ###
|
|
|
|
`FlacExtractor` is used via `ExtractorMediaSource`. If you're using
|
|
`DefaultExtractorsFactory`, `FlacExtractor` will automatically be used to read
|
|
`.flac` files. If you're not using `DefaultExtractorsFactory`, return a
|
|
`FlacExtractor` from your `ExtractorsFactory.createExtractors` implementation.
|
|
|
|
### Using `LibflacAudioRenderer` ###
|
|
|
|
* If you're passing a `DefaultRenderersFactory` to `SimpleExoPlayer.Builder`,
|
|
you can enable using the extension by setting the `extensionRendererMode`
|
|
parameter of the `DefaultRenderersFactory` constructor to
|
|
`EXTENSION_RENDERER_MODE_ON`. This will use `LibflacAudioRenderer` for
|
|
playback if `MediaCodecAudioRenderer` doesn't support the input format. Pass
|
|
`EXTENSION_RENDERER_MODE_PREFER` to give `LibflacAudioRenderer` priority over
|
|
`MediaCodecAudioRenderer`.
|
|
* If you've subclassed `DefaultRenderersFactory`, add a `LibflacAudioRenderer`
|
|
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
|
|
`LibflacAudioRenderer` 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 `LibflacAudioRenderer` 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 `LibflacAudioRenderer` to the
|
|
player, then implement your own logic to use the renderer for a given track.
