Hi, Sorry for the late replay. The MediaCodec decoder wrapper in FFmpeg does not use the native API because at the time it was implemented, more than 40% of the devices were running Android 4.4 (which does not support the native API). The MediaCodec native API has also some limitation regarding codec probing, ie: it does not provide a wrapper around MediaCodecList/MediaCodecInfo. We use this capability to blacklist software codecs for example. I made our MediaCodec java wrapper implement the same API as the native one provided by the NDK so it shouldn't be too hard to switch. Moreover, Aman Gupta already already did this work in one of his branches. The "tricky" part about implementing MediaCodec encoding support in FFmpeg will be to fit the encoder input surface API into the libavcodec API. > thanks! > _______________________________________________ > ffmpeg-devel mailing list > ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org > https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel > > To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email > ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe". -- Matthieu B. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
