External Libraries

This project generates binaries for FFmpegKit, FFmpeg and the following external libraries. FFmpegKit top level build scripts (android.sh, ios.sh, macos.sh and tvos.sh) download the source code of these external libraries and compile them according to the build options provided.

External Libraries

These libraries are supported by FFmpeg and needs to be compiled before FFmpeg when enabled. Below you can see the list of external libraries supported by FFmpegKit and supplementary libraries they depend on.
