Compiling FFMPEG

I included pre-compiled binaries with this project but just in case you need to compile your own, here are the instructions:

1. Download NDK 5. It's now archived. As of 10/2013, this link works:

• http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r5-linux-x86.tar.bz2
• I'm not sure where to find versions for Windows or Mac
• Make sure that you install it to $HOME/android-ndk.

2. Download a version of FFmpeg that works with this project. We're using bambuser's. Download client version 1.3.7 to 1.3.10.
3. Extract the archive.
4. Copy extract.sh and the ffmpeg-*.tar.gz file into the JNI/ffmpeg-android folder.
5. Run extract.sh
6. Change build.sh to your liking. Hint: run configure --help from ffmpeg to find options to enable or disable.

• Make sure to enable the file protocol. You need that to open files on the phone.
• Enabling the non-free codecs gives more supported formats but it may not be compatible for the license of your project.

6. Rerun build.sh.
7. Run clean-build.sh.
