# ExoPlayer AV1 module
|
|
|
|
The AV1 module provides `Libgav1VideoRenderer`, which uses libgav1 native
|
|
library to decode AV1 videos.
|
|
|
|
## License note
|
|
|
|
Please note that whilst the code in this repository is licensed under
|
|
[Apache 2.0][], using this module 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 the module you need to clone this GitHub project and depend on its
|
|
modules locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the
|
|
[top level README][].
|
|
|
|
In addition, it's necessary to fetch cpu_features library and libgav1 with its
|
|
dependencies as follows:
|
|
|
|
* Set the following environment variables:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd "<path to project checkout>"
|
|
AV1_MODULE_PATH="$(pwd)/extensions/av1/src/main"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Fetch cpu_features library:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd "${AV1_MODULE_PATH}/jni" && \
|
|
git clone https://github.com/google/cpu_features
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Fetch libgav1:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd "${AV1_MODULE_PATH}/jni" && \
|
|
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/codecs/libgav1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Fetch Abseil:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd "${AV1_MODULE_PATH}/jni/libgav1" && \
|
|
git clone https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp.git third_party/abseil-cpp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* [Install CMake][].
|
|
|
|
Having followed these steps, gradle will build the module automatically when run
|
|
on the command line or via Android Studio, using [CMake][] and [Ninja][] to
|
|
configure and build libgav1 and the module's [JNI wrapper library][].

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

|
|
## Using the module
|
|
|
|
Once you've followed the instructions above to check out, build and depend on
|
|
the module, the next step is to tell ExoPlayer to use `Libgav1VideoRenderer`.
|
|
How you do this depends on which player API you're using:
|
|
|
|
* If you're passing a `DefaultRenderersFactory` to `ExoPlayer.Builder`, you
|
|
can enable using the module by setting the `extensionRendererMode` parameter
|
|
of the `DefaultRenderersFactory` constructor to
|
|
`EXTENSION_RENDERER_MODE_ON`. This will use `Libgav1VideoRenderer` for
|
|
playback if `MediaCodecVideoRenderer` doesn't support decoding the input AV1
|
|
stream. Pass `EXTENSION_RENDERER_MODE_PREFER` to give `Libgav1VideoRenderer`
|
|
priority over `MediaCodecVideoRenderer`.
|
|
* If you've subclassed `DefaultRenderersFactory`, add a
|
|
`Libvgav1VideoRenderer` to the output list in `buildVideoRenderers`.
|
|
ExoPlayer will use the first `Renderer` in the list that supports the input
|
|
media format.
|
|
* If you've implemented your own `RenderersFactory`, return a
|
|
`Libgav1VideoRenderer` 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 `Libgav1VideoRenderer` 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.
|
|
You need to make sure you are passing a `Libgav1VideoRenderer` to the player and
|
|
then you need to implement your own logic to use the renderer for a given track.
|
|
|
|
## Using the module in the demo application
|
|
|
|
To try out playback using the module in the [demo application][], see

[enabling extension decoders][].

|
## Rendering options
|
|
|
|
There are two possibilities for rendering the output `Libgav1VideoRenderer`
|
|
gets from the libgav1 decoder:
|
|
|
|
* GL rendering using GL shader for color space conversion
|
|
|
|
* If you are using `ExoPlayer` with `PlayerView` or
|
|
`StyledPlayerView`, enable this option by setting `surface_type` of view
|
|
to be `video_decoder_gl_surface_view`.
|
|
* Otherwise, enable this option by sending `Libgav1VideoRenderer` a
|
|
message of type `Renderer.MSG_SET_VIDEO_OUTPUT` with an instance of
|
|
`VideoDecoderOutputBufferRenderer` as its object.
|
|
`VideoDecoderGLSurfaceView` is the concrete
|
|
`VideoDecoderOutputBufferRenderer` implementation used by
|
|
`PlayerView` and `StyledPlayerView`.
|
|
|
|
* Native rendering using `ANativeWindow`
|
|
|
|
* If you are using `ExoPlayer` with `PlayerView` or
|
|
`StyledPlayerView`, this option is enabled by default.
|
|
* Otherwise, enable this option by sending `Libgav1VideoRenderer` a
|
|
message of type `Renderer.MSG_SET_VIDEO_OUTPUT` with an instance of
|
|
`SurfaceView` as its object.
|
|
|
|
Note: Although the default option uses `ANativeWindow`, based on our testing the
|
|
GL rendering mode has better performance, so should be preferred
