Setup

Windows

Everything ready.

Linux

System shared libraries from distribution specific user-installed packages are used by-default. You can install these as follows.

Ubuntu / Debian

sudo apt install libmpv-dev mpv

Packaging

There are other ways to bundle these within your app package e.g. within Snap or Flatpak. Few examples:

• Celluloid
• VidCutter

Note: macos is not tested (if you have any problems open an issue)

macOS

Everything ready.

The minimum supported macOS version is 11.0,set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 11.0 macos\Runner.xcodeproj\project.pbxproj

Also, during the build phase, the following warnings are not critical and cannot be silenced:

#import "Headers/media_kit_video-Swift.h"
        ^
/path/to/media_kit/media_kit_test/build/macos/Build/Products/Debug/media_kit_video/media_kit_video.framework/Headers/media_kit_video-Swift.h:270:31: warning: 'objc_ownership' only applies to Objective-C object or block pointer types; type here is 'CVPixelBufferRef' (aka 'struct __CVBuffer *')
- (CVPixelBufferRef _Nullable __unsafe_unretained)copyPixelBuffer SWIFT_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT;

# 1 "<command line>" 1
 ^
<command line>:20:9: warning: 'POD_CONFIGURATION_DEBUG' macro redefined
#define POD_CONFIGURATION_DEBUG 1 DEBUG=1 
        ^
#define POD_CONFIGURATION_DEBUG 1
        ^

iOS (replace original video_player with media_kit one)

1. The minimum supported iOS version is 13.0, so the target needs to be set IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 13.0 in ios\Runner.xcodeproj\project.pbxproj
2. Just add this package in case you set iosUseMediaKit to true in initMeeduPlayer

dependencies:
  ...
  media_kit_libs_ios_video: ^1.0.5         # iOS package for video (& audio) native libraries.

Also, software rendering is forced in the iOS simulator, due to an incompatibility with OpenGL ES.

Android (replace original video_player with media_kit one)

1. Just add this package in case you set androidUseMediaKit to true in initMeeduPlayer

dependencies:
  ...
  media_kit_libs_android_video: ^1.2.0           # Android package for video native libraries.

hls on web
