Media3Avi

Library with improved AVI support for Jetpack Media3 (formerly ExoPlayer)

Port of my original AVI library to support Media3. Although ExoPlayer/Media3 now has AVI support, it is quite limited. This should support most AVI files.

Usage

• Add Media3 to your app as described. https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/media3
• Add the dependencies to your project. See Using the Artifact for details.
  • Or just add the AAR as a module.

Construct ExoPlayer with these options:

Kotlin

val exoPlayer = ExoPlayer.Builder(context)
    // Core AVI Support
    .setMediaSourceFactory(DefaultMediaSourceFactory(context, AviExtractorsFactory()))
    // Optional MJPEG Support
    .setRenderersFactory(MjpegRenderersFactory(context))
    .build()

Java

ExoPlayer exoPlayer = new ExoPlayer.Builder(context)
    // Core AVI Support
    .setMediaSourceFactory(new DefaultMediaSourceFactory(context, new AviExtractorsFactory()))
    // Optional MJPEG Support
    .setRenderersFactory(new MjpegRenderersFactory(context))
    .build();

Codec Support Notes

• MP4V ASP (Xvid/Divx) support varies a lot by manufacturer. Pixel devices generally have limited support, where Samsung/Moto seem to have better support.
• MS MP4V (fourCC: MP42) is common in Avi files, but is not supported by any Android device I've found.
• AC3/DTS are common in Avi files, but many devices (Pixels) don't support these. You can build the ffmpeg audio extension for support on these devices. See Media3/ExoPlayer docs for more.

Using the artifact

Important: Version 2.3.0 on will be using jitpack.io. As such, there is a new artifact ID.

implementation 'com.github.dburckh:Media3Avi:2.3.0'

You will need to update your setting.gradle as below. More here: https://jitpack.io/#dburckh/Media3Avi

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
  }
}

Upgraders should remove the references to 'maven.pkg.github.com/dburckh' in your root build.gradle. You will no longer require GPR_USER/GPR_API_KEY environment variables either.
