FFmpeg support¶

FFmpeg A complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video.

Install FFmpeg¶

Download FFmpeg from here
./configure --disable-all --disable-autodetect --disable-podpages --disable-asm --enable-avcodec --enable-avformat --enable-decoders --enable-encoders --enable-demuxers --enable-parsers --enable-protocol='file' --enable-swscale --enable-zlib
make
sudo make install

Add FFmpeg to your project¶

Add library: FFmpeg (for GCC: -lavformat -lavcodec -lavutil -lswscale -lm -lz -lpthread)

Usage¶

Enable LV_USE_FFMPEG in lv_conf.h.

See the examples below.

Note that, the FFmpeg extension doesn't use LVGL's file system. You can simply pass the path to the image or video as usual on your operating system or platform.

Example¶

Decode image¶

#include "../../lv_examples.h"
#if LV_BUILD_EXAMPLES
#if LV_USE_FFMPEG

/**
 * Open an image from a file
 */
void lv_example_ffmpeg_1(void)
{
    lv_obj_t * img = lv_img_create(lv_scr_act());
    lv_img_set_src(img, "./lvgl/examples/libs/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.png");
    lv_obj_center(img);
}

#else

void lv_example_ffmpeg_1(void)
{
    /*TODO
     *fallback for online examples*/

    lv_obj_t * label = lv_label_create(lv_scr_act());
    lv_label_set_text(label, "FFmpeg is not installed");
    lv_obj_center(label);
}

#endif
#endif

Decode video¶

#include "../../lv_examples.h"
#if LV_BUILD_EXAMPLES
#if LV_USE_FFMPEG

/**
 * Open a video from a file
 */
void lv_example_ffmpeg_2(void)
{
    /*birds.mp4 is downloaded from http://www.videezy.com (Free Stock Footage by Videezy!)
     *https://www.videezy.com/abstract/44864-silhouettes-of-birds-over-the-sunset*/
    lv_obj_t * player = lv_ffmpeg_player_create(lv_scr_act());
    lv_ffmpeg_player_set_src(player, "./lvgl/examples/libs/ffmpeg/birds.mp4");
    lv_ffmpeg_player_set_auto_restart(player, true);
    lv_ffmpeg_player_set_cmd(player, LV_FFMPEG_PLAYER_CMD_START);
    lv_obj_center(player);
}

#else

void lv_example_ffmpeg_2(void)
{
    /*TODO
     *fallback for online examples*/

    lv_obj_t * label = lv_label_create(lv_scr_act());
    lv_label_set_text(label, "FFmpeg is not installed");
    lv_obj_center(label);
}
