Multiple Ffmpeg .so file

[PrinceVergil]

Description I am using exoplayer-extension-ffmpeg And when i try to add mobile-ffmpeg More than one file was found with OS independent path to resolve this i have added.

packagingOptions {
        pickFirst '**/*.so'
   }

now code get compiled and runs but when it comes to execute int rc = FFmpeg.execute(cmd); it throws this error

   Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "av_rdft_init" referenced by "/data/app/com.example.client2-7zGqB9WZi2kzEY7AcZLOWg==/base.apk!/lib/arm64-v8a/libavfilter.so"...

is there any way to resolve this?

you need to write individual pickFirst lines or get the build straightened out to where you don't have duplicate so files.

packagingOptions {
     pickFirst 'lib/armeabi/libavdevice.so' 
     pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libavdevice.so' 
     pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libavdevice.so' 
     pickFirst 'lib/x86/libavdevice.so' 
     pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libavdevice.so'
     //etc ....

you might be able to try

  packagingOptions {
       pickFirst '**/libavdevice.so' 
       pickFirst '**/libavformat.so' 
       pickFirst '**/libavcodec.so' 
       //etc ....

@markkimsal still issue of dlopen is there i temporary fixed it with ndk { abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86","x86_64" }

The rules of Google Play Store require that your APK includes arm64-v8a binaries, but if you don't intend to publish your app, it's fine to keep armeabi-v7a libraries only. Consider using NEON for better performance.

The name clash between mobile-ffmpeg and exoplayer is not an innocent one, and -neon libraries resolve this problem at the expense of actually having almost duplicate binaries in your APK.

The best strategy if you must include both libraries, would be to use the mobile-ffmpeg shared objects for your expolayer. Make sure that you enable the relevant decoders when you run android.sh. After this is ready, you can simply copy the *.so files from prebuilt/ffmpeg to $FFMPEG_EXT_PATH/ffmpeg/android-libs instead of running build_ffmpeg.sh. Now, packagingOptions { pickFirst '**/*.so' } will be safe.
