Specific libVLC compilation

[TomasValenta]

Hello,

it's possible to compile only part of libVLC, eg. only "some specific codecs"? Because I need only support RTSP, HLS and MPEG-2 TS. It's this possible?

Thank you

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

To some extent, but it is irrelevant. You are better off only taking the plugins that you actually need, after compilation.

[TomasValenta]

Ok,

please tell me how? The compiled archive has these libraries inside:


and only libvlcjni.so has 18,2MB size. So how you mean "only taking the plugins that you actually need"?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Those are not the files that you get out of a LibVLC build.

[TomasValenta]

I use this "How-to" to compile libVLC and the output is libvlc-3.0.0.aar archive (../android/libvlc/build/outputs/aar). The image above are the libraries inside the archive. I have included this library/archive in my project and it's working fine, but is little bit big for my purpose, because I need support only for some specific codecs. So what files you mean?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

You are building the JNI wrapper for LibVLC on Android, not LibVLC.

[TomasValenta]

Ok,
sorry for that, my mistake So, is there a way to customize this build?

[TomasValenta]

No idea how to customize the JNI wrapper for LibVLC?

Yes, but it's a bit complex.
