ijkplayer is a video player library for Android and iOS built on FFmpeg (ffplay), offering a MediaPlayer-like API with hardware decoding via MediaCodec and VideoToolbox. It supports multiple CPU architectures and optional alternative backends like ExoPlayer and AVPlayer.

Use cases

  • play video in an android app with hardware decoding
  • embed a customizable video player in an ios app
  • play hls and other streaming formats on mobile
  • replace exoplayer with an ffmpeg-based player
  • build a bilibili-style video playback experience
  • decode video with mediacodec or videotoolbox

When to choose

  • you need fine-grained control over playback and ffmpeg codec support on android or ios
  • you need hardware-accelerated decoding across many mobile cpu architectures
  • default platform players (MediaPlayer, AVPlayer) lack format support you need

When to avoid

  • you only need simple playback and prefer a maintained high-level player like ExoPlayer or AVPlayer
  • you need subtitles rendering or avfilter support, which are not on the plan
  • you target very old platforms (Android API 8-, iOS pre-6.0)
