# Limitations & Tips

MPV Android libvvdec app requires your system type of ARM64 (aarch64), x86 (i686), ARMv7 (armeabi-v7a) and x86_64 to run on Android or Windows requires to run x64.

Windows/Android MPV Player doesn't work seek duration of VVC decoded file only, but only mp4 video container mixed with VVC video codec is only seek supported, including audio & subtitle too.

Some Android users for 10-bit pixel format or/and tier high might not show video in mp4 container with VVC video codec only. 

Solution: Please download latest mp4box nightly version and re-mux from .266 to .mp4 file again.

### Tips

Make sure to allow apps from unknown sources. Link: [Wikihow](https://www.wikihow.com/Allow-Apps-from-Unknown-Sources-on-Android)

If Google warns you that Android MPV (libvvdec plugin) app is malicious by Play Protect, press "Install anyway" on your phone.

On Windows, there is available MPV.NET custom build on this download. Source code: https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net

# Build MPV Android with VVC and xHE-AAC:

If you want to build MPV Android, you need to update & upgrade first, then install packages:
```
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install build-essential cmake nasm libsimde-dev python3 git
```

Next download Temurin from Adoptium and follow the install instructions:

https://adoptium.net/installation/linux

After you installed Temurin from Adoptium, you can verify that is installed on your system:
```
java --version
```

After installing the packages on Linux, clone mpv-android-vvc repository:
```
cd
git clone https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/mpv-android-vvc
cd mpv-android-vvc/buildscripts
```

Give shell scripts permission in buildscripts folder:
```
chmod +x scripts/*.sh
```

Before you build, you need to search `#ifdef __ANDROID__` and delete the lines by end `#endif`:

```
nano deps/fdkaac/libSBRdec/src/lpp_tran.cpp
```

Save the file in nano editor, when you finished removing `#ifdef __ANDROID` lines.

**TIP: You can edit script of vvdec.sh on your own choice.**

Continue follow instructions to build your own MPV build:
