# 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 muxed 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 remux from .266 to .mp4 file again.

# 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 choise.**
