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.

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:
