Android lib ijkplayer load https url

I am using ijkplayer in my android app that I compile using 

compile 'tv.danmaku.ijk.media:ijkplayer-java:0.4.5'
compile 'tv.danmaku.ijk.media:ijkplayer-armv7a:0.4.5'

It works perfectly loading http urls but if I try to load https urls I get this error 

https protocol not found, recompile FFmpeg with openssl, gnutls, or securetransport enabled.

and can't load my video. I don't know if it makes any difference but the url I am trying to load is a .m3u8 but if it is http works fine.

How can I recompile ffmpeg in this lib?

Solution

  • Hi Petro i am not proffesional but hope this tutorial would help.

    You have to compile ijkplayer with openssl support to open https links, to do that follow this steps:

    Grab latest version of IjkPlayer from github:

    $ git clone https://github.com/Bilibili/ijkplayer.git

    Open just downloaded folder ijkplayer Remove symlinks to module.sh and create symlink to module-lite.sh

    $ cd config
$ rm module.sh
$ ln -s module-lite.sh module.sh

    Do initialisation of OpenSSL (getting ready to download and compile openssl first)

    $ cd ..
$ ./init-android-openssl.sh

    Make sure you have pointed for your SDK and NDK path.

    (NDK r10e preffered - I am not sure if SDK is needed but just in case i did exported it)

    NOTE: make sure you have changed your path properly that is only example of path what i have used.

    export ANDROID_SDK="/home/ZiomusGorliczanin/SDK"
export ANDROID_NDK="/home/ZiomusGorliczanin/NDK"

    Open IjkPlayer/android/contrib folder and fire up compile-openssl.sh clean and all command (that will compile openssl for all processors).

    $ cd android/contrib
$ ./compile-openssl.sh clean
$ ./compile-openssl.sh all

    Compilation might take a while 10 min.

    Compile FFMpeg with OPENSSL for all processors:

    $ cd android/contrib
$ ./compile-ffmpeg.sh clean
$ ./compile-ffmpeg.sh all

    Finally compile IjkPlayer with all above as a liblary.

    $ cd ..
$ ./compile-ijk.sh all

    After all this steps you should have liblaries in those folders (Three *.so files):

    ijkplayer/ijkplayer-armv5/src/main/libs
ijkplayer/ijkplayer-armv7a/src/main/libs
ijkplayer/ijkplayer-arm64/src/main/libs
ijkplayer/ijkplayer-x86/src/main/libs

    Try to import gradle project to your Android Studio and Run Ijk-Example for testing.
