Can't fix this ffmpeg, NoClassDefFoundError org.bytedeco.ffmpeg.global.avutil

I am trying to get the video duration with this library import org.bytedeco.javacv.FFmpegFrameGrabber;

When I upload this mp4 video (https://sample-videos.com/video123/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_1mb.mp4), I get this error message: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.bytedeco.ffmpeg.global.avutil

It will break when trying to get the 'grabber':

private void videoInfo(MultipartFile file) {
    try (FFmpegFrameGrabber grabber = new FFmpegFrameGrabber(file.getInputStream())) { // on this line it will break :(
        grabber.start();
        long durationMs = grabber.getLengthInTime();
    } catch (FrameGrabber.Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
}

This is my build.gradle:

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.7.9'
    id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.15.RELEASE'

        extendsFrom annotationProcessor
    }
}

    mavenCentral()
}

    implementation 'org.bytedeco:javacv:1.5.8'
}

tasks.named('test') {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

This is my ffmpeg version:

Solution

  • You need a dependency to the jar containing org.bytedeco.ffmpeg.global.avutil

    Replace

    implementation 'org.bytedeco:javacv:1.5.8'

    With

    implementation 'org.bytedeco:javacv-platform:1.5.8'
