Welcome to FFmpegInteropX

I did next to nothing to get this working with UWP and VS2019. My changes took all of 5 minutes to do. All credit goes to the authors of this library and vcpkg.

FFmpegInteropX is an open-source project that aims to provide an easy way to use FFmpeg in Windows 10 UWP Apps. This allows you to decode a lot of formats that are not natively supported on Windows 10.

FFmpegInteropX is a much improved fork of the original Microsoft project.

Some of the important improvements:

  • Multiple audio stream support
  • Subtitle support, including external subtitle files
  • Audio effects (special thanks to mcosmin222!)
  • Stream information retrieval (name, language, format, etc)
  • Passthrough of the following video formats for hardware decoding
    • HEVC
    • VC1 (Used in VC1 Advanced Profile)
    • WMV3 (Used in WMV9 and VC1 Simple and Main Profile)
    • MPEG2 (Requires "MPEG-2 Video Extensions" from Windows Store)
    • VP9 (Requires "VP9 Video Extensions" from Windows Store)
  • Major performance improvements (zero-copy data handling in all important areas)
  • Frame grabber support
  • Chapter information support
  • API improvements
  • Include zlib and bzlib libraries into ffmpeg for full MKV subtitle support
  • Include iconv for character encoding conversion
  • Lots of bug fixes

Other changes:

  • Support for Windows 8.x and Windows Phone 8.x has been dropped
  • Visual Studio 2015 support has been dropped

Prerequisites:

Visual Studio 2019 is required.

  • Visual Studio 2019 (16.3.x or higher):

    • Select Universal Windows Platform development workload in Installer
    • Select additional components from Installer:
      • Universal Windows Platform tools
      • VC++ 2019 latest version v142 tools
      • Win 10 SDK (10.0.18362.0) for uwp: c#, vb, js
      • Win 10 SDK (10.0.18362.0) for uwp: c++
      • Visual C++ compilers and libraries for ARM64 (optional)
      • Visual C++ compilers and libraries for ARM (optional)
      • C++ UWP tools for ARM64 (optional)
      • C++ runtime for uwp

  • Visual Studio 2019:

Building FFmpeg

  • Install vcpkg
  • .\vcpkg install ffmpeg:x64-uwp --recurse
  • Build solutions
  • Yes, it's that easy!

Note: The only sigificant change to the original repo project was to retarget the C++ solutions, and change the C++ part as follows:

Additional Include Directories to: $(ProjectDir);$(GeneratedFilesDir);$(IntDir);%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories) Additoinal #using Directories to: $(WindowsSDK_WindowsMetadata);$(AdditionalUsingDirectories)
