About

This is the C++ library which wrapper chromium media module to create media player. Now we use chromium version 62.0.3002.84.

Features

• Support playing local file
• Normal media player API (ex: play, pause, seek, set volume, set play rate)
• Not coupling with chromium multi-process architecture

How to build

1. Please reference https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_build_instructions.md#Update-your-checkout to sync chromium code base. And install necessary library for build chromium:

   $ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
   $ export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/depot_tools"
   $ mkdir ~/chromium && cd ~/chromium
   $ fetch --nohooks chromium
   $ cd src
   

2. Checkout to the tag we use and sync relative repository.

   $ cd src
   $ git checkout tags/62.0.3002.84 -b 62.0.3002.84
   $ gclient sync
   

3. Sync chromium_media_lib.

   $ cd src
   $ git clone https://github.com/shenyute/chromium_media_lib.git
   $ cd chromium_media_lib
   $ ./setup.sh
   

4. Build media example.

   $ cd src
   $ ./chromium_media_lib/setup.sh
   

5. Now you can execute basic sample as following.

   $ ./out/Default/media_example --media-file=<local media file path>
   

or

$ ./out/Default/media_example --resource-file=<HTTP URI>
