How to Build FFMPEG library into iOS Build

[Dean Wedel]

I am successfully build Chromium for iOS and getting it into TestFlight. I build with the command-line autoninja on a MacBook-Pro and it works good on a device.

My question is: how do I also build and include the FFMPEG video codecs into the iOS Chromium project?

I have also worked on the Android Chromium build (on Linux) and to get FFMPEG support included I just changed the args.gn file and added these parameters:

proprietary_codecs = true

ffmpeg_branding = "Chrome"

media_use_ffmpeg = true

But that doesn't seem to work on the iOS build. What do I need to do?

It is not possible. Chrome on iOS does not support ffmpeg.

Hi guys, after applying a patch to build scripts, I managed to build ffmpeg on iOS, inside WebRTC project. The build logic (and related patch file) is here: https://github.com/HackWebRTC/webrtc/blob/hack_webrtc_32599/sdk/build_ios_framework.sh
