Unsupported video format or codec not found for AV1 videos

[mlipkovich]

Hello,

I'm trying to use FFmpegFrameGrabber with AV1 videos:

import org.bytedeco.javacv.FFmpegFrameGrabber
import org.bytedeco.javacv.FFmpegLogCallback

FFmpegLogCallback.set()

val url = "https://www.elecard.com/storage/video/Stream1_AV1_720p_1.5mbps.webm"
val frameGrabber = new FFmpegFrameGrabber(url)
frameGrabber.start()

but it fails with the following error:

Info: Input #0, matroska,webm, from 'https://www.elecard.com/storage/video/Stream1_AV1_720p_1.5mbps.webm':

org.bytedeco.javacv.FFmpegFrameGrabber$Exception: avcodec_find_decoder() error: Unsupported video format or codec not found: 32797. (For more details, make sure FFmpegLogCallback.set() has been called.)

This number 32797 corresponds to decoder AV_CODEC_ID_AV1. If i set it explicitly it also doesn't work

import org.bytedeco.ffmpeg.global.avcodec
avcodec.avcodec_find_decoder_by_name("AV_CODEC_ID_AV1")

returns null.
 

I'm using the following dependencies:

  "org.bytedeco" % "javacv" % "1.5.5",
  "org.bytedeco" % "ffmpeg-platform" % "4.3.2-1.5.5"

also tried to switch to

"org.bytedeco" % "javacv-platform" % "1.5.5"

with no success.
 

Am I missing some native libraries?
 

It works fine when I use the same URL with command line ffmpeg (version 4.1), OS Debian 10

I suppose we would need to enable support for that codec. Contributions are welcome!

Thank you for your response! Are there Pull Requests with similar changes so that I could see how it should be done? Or maybe some docs?

Sure, something like this: bytedeco/javacpp-presets#1036
