Error on building FFPYPLAYER for VideoPlayer Widget

[mfaessel]

Hi,

Need help…
I’m trying to build an Android APK with Kivy VideoPlayer and Video Widgets
But get a ffplayer error

Here is my buildozer.spec file
https://pastebin.com/xeEJX9PB

I have tried on OSX Sierra and it's the same error appears on the Buildozer VM build.

Some comments :

• the videos work fine in Kivy Launcher
• if i build without ffmepg or ffpyplayer the app is build but VideoPlayer don't work
• I even try with different Cython version downgrade but no luck

Any idea?

When tweaking the FFMPEG recipe by removing those flags

                '--disable-dxva2 --disable-vdpau --disable-vaapi',
                '--disable-dct',

Not sure why it happens yet, but it looks like due to old android NDK version. Can you try to use newer version, for example, r15c and see if error still exists?

You'll need to download NDK from here, change your buildozer.spec file this way:

android.ndk = 15b
android.ndk_path = /home/p4a/android-ndk-r15b  # path to your ndk here
