## README

# Important
**The FFmpeg API is vast and complex and this project exposes it with minimum modifications - support is very limited.
Please consider to ask *how to* questions on [stackoverflow.com](https://stackoverflow.com/search?tab=newest&q=ffmpeg%20autogen). 
The community may be able to offer some assistance but you will largely be on your own.
As another option you can search for a solution in C(lang) as with some effort you can convert it to C#.**

FFmpeg auto generated unsafe bindings for C#/.NET and Mono.

## Usage

The basic example of the library usage: video decoding, conversion and frame extraction to jpeg is included in ```FFmpeg.AutoGen.Example``` project.  
For the more sophisticated operations please refer to offical [ffmpeg Documentation](https://www.ffmpeg.org/documentation.html) expecially API section of it.

- on Windows:  
Native ffmpeg binaries are pre bundled in the repository. 
The x64 binaries source from [Zeranoe FFmpeg](http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/).
Please check to example project it shows how specify path to libraries.  
In case you need x86 binaries, feel free to use same source.

- on OS X:  
Install ffmpeg via [MacPorts](http://www.macports.org):
```bash
sudo port install ffmpeg +universal
```
Please make sure that ```FFmpeg.AutoGen.dll``` coupled with ```FFmpeg.AutoGen.config``` and all paths are correct. 
By default MacPorts keeps compiled libraries in ```/opt/local/lib```.

- on Linux:  
You need to patch ```FFmpeg.AutoGen.config``` with full path to FFmpeg libraries.

## Generation

The bindings generator uses [CppSharp](https://github.com/mono/CppSharp).

Prerequisites:
 - Visual Studio 2017 with C# and C++ desktop development workloads and Windows SDK for desktop.

Steps to generate:
- Run ```FFmpeg.AutoGen.CppSharpUnsafeGenerator;```
- All files with extension ```*.g.cs```  in ```FFmpeg.AutoGen``` project will be regenerated.
