Acinerella is a simple wrapper for the playback facilities of the FFmpeg libraries. It features a relatively simple and stable C API with about ten functions. Correspondingly, it should only take a few minutes to translate acinerella.h to other programming languages. Hence, Acinerella should be easy to integrate with other programming languages than C, facilitating media decoding in your own application.

Acinerella allows you to load your media streams directly from memory without the need of registering an ominous protocol format.

Simple API

Acinerella does all the "FFmpeg stuff" for you. Decoding videos was never easier.

Single compact library

FFmpeg can be staticaly linked into Acinerella

Can be easily used from other programming languages

The Acinerella C API is about 120 lines long and is easy to port to other programming languages. A Pascal header exists.

Make sure you have a recent version of FFmpeg and CMake installed. Under Linux, building Acinerella is as simple as runing the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/astoeckel/acinerella
cd acinerella && mkdir build && cd build;
cmake .. && make

Unsupported old binary versions of Acinerella may be found at
