NDK >= 23: there is an abi break in 23. we use the latest ndk.

Optional:

iOS >= 8.0, arm64

Optional:

  • libass.9.dylib to support text subtitles

Windows Desktop

sdk package: windows-desktop-vs2022.7z

Vista~Win10.

  • vcrt 14.0+
  • ucrt
  • [x64] vcruntime140_1.dll. If not exists, download and install They can also be installed via install.bat in mdk-sdk
  • xaudio2 driver (windows <= 7 only) if no sound and wrong playback speed

Optional:

  • ANGLE libEGL.dll, libGLESv2.dll to enable OpenGLES2/3
  • cuda
  • vulkan
  • libass.dll to support text subtitles. Already bundled in sdk package

UWP

sdk package: uwp-vs2022.7z

Optional:

  • ANGLE libEGL.dll, libGLESv2.dll to enable OpenGLES2/3

  • libass.9.dylib or libass.dylib: to support text subtitles. already bundled in sdk package.

Linux Desktop, Raspberry Pi OS

sdk package: mdk-sdk-linux.tar.xz

ubuntu>=14.04(or glibc >= 2.14). may run on ubuntu12.04(glibc 2.15)

  • libc++1, libc++abi1: not using gnu stl because libc++ has better compatibility, tested with libc++ 3~9. previous sdks depend on glibc++ 3.4.22(g++6)
  • libva version 2: libva2, libva-x11-2, libva-drm2. Running apt install vainfo will install these
  • libasound2: audio
  • libdrm2
  • libgbm1: gbm surface for egl context
  • libwayland-client0
  • libgl1-mesa-glx
  • libegl1-mesa: egl context
  • libxcb-dri3, libx11-xcb1
  • ffmpeg>=4.0: system ffmpeg(recommended for raspberry pi) or the one in sdk. you may need to build yourself to run on old OSes because of F* linux dso and symbol versioning**

Optional:

  • libmfx1, libvpl2: QSV decoder
  • libvdpau1: vdpau rendering. (and required by ffmpeg decoder)
  • libwayland-egl1: wayland surface and egl context support
  • libopenal1
  • libpulse0
  • cuda
  • libass9: to support text subtitles. compatible with libass5 and above

all devices (or glibc >= 2.4)

  • libc++: included in sdk
  • libasound2: audio
  • libdrm2
  • libgbm1: gbm surface for egl context (VC4)
  • libwayland-client0
  • ffmpeg>=4.0: you may need to build yourself to run on old OSes because of F*** linux dso and symbol versioning
