What it is

JiaoZiVideoPlayer is an Android library for adding video playback to apps. The README describes it as a highly customizable video framework and points to a successor project at Jzvd/JiaoZiVideoPlayer. The repository is archived and its last push was in September 2020, so it is no longer maintained here.

  • Embed a customizable video player view in an Android app
  • Read the source to see how a player wrapper can switch between ExoPlayer, ijkplayer and FFmpeg backends
  • Use the published .aar file in an Android project build

Great for

  • Android developers who already use this library in an existing app
  • Developers who want to study an older Android video player codebase
  • Teams comparing video player libraries for historical or reference purposes

Not ideal for

  • New projects, because the repository is archived and the README points to a different project
  • Non-developers, because it is a code library rather than an app you run
  • Anyone needing ongoing bug fixes or security updates, since the repo is no longer maintained

Strengths

  • MIT license permits reuse and modification
  • Description names well-known playback engines (ExoPlayer, ijkplayer, FFmpeg)
  • Published release artifacts include an .aar and sources jar

Trade-offs

  • Archived, so no new fixes are expected
  • The README is very short and gives no setup or usage details
  • Last push was in 2020, so it may not work with current Android versions
