Note: Download packages include only a minimal set of video and audio codecs. To support additional codecs, point DJV at an external FFmpeg command (see documentation) or build from source.

Building

A CMake "super build" is provided to build DJV and the main dependencies. The super build can be invoked with cripts as described below.

The scripts contain a number of options that can be edited to configure the build, for example:

• Increase the number of jobs used for the build:
  • JOBS=16
• Enable full codec support:
  • TLRENDER_FFMPEG_MINIMAL=OFF
  • TLRENDER_FFMPEG_PLUGIN=ON
  • TLRENDER_FFMPEG_CMD=OFF
• Enable USD (Universal Scene Description) support:
  • TLRENDER_USD=ON
