mpv-android-lib 2026-06-25

What's Changed

This release focuses on build infrastructure improvements, thumbnail performance optimizations, and architecture configuration flexibility.

✨ New Features

• x86/x86_64 toggle: Both x86 architectures are now configurable via Build_config.sh — disabled by default to reduce build time. Set ENABLE_X86_ARCH=true to include them.

⚡ Performance

• Thumbnail engine overhaul: Removed the global decode lock, introduced bounded async batch processing, and now scale frames directly into Android bitmap pixels with hardware-decode fallback.
• Native dependency refresh: Updated library versions for improved stability.

🔧 Build & CI

• Meson upgrade fix: Ubuntu 24.04 ships Meson 1.3.2, but fontconfig >= 2.18.1 requires >= 1.11.0 — now installed via pip instead of apt.
• mpv version string fix: Switched CI mpv download from tarball to git clone --depth 1 so meson vcs_tag() resolves the actual upstream commit SHA.
• Write-versions rewrite: write_versions.sh now gets mpv version directly from source tree via git describe, with fallback to VERSION file.
• Rolled back YTDL/Python/Curl support: Kept build/release YAML and README updates.
