CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE - ffmpeg - Android

Question

I am getting the following error when I try to use ffmpeg on Android.

Platorms

I am running OSX (not sure if this is important)

I have tried running the app on the following emulators all to no avail:

• Nexus 5X - API 25 - x86
• Nexus 5X - API 23 - x86
• Pixel 5X - API 26

What I have tried

• Restarting my computer and android studios and running Invalidate Caches / Restart...

• Using all of the following sources for ffmpeg (individually and together):

  • compile 'com.writingminds:FFmpegAndroid:0.3.2'
  • AAR file from here
  • .jar file from here
• Enabling and disabling NDK
• Changing the SDK versions

Sources

In case you would like to take a look at the sources, the ones I am using are available here. Please note I did not make these all credit goes to @Onregs.
