Development Requirements

Flyleaf's solution is developed on Visual Studio 2022 with .NET 7 and it supports / requires .NET 4.72/6/7 SDKs.

Flyleaf's main NuGet package is FlyleafLib. For WinUI you will need FlyleafLib.Controls.WinUI NuGet package. If you use WPF you might want to have look on FlyleafME, an existing media element control based on FlyleafLib which can be customized to your needs and save you from coding a control from scratch.

For .NET 5+ you will need to ensure that your projects is targeting windows desktop frameworks, e.g. :-

<TargetFramework>net7.0-windows</TargetFramework>

Video Acceleration, Decoding & Rendering is based on Direct3D 11 through Vortice bindings and even if it supports older Direct3D features, it might not properly work on old systems. For Windows 7, you might require to install the KB36805 windows update and ensure you have the latest GPU drivers as well.

Flyleaf is based on FFmpeg media framework for demuxing and decoding through FFmpeg.AutoGen v4 bindings so you will need to make sure that you properly link FFmpeg's shared libraries through the Flyleaf's Engine configuration.

Even if FlyleafLib uses FFmpeg.Autogen v5 package, it supports and you could upgrade your application to use v6 and link FFmpeg's v6 shared libraries respectively.

NOTE 1: FFmpeg libraries platform (x86/x64) must match with your applications platform
NOTE 2: Don't update FlyleafLib's FFmpeg.Autogen package to v6 directly it will not work
NOTE 3: It is highly recommended to use Flyeaf's FFmpeg shared libraries as they are (avformat-5X.dll) patched and compiled (x64) with FFmpeg-Builds docker for a critical HLS issue).


Quick Player Setup (WinUI 3)

  • Install-Package FlyleafLib.Controls.WinUI
