hplayer is a lightweight multimedia player designed to demonstrate how to build a custom playback engine using FFmpeg and native rendering techniques. It focuses on providing a minimal yet functional implementation of video playback, including decoding, rendering, and synchronization. The project is structured as a learning resource, helping developers understand the fundamentals of multimedia pipelines. It supports common audio and video formats and includes playback controls for managing media streams. The architecture emphasizes performance and simplicity, using native libraries to achieve efficient playback. It also demonstrates integration between UI layers and low-level media processing components. Overall, it serves as a practical reference for building custom media players.
