I know TuneIn Radio uses FFmpeg as well, but they do not provide source code to download. I want to do the same as TuneIn Radio does. What do I have to do? I don't plan to modify FFmpeg, just use it. What I can do is provide the FFmpeg source code I use, but I cannot provide object files of my compiled app, so no re-linking of my app. It's a copyright app in those App stores that's should not be copied. > > > One important thing to consider is that these > > pieces of software are not open source and > > are intended completely for commercial > > purposes; so source code availability is out > > of the table.
