Initialization and Termination

You must initialize the AVBlocks API when your application starts and terminate it before your application ends. The AVBlocks license can be set right after the initialization. If you do not set a license, AVBlocks will work in demo mode.

Mac

Library::initialize();

// Set license information. To run AVBlocks in demo mode, comment the next line out
Library::setLicense("license-xml-string");

Library::shutdown();

Linux

Library::initialize();

// Set license information. To run AVBlocks in demo mode, comment the next line out
Library::setLicense("license-xml-string");

Library::shutdown();

Windows

You have to call CoInitializeEx / CoUninitialize to enable Windows Media codecs:

// needed for Windows Media codecs
CoInitializeEx(nullptr, COINITBASE_MULTITHREADED);

Library::initialize();

// Set license information. To run AVBlocks in demo mode, comment the next line out
Library::setLicense("license-xml-string");

Library::shutdown();

CoUninitialize();
