Permission denied running version command when targeting Android Q

[darrinps]

Not sure if it's because I am running Android Q beta, or I'm doing something wrong but I am getting the following:

2019-07-26 12:29:01.320 24329-24408/com.android.testffmpeg E/FFmpeg: Exception while trying to run: [/data/user/0/com.android.testffmpeg/files/ffmpeg, -version]
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/data/user/0/com.android.testffmpeg/files/ffmpeg": error=13, Permission denied
at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1050)
at nl.bravobit.ffmpeg.ShellCommand.run(ShellCommand.java:15)

All I am doing is calling this function:

`
private fun versionFFmpeg() {
FFmpeg.getInstance(TestFFmpegApplication.instance.applicationContext)
.execute(arrayOf("-version"), object : ExecuteBinaryResponseHandler() {
override fun onSuccess(message: String?) {
Timber.d(message)
}

            override fun onProgress(message: String?) {
                Timber.d(message)
            }
        })

}

`

The only setup I have in the code is this:

implementation 'nl.bravobit:android-ffmpeg:1.1.7'

Can anyone see what it is I am missing, or perhaps there is an issue running on Android Q?

Looks like it's Q. If I build and run your sample app verbatim, it works, but when I change the compile and target SDK to be 29....crash. Same as I see in my app. So I think this looks to be a fairly high bug given Q will be released shortly.

Tried this on Q emulator, system-images\android-29\google_apis\x86, and it simply worked.

I have updated the Q emulator (now it is [google/sdk_gphone_x86/generic_x86:10/QPP6.190730.005.B1/5775370:userdebug/dev-keys]), and the it does not permit to run ffmpeg from the files directories anymore. Or maybe the trigger is that I set targetSdk=29.

Actually, this is a documented change.

The fix is to move ffmpeg from assets to jniLibs.

Hi,
I didn't try it myself but probably you can fix it with adding

android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

to application in AndroidManifest.xml

[kartik1225]

No, it still does not work

Try this library
I just tested it on a physical device running Android Q (android 10)
