❗ Dependency Resolution Issue: mobile-ffmpeg-min:4.4.LTS Not Found

[SandipFinaviya01]

Hi Team,

I'm currently facing an issue while building my Android project. I did not explicitly include com.arthenica:mobile-ffmpeg-min:4.4.LTS in my dependencies, yet the build fails with the following error:

Caused by: org.gradle.internal.resolve.ModuleVersionNotFoundException:
Could not find com.arthenica:mobile-ffmpeg-min:4.4.LTS

🛠️ Project Context

• I'm using com.github.a914-gowtham:android-video-trimmer:1.7.14 for video trimming.
• I'm also using io.deepmedia.community:transcoder-android:0.11.2 for background video export.
• My project repositories include google(), mavenCentral(), and jitpack.io.

🔍 What I've Tried

• Confirmed that I did not include mobile-ffmpeg anywhere directly.
• Checked that the version 4.4.LTS does not exist on Maven Central or JitPack.
• Cleaned Gradle cache and invalidated caches in Android Studio.
• Tried manually replacing with com.arthenica:mobile-ffmpeg-min:4.4, but that didn't resolve the root cause.

❓ Questions

1. Has the mobile-ffmpeg-min:4.4.LTS artifact been deprecated or removed recently?
2. Is there a new artifact or alternative I should use in place of this?
3. Could this be an internal dependency from either android-video-trimmer or another transitive library?
4. What's the recommended modern alternative if FFmpeg-kit is no longer actively supported?

Any guidance or recommended replacement would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I just forked and added the ffmpeg seperately for jitpack. You can check it out:

implementation 'com.github.Hassaan-Javed.gowtham-video-trimmer-fork:ffmpeg-kit-android-lib:v1.1.0'

I just migrated to LiTr and also did some sdk level update in the fork. Thanks for the work btw @a914-gowtham . It's a very helpful library,
