# FFmpeg-Kit-Extended Upgraded to FFmpeg 9.0.1: New FFmpeg, FFprobe & FFplay Features for Flutter and React Native

## Summary

FFmpegKit Extended, a wrapper exposing FFmpeg, FFprobe, and FFplay to Flutter and React Native apps, has upgraded from FFmpeg 8.1.2 to FFmpeg 9.0.1 'Lei', released August 12, 2026. The upgrade bumps major library ABI versions (libavcodec 63, libavformat 63, etc.) and unlocks new FFmpeg 9 capabilities directly through existing command syntax, including an animated WebP decoder/demuxer, transpose_cuda for CUDA GPU rotation, v360_vulkan for Vulkan-accelerated 360° video, AMD AMF frame rate conversion (frc_amf), an ONNX Runtime DNN backend for AI-powered processing, a Dolby Vision Profile 7 splitter, HE-AAC 960/DAB+ decoding, ProRes RAW VideoToolbox acceleration, APV Vulkan acceleration, SMPTE ST 2094-50 HDR metadata support, and a Playdate video encoder/muxer. FFmpeg 9.0.1 also ships numerous stability, security, and correctness fixes across WebP, MPEG-TS, MOV, DASH, HLS, RTSP, TLS/OpenSSL, and hardware decoders. One notable behavioral change: FFmpeg 9 enables TLS peer-certificate verification by default, so apps using HTTPS/HLS/remote media URLs should test certificate handling during migration. Feature availability remains build-dependent across FFmpegKit Extended's Base, Audio, Video, Video+Hardware, and Full configurations.

> Teams should test private CAs, redirected HLS playlists, and expired certificates before the FFmpeg bump reaches mobile users. TLS peer verification becoming default can't stay a footnote
