Xuggler has been discontinued and the maven repository no longer exists. Is there a good alternative out there for video encoding/decoding? Or will Xuggler suffice even though it has stopped being maintained?

In terms of Java based API, I have been doing some search for my video encoding/decoding, i only ended up to find xuggler was the still best choice regardless of its development stopped, popular open source library like RED5 still uses xuggler underneath, for encoding/decoding. Author of xuggler has started a new github library called humble-video I am not quite sure how far extend this has gone. Probably you maycan check that too.

Possible other option you may consider is vlcj, it is just a java wrapper over vlc, which can be used for transcoding

    I'll take a look into vlcj and keep up to date with humble. Going to go ahead and use Xuggler for now as I'm having trouble finding a good alternative. Thanks. – Jake Miller Oct 02 '16 at 14:23
  • I have tested with vlcj and it has issues for long time running videos. Also, you can check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3768397/how-to-control-vlc-by-java for others having the same observations. – Victor Mar 06 '19 at 12:10
