Open-source licenses

Last updated: 12 September 2026

Fjord Player uses mpv and FFmpeg through MPVKit, together with their supporting libraries. The playback stack is built in its LGPL configuration. Each component remains copyright its authors and is provided under its own license.

Source code and relinking

The Apple-platform playback libraries are statically linked. For each Fjord Player release, the matching download contains the playback-stack source, Fjord's complete patches, the application's linkable object files, the exact static library inputs and a tested relink script. The script emits an unsigned Apple TV executable and includes an automated proof that a modified library is selected.
