}
```
6. Stop ongoing FFmpeg operations.
- Stop all executions
```
FFmpeg.cancel();
```
- Stop a specific execution
```
FFmpeg.cancel(executionId);
```

#### 2.4 Manual Installation
##### 2.4.1 Android
You can import `FFmpegKit` aar packages in `Android Studio` using the `File` -> `New` -> `New Module` -> `Import .JAR/.AAR Package` menu.
##### 2.4.2 iOS / tvOS
iOS and tvOS frameworks can be installed manually using the [Importing Frameworks ](https://github.com/tanersener/ffmpeg-kit/wiki/Importing-Frameworks ) guide.
If you want to use universal binaries please refer to [Using Universal Binaries ](https://github.com/tanersener/ffmpeg-kit/wiki/Using-Universal-Binaries ) guide.
#### 2.5 Test Application
You can see how FFmpegKit is used inside an application by running test applications provided.
There is an `Android` test application under the `android/test-app` folder, an `iOS` test application under the
`ios/test-app` folder and a `tvOS` test application under the `tvos/test-app` folder.
All applications are identical and supports command execution, video encoding, accessing https, encoding audio,
burning subtitles, video stabilisation, pipe operations and concurrent command execution.

A more detailed documentation is available at [Wiki ](https://github.com/tanersener/ffmpeg-kit/wiki ).
### 8. License
`FFmpegKit` is licensed under the LGPL v3.0. However, if source code is built using the optional `--enable-gpl` flag
or prebuilt binaries with `-gpl` postfix are used, then FFmpegKit is subject to the GPL v3.0 license.
The source code of all external libraries included is in compliance with their individual licenses.
`openh264` source code included in this repository is licensed under the 2-clause BSD License but this license does
not cover the `MPEG LA` licensing fees. If you build `ffmpeg-kit` with `openh264` and distribute that library, then
you are subject to pay `MPEG LA` licensing fees. Refer to [OpenH264 FAQ ](https://www.openh264.org/faq.html ) page for
the details. Please note that `ffmpeg-kit` does not publish a binary with `openh264` inside.
`strip-frameworks.sh` script included and distributed (until v4.x) is published under the
[Apache License version 2.0 ](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 ).
In test applications; embedded fonts are licensed under the

### 9. Patents
It is not clearly explained in their documentation but it is believed that `FFmpeg` , `kvazaar` , `x264` and `x265`
include algorithms which are subject to software patents. If you live in a country where software algorithms are
patentable then you'll probably need to pay royalty fees to patent holders. We are not lawyers though, so we recommend
that you seek legal advice first. See [FFmpeg Patent Mini-FAQ ](https://ffmpeg.org/legal.html ).
`openh264` clearly states that it uses patented algorithms. Therefore, if you build ffmpeg-kit with openh264 and
distribute that library, then you are subject to pay MPEG LA licensing fees. Refer to
[OpenH264 FAQ ](https://www.openh264.org/faq.html ) page for the details.
