# Release notes ### Unreleased changes * Common Library: * ExoPlayer: * Add `ExoPlayer.setScrubbingModeEnabled(boolean)` method. This optimizes the player for many frequent seeks (for example, from a user dragging a scrubber bar around). The behavior of scrubbing mode can be customized with `setScrubbingModeParameters(..)` on `ExoPlayer` and `ExoPlayer.Builder`. * Transformer: * Filling an initial gap (added via `addGap()`) with silent audio now requires explicitly setting `experimentalSetForceAudioTrack(true)` in `EditedMediaItemSequence.Builder`. If the gap is in the middle of the sequence, then this flag is not required. * Track Selection: * Extractors: * MP3: Use duration and data size from unseekable Xing, VBRI and similar variable bitrate metadata when falling back to constant bitrate seeking due to `FLAG_ENABLE_CONSTANT_BITRATE_SEEKING(_ALWAYS)` ([#2194](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2194)). * DataSource: * Audio: * Allow constant power upmixing/downmixing in DefaultAudioMixer. * Video: * Add experimental `ExoPlayer` API to include the `MediaCodec.BUFFER_FLAG_DECODE_ONLY` flag when queuing decode-only input buffers. This flag will signal the decoder to skip the decode-only buffers thereby resulting in faster seeking. Enable it with `DefaultRenderersFactory.experimentalSetEnableMediaCodecBufferDecodeOnlyFlag`. * Improve codec performance checks for software video codecs. This may lead to some additional tracks being marked as `EXCEEDS_CAPABILITIES`. * Text: * Metadata: * Image: * DataSource: * DRM: * Effect: * Add `Presentation.createForShortSide(int)` that creates a `Presentation` that ensures the shortest side always matches the given value, regardless of input orientation. * Muxers: * `writeSampleData()` API now uses muxer specific `BufferInfo` class instead of `MediaCodec.BufferInfo`. * IMA extension: * Session: * UI: * Downloads: * Add partial download support for progressive streams. Apps can prepare a progressive stream with `DownloadHelper`, and request a `DownloadRequest` from the helper with specifying the time-based media start and end positions that the download should cover. The returned `DownloadRequest` carries the resolved byte range, with which a `ProgressiveDownloader` can be created and download the content correspondingly. * Add `DownloadHelper.Factory` with which the static `DownloadHelper.forMediaItem()` methods are replaced. * Add `Factory` for `SegmentDownloader` implementations. * OkHttp extension: * Cronet extension: * RTMP extension: * HLS extension: * DASH extension: * Smooth Streaming extension: * RTSP extension: * Decoder extensions (FFmpeg, VP9, AV1, etc.): * MIDI extension: * Leanback extension: * Cast extension: * Test Utilities: * Removed `transformer.TestUtil.addAudioDecoders(String...)`, `transformer.TestUtil.addAudioEncoders(String...)`, and `transformer.TestUtil.addAudioEncoders(ShadowMediaCodec.CodecConfig, String...)`. Use `ShadowMediaCodecConfig` to configure shadow encoders and decoders instead. * Demo app: * Add `PlaybackSpeedPopUpButton` Composable UI element to be part of `ExtraControls` in `demo-compose`. * Remove deprecated symbols: * Removed deprecated `SegmentDownloader` constructor `SegmentDownloader(MediaItem, Parser, CacheDataSource.Factory, Executor)` and the corresponding constructors in its subclasses `DashDownloader`, `HlsDownloader` and `SsDownloader`. * Removed deprecated `Player.hasNext()`, `Player.hasNextWindow()`. Use `Player.hasNextMediaItem()` instead. * Removed deprecated `Player.next()`. Use `Player.seekToNextMediaItem()` instead. * Removed deprecated `Player.seekToPreviousWindow()`. Use `Player.seekToPreviousMediaItem()` instead. * Removed deprecated `Player.seekToNextWindow()`. Use `Player.seekToNextMediaItem()` instead. * Removed deprecated `BaseAudioProcessor` in `exoplayer` module. Use `BaseAudioProcessor` under `common` module. ## 1.6 ### 1.6.1 (2025-04-14) This release includes the following changes since the [1.6.0 release](#160-2025-03-26): * Common Library: * Add `PlaybackParameters.withPitch(float)` method for easily copying a `PlaybackParameters` with a new `pitch` value ([#2257](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2257)). * ExoPlayer: * Fix issue where media item transition fails due to recoverable renderer error during initialization of the next media item ([#2229](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2229)). * Fix issue where `ProgressiveMediaPeriod` throws an `IllegalStateException` as `PreloadMediaSource` attempts to call its `getBufferedDurationUs()` before it is prepared ([#2315](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2315)). * Fix sending `CmcdData` in manifest requests for DASH, HLS, and SmoothStreaming ([#2253](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/2253)). * Ensure `AdPlaybackState.withAdDurationsUs(long[][])` can be used after ad groups have been removed. The user still needs to pass in an array of durations for removed ad groups which can be empty or null ([#2267](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2267)). * Extractors: * MP4: Parse `alternate_group` from the `tkhd` box and expose it as an `Mp4AlternateGroupData` entry in each track's `Format.metadata` ([#2242](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2242)). * Audio: * Fix offload issue where the position might get stuck when playing a playlist of short content ([#1920](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1920)). * Session: * Lower aggregation timeout for platform `MediaSession` callbacks from 500 to 100 milliseconds and add an experimental setter to allow apps to configure this value. * Fix issue where notifications reappear after they have been dismissed by the user ([#2302](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2302)). * Fix a bug where the session returned a single-item timeline when the wrapped player is actually empty. This happened when the wrapped player doesn't have `COMMAND_GET_TIMELINE` available while `COMMAND_GET_CURRENT_MEDIA_ITEM` is available and the wrapped player is empty ([#2320](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2320)). * Fix a bug where calling `MediaSessionService.setMediaNotificationProvider` is silently ignored after other interactions with the service like `setForegroundServiceTimeoutMs` ([#2305](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2305)). * UI: * Enable `PlayerSurface` to work with `ExoPlayer.setVideoEffects` and `CompositionPlayer`. * Fix bug where `PlayerSurface` can't be recomposed with a new `Player`. * HLS extension: * Fix issue where chunk duration wasn't set in `CmcdData` for HLS media, causing an assertion failure when processing encrypted media segments ([#2312](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2312)). * RTSP extension: * Add support for URI with RTSPT scheme as a way to configure the RTSP session to use TCP ([#1484](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1484)). * Cast extension: * Add support for playlist metadata ([#2235](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/2235)). ### 1.6.0 (2025-03-26) This release includes the following changes since the [1.5.1 release](#151-2024-12-19): * Common Library: * Add `AudioManagerCompat` and `AudioFocusRequestCompat` to replace the equivalent classes in `androidx.media`. * Upgrade Kotlin from 1.9.20 to 2.0.20 and use Compose Compiler Gradle plugin. Upgrade KotlinX Coroutines library from 1.8.1 to 1.9.0. * Remove `Format.toBundle(boolean excludeMetadata)` method, use `Format.toBundle()` instead. * Fix bug in `SimpleBasePlayer` where setting a new `currentMediaItemIndex` in `State` after `setPlaylist` with `null` `MediaMetadata` does not reevaluate the metadata ([#1940](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1940)). * Change `SimpleBasePlayer.State` access from protected to public to make it easier to handle updates in other classes ([#2128](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2128)). * ExoPlayer: * Add `MediaExtractorCompat`, a new class that provides equivalent features to platform `MediaExtractor`. * Add experimental 'ExoPlayer' pre-warming support for playback using `MediaCodecVideoRenderer`. You can configure `DefaultRenderersFactory` through `experimentalSetEnableMediaCodecVideoRendererPrewarming` to provide a secondary `MediaCodecVideoRenderer` to `ExoPlayer`. If enabled, `ExoPlayer` pre-processes the video of consecutive media items during playback to reduce media item transition latency. * Reduce default values for `bufferForPlaybackMs` and `bufferForPlaybackAfterRebufferMs` in `DefaultLoadControl` to 1000 and 2000 ms respectively. * Initialize `DeviceInfo` and device volume asynchronously (if enabled using `setDeviceVolumeControlEnabled`). These values aren't available instantly after `ExoPlayer.Builder.build()`, and `Player.Listener` notifies changes through `onDeviceInfoChanged` and `onDeviceVolumeChanged`. * Initial audio session id is no longer immediately available after creating the player. You can use `AnalyticsListener.onAudioSessionIdChanged` to listen to the initial update if required. * Consider language when selecting a video track. By default, select a 'main' video track that matches the language of the selected audio track, if available. Explicit video language preferences can be expressed with `TrackSelectionParameters.Builder.setPreferredVideoLanguage(s)`. * Add `selectedAudioLanguage` parameter to `DefaultTrackSelector.selectVideoTrack()` method. * Add `retryCount` parameter to `MediaSourceEventListener.onLoadStarted` and corresponding `MediaSourceEventListener.EventDispatcher` methods. * Fix bug where playlist items or periods in multi-period DASH streams with durations that don't match the actual content could cause frame freezes at the end of the item ([#1698](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1698)). * Move `BasePreloadManager.Listener` to a top-level `PreloadManagerListener`. * `RenderersFactory.createSecondaryRenderer` can be implemented to provide secondary renderers for pre-warming. Pre-warming enables quicker media item transitions during playback. * Enable sending `CmcdData` for manifest requests in adaptive streaming formats DASH, HLS, and SmoothStreaming ([#1951](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1951)). * Provide `MediaCodecInfo` of the codec that will be initialized in `MediaCodecRenderer.onReadyToInitializeCodec` ([#1963](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1963)). * Change `AdsMediaSource` to allow the `AdPlaybackStates` to grow by appending ad groups. Invalid modifications are detected and throw an exception. * Fix issue where additional decode-only frames may be displayed in quick succession when transitioning to content media after a mid-roll ad. * Make `DefaultRenderersFactory` add two `MetadataRenderer` instances to enable apps to receive two different schemes of metadata by default. * Reevaluate whether the ongoing load of a chunk should be cancelled when playback is paused ([#1785](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1785)). * Add option to `ClippingMediaSource` to allow clipping in unseekable media. * Fix bug where seeking with pre-warming could block following media item transition. * Fix a bug where `ExoPlayer.isLoading()` remains `true` while it has transitioned to `STATE_IDLE` or `STATE_ENDED` ([#2133](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2133)). * Add `lastRebufferRealtimeMs` to `LoadControl.Parameter` ([#2113](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/2113)). * Transformer: * Add support for transmuxing into alternative backward compatible formats. * Add support for transcoding and transmuxing Dolby Vision (profile 8) format. * Update parameters of `VideoFrameProcessor.registerInputStream` and `VideoFrameProcessor.Listener.onInputStreamRegistered` to use `Format`. * Generate HDR static metadata when using `DefaultEncoderFactory`. * Enable support for Android platform diagnostics using `MediaMetricsManager`. Transformer forwards editing events and performance data to the platform, which helps to provide system performance and debugging information on the device. This data may also be collected by Google [if sharing usage and diagnostics data is enabled](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6078260) by the user of the device. Apps can opt-out of contributing to platform diagnostics for Transformer with `Transformer.Builder.setUsePlatformDiagnostics(false)`. * Split `InAppMuxer` into `InAppMp4Muxer` and `InAppFragmentedMp4Muxer`. You use `InAppMp4Muxer` to produce a non-fragmented MP4 file, while `InAppFragmentedMp4Muxer` is for producing a fragmented MP4 file. * Move `Muxer` interface from `media3-muxer` to `media3-transformer`. * Add `MediaProjectionAssetLoader`, which provides media from a `MediaProjection` for screen recording, and add support for screen recording to the Transformer demo app. * Add `#getInputFormat()` to `Codec` interface. * Shift the responsibility to release the `GlObjectsProvider` onto the caller in `DefaultVideoFrameProcessor` and `DefaultVideoCompositor` when possible. * Extractors: * AVI: Fix handling of files with constant bitrate compressed audio where the stream header stores the number of bytes instead of the number of chunks. * Fix handling of NAL units with lengths expressed in 1 or 2 bytes (rather than 4). * Fix `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` in MP4 edit lists when the edit list starts at a non-sync frame with no preceding sync frame ([#2062](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2062)). * Fix issue where TS streams can get stuck on some devices ([#2069](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2069)). * FLAC: Add support for 32-bit FLAC files. Previously these would fail to play with `IllegalStateException: Playback stuck buffering and not loading` ([#2197](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2197)). * Audio: * Fix `onAudioPositionAdvancing` to be called when playback resumes (previously it was called when playback was paused). * Don't bypass `SonicAudioProcessor` when `SpeedChangingAudioProcessor` is configured with default parameters. * Fix underflow in `Sonic#getOutputSize()` that could cause `DefaultAudioSink` to stall. * Fix `MediaCodecAudioRenderer.getDurationToProgressUs()` and `DecoderAudioRenderer.getDurationToProgressUs()` so that seeks correctly reset the provided durations. * Make `androidx.media3.common.audio.SonicAudioProcessor` final. * Add support for float PCM to `ChannelMappingAudioProcessor` and `TrimmingAudioProcessor`. * Video: * Change `MediaCodecVideoRenderer.shouldUsePlaceholderSurface` to protected so that applications can override to block usage of placeholder surfaces ([#1905](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1905)). * Add experimental `ExoPlayer` AV1 sample dependency parsing to speed up seeking. Enable it with the new `DefaultRenderersFactory.experimentalSetParseAv1SampleDependencies` API. * Add experimental `ExoPlayer` API to drop late `MediaCodecVideoRenderer` decoder input buffers that are not depended on. Enable it with `DefaultRenderersFactory.experimentalSetLateThresholdToDropDecoderInputUs`. * Fix issue where a player without a surface was ready immediately and very slow decoding any pending frames ([#1973](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1973)). * Exclude Xiaomi and OPPO devices from detached surface mode to avoid screen flickering ([#2059](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2059)). * Text: * Add support for VobSub subtitles ([#8260](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8260)). * Stop eagerly loading all subtitle files configured with `MediaItem.Builder.setSubtitleConfigurations`, and instead only load one if it is selected by track selection ([#1721](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1721)). * TTML: Add support for referencing `tts:origin` and `tts:extent` using `style` ([#2953](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2953)). * Restrict WebVTT and SubRip timestamps to exactly 3 decimal places. Previously we incorrectly parsed any number of decimal places but always assumed the value was in milliseconds, leading to incorrect timestamps ([#1997](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1997)). * Fix playback hanging when a playlist contains clipped items with CEA-608 or CEA-708 captions. * Fix `IllegalStateException` when an SSA file contains a cue with zero duration (start and end time equal) ([#2052](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2052)). * Suppress (and log) subtitle parsing errors when subtitles are muxed into the same container as audio and video ([#2052](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2052)). * Fix handling of multi-byte UTF-8 characters in WebVTT files using CR line endings ([#2167](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2167)). * DRM: * Fix `MediaCodec$CryptoException: Operation not supported in this configuration` error when playing ClearKey content on API < 27 devices ([#1732](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1732)). * Effect: * Moved the functionality of `OverlaySettings` into `StaticOverlaySettings`. `OverlaySettings` can be subclassed to allow dynamic overlay settings. * Muxers: * Moved `MuxerException` out of `Muxer` interface to avoid a very long fully qualified name. * Renamed `setSampleCopyEnabled()` method to `setSampleCopyingEnabled()` in both `Mp4Muxer.Builder` and `FragmentedMp4Muxer.Builder`. * `Mp4Muxer.addTrack()` and `FragmentedMp4Muxer.addTrack()` now return an `int` track ID instead of a `TrackToken`. * `Mp4Muxer` and `FragmentedMp4Muxer` no longer implement `Muxer` interface. * Disable `Mp4Muxer` sample batching and copying by default. * Fix a bug in `FragmentedMp4Muxer` that creates a lot of fragments when only audio track is written. * Session: * Keep foreground service state for an additional 10 minutes when playback pauses, stops or fails. This allows users to resume playback within this timeout without risking foreground service restrictions on various devices. Note that simply calling `player.pause()` can no longer be used to stop the foreground service before `stopSelf()` when overriding `onTaskRemoved`, use `MediaSessionService.pauseAllPlayersAndStopSelf()` instead. * Keep notification visible when playback enters an error or stopped state. The notification is only removed if the playlist is cleared or the player is released. * Improve handling of Android platform MediaSession actions ACTION_PLAY and ACTION_PAUSE to only set one of them according to the available commands and also accept if only one of them is set. * Add `Context` as a parameter to `MediaButtonReceiver.shouldStartForegroundService` ([#1887](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1887)). * Fix bug where calling a `Player` method on a `MediaController` connected to a legacy session dropped changes from a pending update. * Make `MediaSession.setSessionActivity(PendingIntent)` accept null ([#2109](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2109)). * Fix bug where a stale notification stays visible when the playlist is cleared ([#2211](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2211)). * UI: * Add state holders and composables to the `media3-ui-compose` module for `PlayerSurface`, `PresentationState`, `PlayPauseButtonState`, `NextButtonState`, `PreviousButtonState`, `RepeatButtonState`, `ShuffleButtonState` and `PlaybackSpeedState`. * Downloads: * Fix bug in `CacheWriter` that leaves data sources open and cache areas locked in case the data source throws an `Exception` other than `IOException` ([#9760](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9760)). * HLS extension: * Add a first version of `HlsInterstitialsAdsLoader`. The ads loader reads the HLS interstitials of an HLS media playlist and maps them to the `AdPlaybackState` that is passed to the `AdsMediaSource`. This initial version only supports HLS VOD streams with `X-ASSET-URI` attributes. * Add `HlsInterstitialsAdsLoader.AdsMediaSourceFactory`. Apps can use it to create `AdsMediaSource` instances that use an `HlsInterstitialsAdsLoader` in a convenient and safe way. * Parse `SUPPLEMENTAL-CODECS` tag from HLS playlist to detect Dolby Vision formats ([#1785](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1785)). * Loosen the condition for seeking to sync positions in an HLS stream ([#2209](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2209)). * DASH extension: * Add AC-4 Level-4 format support for DASH ([#1898](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1898)). * Fix issue when calculating the update interval for ad insertion in multi-period live streams ([#1698](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1698)). * Parse `scte214:supplementalCodecs` attribute from DASH manifest to detect Dolby Vision formats ([#1785](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1785)). * Improve handling of period transitions in live streams where the period contains media samples beyond the declared period duration ([#1698](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1698)). * Fix issue where adaptation sets marked with `adaptation-set-switching` but different languages or role flags are merged together ([#2222](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2222)). * Decoder extensions (FFmpeg, VP9, AV1, etc.): * Add the MPEG-H decoder module which uses the native MPEG-H decoder module to decode MPEG-H audio ([#1826](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1826)). * MIDI extension: * Plumb custom `AudioSink` and `AudioRendererEventListener` instances into `MidiRenderer`. * Cast extension: * Bump the `play-services-cast-framework` dependency to 21.5.0 to fix a `FLAG_MUTABLE` crash in apps targeting API 34+ on devices with Google Play services installed but disabled ([#2178](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2178)). * Demo app: * Extend `demo-compose` with additional buttons and enhance `PlayerSurface` integration with scaling and shutter support. * Remove deprecated symbols: * Remove deprecated `AudioMixer.create()` method. Use `DefaultAudioMixer.Factory().create()` instead. * Remove the following deprecated `Transformer.Builder` methods: * `setTransformationRequest()`, use `setAudioMimeType()`, `setVideoMimeType()`, and `setHdrMode()` instead. * `setAudioProcessors()`, set the audio processor in an `EditedMediaItem.Builder.setEffects()`, and pass it to `Transformer.start()` instead. * `setVideoEffects()`, set video effect in an `EditedMediaItem.Builder.setEffects()`, and pass it to `Transformer.start()` instead. * `setRemoveAudio()`, use `EditedMediaItem.Builder.setRemoveAudio()` to remove the audio from the `EditedMediaItem` passed to `Transformer.start()` instead. * `setRemoveVideo()`, use `EditedMediaItem.Builder.setRemoveVideo()` to remove the video from the `EditedMediaItem` passed to `Transformer.start()` instead. * `setFlattenForSlowMotion()`, use `EditedMediaItem.Builder.setFlattenForSlowMotion()` to flatten the `EditedMediaItem` passed to `Transformer.start()` instead. * `setListener()`, use `addListener()`, `removeListener()` or `removeAllListeners()` instead. * Remove the following deprecated `Transformer.Listener` methods: * `onTransformationCompleted(MediaItem)`, use `onCompleted(Composition, ExportResult)` instead. * `onTransformationCompleted(MediaItem, TransformationResult)`, use `onCompleted(Composition, ExportResult)` instead. * `onTransformationError(MediaItem, Exception)`, use `onError(Composition, ExportResult, ExportException)` instead. * `onTransformationError(MediaItem, TransformationException)`, use `onError(Composition, ExportResult, ExportException)` instead. * `onTransformationError(MediaItem, TransformationResult, TransformationException)`, use `onError(Composition, ExportResult, ExportException)` instead. * `onFallbackApplied(MediaItem, TransformationRequest, TransformationRequest)`, use `onFallbackApplied(Composition, TransformationRequest, TransformationRequest)` instead. * Remove deprecated `TransformationResult` class. Use `ExportResult` instead. * Remove deprecated `TransformationException` class. Use `ExportException` instead. * Remove deprecated `Transformer.PROGRESS_STATE_NO_TRANSFORMATION`. Use `Transformer.PROGRESS_STATE_NOT_STARTED` instead. * Remove deprecated `Transformer.setListener()`. Use `Transformer.addListener()`, `Transformer.removeListener()` or `Transformer.removeAllListeners()` instead. * Remove deprecated `Transformer.startTransformation()`. Use `Transformer.start(MediaItem, String)` instead. * Remove deprecated `SingleFrameGlShaderProgram`. Use `BaseGlShaderProgram` instead. * Remove `Transformer.flattenForSlowMotion`. Use `EditedMediaItem.flattenForSlowMotion` instead. * Removed `ExoPlayer.VideoComponent`, `ExoPlayer.AudioComponent`, `ExoPlayer.TextComponent` and `ExoPlayer.DeviceComponent`. * Removed `androidx.media3.exoplayer.audio.SonicAudioProcessor`. * Removed the following deprecated `DownloadHelper` methods: * Constructor `DownloadHelper(MediaItem, @Nullable MediaSource, TrackSelectionParameters, RendererCapabilities[])`, use `DownloadHelper(MediaItem, @Nullable MediaSource, TrackSelectionParameters, RendererCapabilitiesList)` instead. * `getRendererCapabilities(RenderersFactory)`, equivalent functionality can be achieved by creating a `DefaultRendererCapabilitiesList` with a `RenderersFactory`, and calling `DefaultRendererCapabilitiesList.getRendererCapabilities()`. * Removed `PlayerNotificationManager.setMediaSessionToken(MediaSessionCompat)` method. Use `PlayerNotificationManager.setMediaSessionToken(MediaSession.Token)` and pass in `(MediaSession.Token) compatToken.getToken()` instead. ### 1.6.0-rc02 (2025-03-18) Use the 1.6.0 [stable version](#160-2025-03-26). ### 1.6.0-rc01 (2025-03-12) Use the 1.6.0 [stable version](#160-2025-03-26). ### 1.6.0-beta01 (2025-02-26) Use the 1.6.0 [stable version](#160-2025-03-26). ### 1.6.0-alpha03 (2025-02-06) Use the 1.6.0 [stable version](#160-2025-03-26). ### 1.6.0-alpha02 (2025-01-30) Use the 1.6.0 [stable version](#160-2025-03-26). ### 1.6.0-alpha01 (2024-12-20) Use the 1.6.0 [stable version](#160-2025-03-26). ## 1.5 ### 1.5.1 (2024-12-19) This release includes the following changes since the [1.5.0 release](#150-2024-11-27): * ExoPlayer: * Disable use of asynchronous decryption in MediaCodec to avoid reported codec timeout issues with this platform API ([#1641](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1641)). * Extractors: * MP3: Don't stop playback early when a `VBRI` frame's table of contents doesn't cover all the MP3 data in a file ([#1904](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1904)). * Video: * Rollback of using `MediaCodecAdapter` supplied pixel aspect ratio values when provided while processing `onOutputFormatChanged` ([#1371](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1371)). * Text: * Fix bug in `ReplacingCuesResolver.discardCuesBeforeTimeUs` where the cue active at `timeUs` (started before but not yet ended) was incorrectly discarded ([#1939](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1939)). * Metadata: * Extract disc/track numbering and genre from Vorbis comments into `MediaMetadata` ([#1958](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1958)). ### 1.5.0 (2024-11-27) This release includes the following changes since the [1.4.1 release](#141-2024-08-23): * Common Library: * Add `ForwardingSimpleBasePlayer` that allows forwarding to another player with small adjustments while ensuring full consistency and listener handling ([#1183](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1183)). * Replace `SimpleBasePlayer.State.playlist` by `getPlaylist()` method. * Add override for `SimpleBasePlayer.State.Builder.setPlaylist()` to directly specify a `Timeline` and current `Tracks` and `Metadata` instead of building a playlist structure. * Increase `minSdk` to 21 (Android Lollipop). This is aligned with all other AndroidX libraries. * Add `androidx.media3:media3-common-ktx` artifact which provides Kotlin-specific functionality built on top of the Common library * Add `Player.listen` suspending extension function to spin a coroutine to listen to `Player.Events` to the `media3-common-ktx` library. * Remove `@DoNotInline` annotations from manually out-of-lined inner classes designed to avoid [runtime class verification failures](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/build/android/docs/class_verification_failures.md). Recent versions of [R8](https://developer.android.com/build/shrink-code) now automatically out-of-line calls like these to avoid the runtime failures (so the manual out-of-lining is no longer required). All Gradle users of the library must already be a using a version of the Android Gradle Plugin that uses a version of R8 which does this, [due to `compileSdk = 35`](https://issuetracker.google.com/345472586#comment7). Users of the library with non-Gradle build systems will need to ensure their R8-equivalent shrinking/obfuscating step does a similar automatic out-of-lining process in order to avoid runtime class verification failures. This change has [already been done in other AndroidX libraries](http://r.android.com/3156141). * ExoPlayer: * `MediaCodecRenderer.onProcessedStreamChange()` can now be called for every media item. Previously it was not called for the first one. Use `MediaCodecRenderer.experimentalEnableProcessedStreamChangedAtStart()` to enable this. * Add `PreloadMediaSource.PreloadControl.onPreloadError` to allow `PreloadMediaSource.PreloadControl` implementations to take actions when error occurs. * Add `BasePreloadManager.Listener` to propagate preload events to apps. * Allow changing SNTP client timeout and retry alternative addresses on timeout ([#1540](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1540)). * Remove `MediaCodecAdapter.Configuration.flags` as the field was always zero. * Allow the user to select the built-in speaker for playback on Wear OS API 35+ (where the device advertises support for this). * Defer the blocking call to `Context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE)` until audio focus handling is enabled. This ensures the blocking call isn't done if audio focus handling is not enabled ([#1616](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1616)). * Allow playback regardless of buffered duration when loading fails ([#1571](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1571)). * Add `AnalyticsListener.onRendererReadyChanged()` to signal when individual renderers allow playback to be ready. * Fix `MediaCodec.CryptoException` sometimes being reported as an "unexpected runtime error" when `MediaCodec` is operated in asynchronous mode (default behaviour on API 31+). * Pass `bufferedDurationUs` instead of `bufferedPositionUs` with `PreloadMediaSource.PreloadControl.onContinueLoadingRequested()`. Also changes `DefaultPreloadManager.Status.STAGE_LOADED_TO_POSITION_MS` to `DefaultPreloadManager.Status.STAGE_LOADED_FOR_DURATION_MS`, apps then need to pass a value representing a specific duration from the default start position for which the corresponding media source has to be preloaded with this IntDef, instead of a position. * Add `ForwardingRenderer` implementation that forwards all method calls to another renderer ([1703](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1703)). * Add playlist preloading for the next item in the playlist. Apps can enable preloading by calling `ExoPlayer.setPreloadConfiguration(PreloadConfiguration)` accordingly. By default preloading is disabled. When opted-in and to not interfere with playback, `DefaultLoadControl` restricts preloading to start and continue only when the player is not loading for playback. Apps can change this behaviour by implementing `LoadControl.shouldContinuePreloading()` accordingly (like when overriding this method in `DefaultLoadControl`). The default implementation of `LoadControl` disables preloading in case an app is using a custom implementation of `LoadControl`. * Add method `MediaSourceEventListener.EventDispatcher.dispatchEvent()` to allow invoking events of subclass listeners ([1736](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1736)). * Add `DefaultPreloadManager.Builder` that builds the `DefaultPreloadManager` and `ExoPlayer` instances with consistently shared configurations. * Remove `Renderer[]` parameter from `LoadControl.onTracksSelected()` as `DefaultLoadControl` implementation can retrieve the stream types from `ExoTrackSelection[]`. * Deprecated `DefaultLoadControl.calculateTargetBufferBytes(Renderer[], ExoTrackSelection[])` and marked method as final to prevent overrides. The new `DefaultLoadControl.calculateTargetBufferBytes(ExoTrackSelection[])` should be used instead. * Report `MediaSourceEventListener` events from secondary sources in `MergingMediaSource`. This will result in load start/error/cancelled/completed events being reported for sideloaded subtitles (those added with `MediaItem.LocalConfiguration.subtitleConfigurations`), which may appear as duplicate load events emitted from `AnalyticsListener`. * Prevent subtitle & metadata errors from completely stopping playback. Instead the problematic track is disabled and playback of the remaining tracks continues ([#1722](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/1722)). * In new subtitle handling (during extraction), associated parse (e.g. invalid subtitle data) and load errors (e.g. HTTP 404) are emitted via `onLoadError` callbacks. * In legacy subtitle handling (during rendering), only associated load errors are emitted via `onLoadError` callbacks while parse errors are silently ignored (this is pre-existing behaviour). * Fix bug where playlist items or periods in multi-period DASH streams with durations that don't match the actual content could cause frame freezes at the end of the item ([#1698](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1698)). * Add a setter to `SntpClient` to set the max elapsed time since the last update after which the client is re-initialized ([#1794](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1794)). * Transformer: * Add `SurfaceAssetLoader`, which supports queueing video data to Transformer via a `Surface`. * `ImageAssetLoader` reports unsupported input via `AssetLoader.onError` instead of throwing an `IllegalStateException`. * Make setting the image duration using `MediaItem.Builder.setImageDurationMs` mandatory for image export. * Add export support for gaps in sequences of audio EditedMediaItems. * Track Selection: * `DefaultTrackSelector`: Prefer object-based audio over channel-based audio when other factors are equal. * Extractors: * Allow `Mp4Extractor` and `FragmentedMp4Extractor` to identify H264 samples that are not used as reference by subsequent samples. * Add option to enable index-based seeking in `AmrExtractor`. * Treat MP3 files with more than 128kB between valid frames as truncated (instead of invalid). This means files with non-MP3 data at the end, with no other metadata to indicate the length of the MP3 bytes, now stop playback at the end of the MP3 data instead of failing with `ParserException: Searched too many bytes.{contentIsMalformed=true, dataType=1}` ([#1563](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1563)). * Fix preroll sample handling for non-keyframe media start positions when processing edit lists in MP4 files ([#1659](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/1659)). * Improved frame rate calculation by using media duration from the `mdhd` box in `Mp4Extractor` and `FragmentedMp4Extractor` ([#1531](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1531)). * Fix incorrect scaling of `media_time` in MP4 edit lists. While `segment_duration` was already correctly scaled using the movie timescale, `media_time` is now properly scaled using the track timescale, as specified by the MP4 format standard ([#1792](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1792)). * Handle out-of-order frames in `endIndices` calculation for MP4 with edit list ([#1797](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1797)). * Fix media duration parsing in `mdhd` box of MP4 files to handle `-1` values ([#1819](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1819)). * Add support for identifying `h263` box in MP4 files for H.263 video ([#1821](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1821)). * Add AC-4 Level-4 ISO base media file format support ([#1265](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1265)). * DataSource: * Update `HttpEngineDataSource` to allow use starting at version S extension 7 instead of API level 34 ([#1262](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1262)). * `DataSourceContractTest`: Assert that `DataSource.getUri()` returns the resolved URI (as documented). Where this is different to the requested URI, tests can indicate this using the new `DataSourceContractTest.TestResource.Builder.setResolvedUri()` method. * `DataSourceContractTest`: Assert that `DataSource.getUri()` and `getResponseHeaders()` return their 'open' value after a failed call to `open()` (due to a 'not found' resource) and before a subsequent `close()` call. * Overriding `DataSourceContractTest.getNotFoundResources()` allows test sub-classes to provide multiple 'not found' resources, and to provide any expected headers too. This allows to distinguish between HTTP 404 (with headers) and "server not found" (no headers). * Audio: * Automatically configure CTA-2075 loudness metadata on the codec if present in the media. * Ensure smooth volume ramp down when seeking. * Fix pop sounds that may occur during seeks. * Fix truncation error accumulation for Sonic's time-stretching/pitch-shifting algorithm. * Fix bug in `SpeedChangingAudioProcessor` that causes dropped output frames. * Video: * `MediaCodecVideoRenderer` avoids decoding samples that are neither rendered nor used as reference by other samples. * On API 35 and above, `MediaCodecAdapter` may now receive a `null` `Surface` in `configure` and calls to a new method `detachOutputSurface` to remove a previously set `Surface` if the codec supports this (`MediaCodecInfo.detachedSurfaceSupported`). * Use `MediaCodecAdapter` supplied pixel aspect ratio values if provided when processing `onOutputFormatChanged` ([#1371](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1371)). * Add workaround for a device issue on Galaxy Tab S7 FE that causes 60fps secure H264 streams to be marked as unsupported ([#1619](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1619)). * Add workaround for codecs that get stuck after the last sample without returning an end-of-stream signal. * Text: * Add a custom `VoiceSpan` and populate it for [WebVTT voice spans](https://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/#webvtt-cue-voice-span) ([#1632](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1632)). * Ensure WebVTT in HLS with very large subtitle timestamps (which overflow a 64-bit `long` when represented as microseconds and multiplied by the `90,000` MPEG timebase) are displayed ([#1763](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1763)). * Support CEA-608 subtitles in Dolby Vision content ([#1820](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1820)). * Fix playback hanging on DASH multi-period streams when CEA-608 subtitles are enabled ([#1863](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1863)). * Metadata: * Assign the `C.TRACK_TYPE_METADATA` type to tracks containing icy or vnd.dvb.ait content. * Image: * Add `ExternallyLoadedImageDecoder` for simplified integration with external image loading libraries like Glide or Coil. * DataSource: * Add `FileDescriptorDataSource`, a new `DataSource` that can be used to read from a `FileDescriptor` ([#3757](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3757)). * Effect: * Add `DefaultVideoFrameProcessor` workaround for minor `SurfaceTexture` scaling. `SurfaceTexture` may include a small scaling that cuts off a 1-texel border around the edge of a cropped buffer. This is now handled such that output is closer to expected. * Speed up `DefaultVideoFrameProcessor.queueInputBitmap()`. As a result, exporting images to videos with `Transformer` is faster. * IMA extension: * Fix bug where clearing the playlist may cause an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` in `ImaServerSideAdInsertionMediaSource`. * Fix bug where server-side inserted DAI streams without a preroll can result in an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` when playing past the last midroll ([#1741](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1741)). * Session: * Add `MediaButtonReceiver.shouldStartForegroundService(Intent)` to allow apps to suppress a play command coming in for playback resumption by overriding this method. By default, the service is always started and playback can't be suppressed without the system crashing the service with a `ForegroundServiceDidNotStartInTimeException` ([#1528](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/1528)). * Fix bug that caused custom commands sent from a `MediaBrowser` being dispatched to the `MediaSessionCompat.Callback` instead of the `MediaBrowserServiceCompat` variant of the method when connected to a legacy service. This prevented the `MediaBrowser` to receive the actual return value sent back by the legacy service ([#1474](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1474)). * Handle `IllegalArgumentException` thrown by devices of certain manufacturers when setting the broadcast receiver for media button intents ([#1730](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1730)). * Add command buttons for media items. This adds the Media3 API for what was known as `Custom browse actions` with the legacy library with `MediaBrowserCompat`. Note that with Media3 command buttons for media items are available for both, `MediaBrowser` and `MediaController`. See [Custom Browse actions of AAOS](https://developer.android.com/training/cars/media#custom_browse_actions). * Fix bug where a Media3 controller was sometimes unable to let a session app start a foreground service after requesting `play()`. * Restrict `CommandButton.Builder.setIconUri` to only accept content Uris. * Pass connection hints of a Media3 browser to the initial `MediaBrowserCompat` when connecting to a legacy `MediaBrowserCompat`. The service can receive the connection hints passed in as root hints with the first call to `onGetRoot()`. * Fix bug where a `MediaBrowser` connected to a legacy browser service, didn't receive an error sent by the service after the browser has subscribed to a `parentid`. * Improve interoperability behavior, so that a Media3 browser that is connected to a legacy `MediaBrowserService` doesn't request the children of a `parentId` twice when subscribing to a parent. * UI: * Make the stretched/cropped video in `PlayerView`-in-Compose-`AndroidView` workaround opt-in, due to issues with XML-based shared transitions. Apps using `PlayerView` inside `AndroidView` need to call `PlayerView.setEnableComposeSurfaceSyncWorkaround` in order to opt-in ([#1237](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1237), [#1594](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1594)). * Add `setFullscreenButtonState` to `PlayerView` to allow updates of fullscreen button's icon on demand, i.e. out-of-band and not reactively to a click interaction ([#1590](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1590), [#184](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/184)). * Fix bug where the "None" choice in the text selection is not working if there are app-defined text track selection preferences. * DASH extension: * Add support for periods starting in the middle of a segment ([#1440](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1440)). * Smooth Streaming extension: * Fix a `Bad magic number for Bundle` error when playing SmoothStreaming streams with text tracks ([#1779](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1779)). * RTSP extension: * Fix user info removal for URLs that contain encoded @ characters ([#1138](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1138)). * Fix crashing when parsing of RTP packets with header extensions ([#1225](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1225)). * Decoder extensions (FFmpeg, VP9, AV1, etc.): * Add the IAMF decoder module, which provides support for playback of MP4 files containing IAMF tracks using the libiamf native library to synthesize audio. * Playback is enabled with a stereo layout as well as 5.1 with spatialization together with optional head tracking enabled, but binaural playback support is currently not available. * Add 16 KB page support for decoder extensions on Android 15 ([#1685](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1685)). * Cast extension: * Stop cleaning the timeline after the CastSession disconnects, which enables the sender app to resume playback locally after a disconnection. * Populate CastPlayer's `DeviceInfo` when a `Context` is provided. This enables linking the `MediaSession` to a `RoutingSession`, which is necessary for integrating Output Switcher ([#1056](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1056)). * Test Utilities: * `DataSourceContractTest` now includes tests to verify: * Input stream `read position` is updated. * Output buffer `offset` is applied correctly. * Demo app * Resolve the memory leaks in demo short-form app ([#1839](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1839)). * Remove deprecated symbols: * Remove deprecated `Player.hasPrevious`, `Player.hasPreviousWindow()`. Use `Player.hasPreviousMediaItem()` instead. * Remove deprecated `Player.previous()`method. Use `Player.seekToPreviousMediaItem()` instead. * Remove deprecated `DrmSessionEventListener.onDrmSessionAcquired` method. * Remove deprecated `DefaultEncoderFactory` constructors. Use `DefaultEncoderFactory.Builder` instead. ### 1.5.0-rc02 (2024-11-19) Use the 1.5.0 [stable version](#150-2024-11-27). ### 1.5.0-rc01 (2024-11-13) Use the 1.5.0 [stable version](#150-2024-11-27). ### 1.5.0-beta01 (2024-10-30) Use the 1.5.0 [stable version](#150-2024-11-27). ### 1.5.0-alpha01 (2024-09-06) Use the 1.5.0 [stable version](#150-2024-11-27). ## 1.4 ### 1.4.1 (2024-08-23) This release includes the following changes since the [1.4.0 release](#140-2024-07-24): * ExoPlayer: * Handle preload callbacks asynchronously in `PreloadMediaSource` ([#1568](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1568)). * Allow playback regardless of buffered duration when loading fails ([#1571](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1571)). * Extractors: * MP3: Fix `Searched too many bytes` error by correctly ignoring trailing non-MP3 data based on the length field in an `Info` frame ([#1480](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1480)). * Text: * TTML: Fix handling of percentage `tts:fontSize` values to ensure they are correctly inherited from parent nodes with percentage `tts:fontSize` values. * Fix `IndexOutOfBoundsException` in `LegacySubtitleUtil` due to incorrectly handling the case of the requested output start time being greater than or equal to the final event time in the `Subtitle` ([#1516](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1516)). * DRM: * Fix `android.media.MediaCodec$CryptoException: Operation not supported in this configuration: ERROR_DRM_CANNOT_HANDLE` error on API 31+ devices playing L1 Widevine content. This error is caused by an incomplete implementation of the framework [`MediaDrm.requiresSecureDecoder`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaDrm#requiresSecureDecoder\(java.lang.String\)) method ([#1603](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1603)). * Effect: * Add a `release()` method to `GlObjectsProvider`. * Session: * Transform a double-tap of `KEYCODE_HEADSETHOOK` into a 'seek to next' action, as [documented](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/media3/session/MediaSession#media-key-events-mapping) ([#1493](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1493)). * Handle `KEYCODE_HEADSETHOOK` as a 'play' command in `MediaButtonReceiver` when deciding whether to ignore it to avoid a `ForegroundServiceDidNotStartInTimeException` ([#1581](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1581)). * RTSP extension: * Skip invalid Media Descriptions in SDP parsing ([#1087](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1472)). ### 1.4.0 (2024-07-24) This release includes the following changes since the [1.3.1 release](#131-2024-04-11): * Common Library: * Forward presumed no-op seek calls to the protected `BasePlayer.seekTo()` and `SimpleBasePlayer.handleSeek()` methods instead of ignoring them. If you are implementing these methods in a custom player, you may need to handle these additional calls with `mediaItemIndex == C.INDEX_UNSET`. * Remove compile dependency on enhanced Java 8 desugaring ([#1312](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1312)). * Ensure the duration passed to `MediaItem.Builder.setImageDurationMs()` is ignored for a non-image `MediaItem` (as documented). * Add `Format.customData` to store app-provided custom information about `Format` instances. * ExoPlayer: * Add `BasePreloadManager` which coordinates the preloading for multiple sources based on the priorities defined by their `rankingData`. Customization is possible by extending this class. Add `DefaultPreloadManager` which uses `PreloadMediaSource` to preload media samples of the sources into memory, and uses an integer `rankingData` that indicates the index of an item on the UI. * Add `PlayerId` to most methods of `LoadControl` to enable `LoadControl` implementations to support multiple players. * Remove `Buffer.isDecodeOnly()` and `C.BUFFER_FLAG_DECODE_ONLY`. There is no need to set this flag as renderers and decoders will decide to skip buffers based on timestamp. Custom `Renderer` implementations should check if the buffer time is at least `BaseRenderer.getLastResetPositionUs()` to decide whether a sample should be shown. Custom `SimpleDecoder` implementations can check `isAtLeastOutputStartTimeUs()` if needed or mark other buffers with `DecoderOutputBuffer.shouldBeSkipped` to skip them. * Allow a null value to be returned by `TargetPreloadStatusControl.getTargetPreloadStatus(T)` to indicate not to preload a `MediaSource` with the given `rankingData`. * Add `remove(MediaSource)` to `BasePreloadManager`. * Add `reset()` to `BasePreloadManager` to release all the holding sources while keep the preload manager instance. * Add `ExoPlayer.setPriority()` (and `Builder.setPriority()`) to define the priority value used in `PriorityTaskManager` and for MediaCodec importance from API 35. * Fix issue with updating the last rebuffer time which resulted in incorrect `bs` (buffer starvation) key in CMCD ([#1124](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1124)). * Add `PreloadMediaSource.PreloadControl.onLoadedToTheEndOfSource(PreloadMediaSource)` to indicate that the source has loaded to the end. This allows the `DefaultPreloadManager` and the custom `PreloadMediaSource.PreloadControl` implementations to preload the next source or take other actions. * Fix bug where silence skipping at the end of items can trigger a playback exception. * Add `clear` to `PreloadMediaSource` to discard the preloading period. * Add new error code `PlaybackException.ERROR_CODE_DECODING_RESOURCES_RECLAIMED` that is used when codec resources are reclaimed for higher priority tasks. * Let `AdsMediaSource` load preroll ads before initial content media preparation completes ([#1358](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1358)). * Fix bug where playback moved to `STATE_ENDED` when re-preparing a multi-period DASH live stream after the original period was already removed from the manifest. * Rename `onTimelineRefreshed()` to `onSourcePrepared()` and `onPrepared()` to `onTracksSelected()` in `PreloadMediaSource.PreloadControl`. Also rename the IntDefs in `DefaultPreloadManager.Stage` accordingly. * Add experimental support for dynamic scheduling to better align work with CPU wake-cycles and delay waking up to when renderers can progress. You can enable this using `experimentalSetDynamicSchedulingEnabled()` when setting up your ExoPlayer instance. * Add `Renderer.getDurationToProgressUs()`. A `Renderer` can implement this method to return to ExoPlayer the duration that playback must advance for the renderer to progress. If `ExoPlayer` is set with `experimentalSetDynamicSchedulingEnabled()` then `ExoPlayer` will call this method when calculating the time to schedule its work task. * Add `MediaCodecAdapter#OnBufferAvailableListener` to alert when input and output buffers are available for use by `MediaCodecRenderer`. `MediaCodecRenderer` will signal `ExoPlayer` when receiving these callbacks and if `ExoPlayer` is set with `experimentalSetDynamicSchedulingEnabled()`, then `ExoPlayer` will schedule its work loop as renderers can make progress. * Use data class for `LoadControl` methods instead of individual parameters. * Add `ExoPlayer.isReleased()` to check whether `Exoplayer.release()` has been called. * Add `ExoPlayer.Builder.setMaxSeekToPreviousPositionMs()` to configure the maximum position for which `seekToPrevious()` seeks to the previous item ([#1425](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1425)). * Fix some audio focus inconsistencies, e.g. not reporting full or transient focus loss while the player is paused ([#1436](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1436)). * Fix potential `IndexOutOfBoundsException` caused by extractors reporting additional tracks after the initial preparation step ([#1476](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1476)). * `Effects` in `ExoPlayer.setVideoEffect()` will receive the timestamps with the renderer offset removed ([#1098](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1098)). * Fix potential `IllegalArgumentException` when handling player error that happened while reading ahead into another playlist item ([#1483](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1483)). * Transformer: * Add `audioConversionProcess` and `videoConversionProcess` to `ExportResult` indicating how the respective track in the output file was made. * Relax trim optimization H.264 level checks. * Add support for changing between SDR and HDR input media in a sequence. * Add support for composition-level audio effects. * Add support for transcoding Ultra HDR images into HDR videos. * Fix issue where the `DefaultAudioMixer` does not output the correct amount of bytes after being reset and reused. * Work around a decoder bug where the number of audio channels was capped at stereo when handling PCM input. * When selecting tracks in `ExoPlayerAssetLoader`, ignore audio channel count constraints as they only apply for playback. * Replace `androidx.media3.transformer.Muxer` interface with `androidx.media3.muxer.Muxer` and remove `androidx.media3.transformer.Muxer`. * Fix HEIC image loading from content URI schemes. ([#1373](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1373)). * Adjust audio track duration in `AudioGraphInput` to improve AV sync. * Remove `ExportResult.processedInputs` field. If you use this field for codec details, then use `DefaultDecoderFactory.listener` instead. In case of a codec exception, codec details will be available in the `ExportException.codecInfo`. * Extractors: * MPEG-TS: Roll forward the change ensuring the last frame is rendered by passing the last access unit of a stream to the sample queue ([#7909](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7909)). Incorporating fixes to resolve the issues that emerged in I-frame only HLS streams([#1150](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1150)) and H.262 HLS streams ([#1126](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1126)). * MP3: Prefer the data size from an `Info` frame over the size reported by the underlying stream (e.g. file size, or HTTP `Content-Length` header). This helps to exclude non-playable trailer data (e.g. album artwork) from constant bitrate seeking calculations, making seeks more accurate ([#1376](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1376)). * MP3: Use the frame count and other data in an `Info` frame (if present) to compute an average bitrate for constant bitrate seeking, rather than extrapolating from the bitrate of the frame after the `Info` frame, which may be artificially small, e.g. `PCUT` frame ([#1376](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1376)). * Fix PCM audio format extraction in AVI containers. * Audio: * Fix DTS:X Profile 2 encoding attributes for passthrough playback ([#1299](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1299)). * For offloaded playback, reset the tracking field for stream completion in `DefaultAudioSink` prior to calling `AudioTrack.stop()` so that `AudioTrack.StreamEventCallback#onPresentationEnded` correctly identifies when all pending data has been played. * Fix bug in `SilenceSkippingAudioProcessor` where transitions between different audio formats (for example stereo to mono) can cause the processor to throw an exception ([#1352](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1352)). * Implement `MediaCodecAudioRenderer.getDurationToProgressUs()` so that ExoPlayer will dynamically schedule its main work loop to when the MediaCodecAudioRenderer can make progress. * Video: * Fix issue where `Listener.onRenderedFirstFrame()` arrives too early when switching surfaces mid-playback. * Fix decoder fallback logic for Dolby Vision to use a compatible AV1 decoder if needed ([#1389](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1389)). * Fix codec exception that may be caused by enabling a video renderer mid-playback. * Text: * Fix issue where subtitles starting before a seek position are skipped. This issue was only introduced in Media3 1.4.0-alpha01. * Change default subtitle parsing behavior so it happens during extraction instead of during rendering (see [ExoPlayer's architecture diagram](https://developer.android.com/media/media3/exoplayer/glossary#exoplayer) for the difference between extraction and rendering). * This change can be overridden by calling **both** `MediaSource.Factory.experimentalParseSubtitlesDuringExtraction(false)` and `TextRenderer.experimentalSetLegacyDecodingEnabled(true)`. See the [docs on customization](https://developer.android.com/media/media3/exoplayer/customization) for how to plumb these components into an `ExoPlayer` instance. These methods (and all support for legacy subtitle decoding) will be removed in a future release. * Apps with custom `SubtitleDecoder` implementations need to update them to implement `SubtitleParser` instead (and `SubtitleParser.Factory` instead of `SubtitleDecoderFactory`). * PGS: Fix run-length decoding to resolve `0` as a color index, instead of a literal color value ([#1367](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1367)). * CEA-708: Ignore `rowLock` value. The CEA-708-E S-2023 spec states that `rowLock` and `columnLock` should both be assumed to be true, regardless of the values present in the stream (`columnLock` support is not implemented, so it's effectively assumed to always be false). * This was originally included in the `1.3.0-alpha01` release notes, but the change was accidentally reverted before the `1.3.0-rc01` release. This is now fixed, so the change is present again. * CEA-708: Avoid duplicate newlines being added by ExoPlayer's naive handling of the 'set pen location' command ([#1315](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1315)). * Fix an `IllegalArgumentException` from `LegacySubtitleUtil` when a WebVTT subtitle sample contains no cues, e.g. as part of a DASH stream ([#1516](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1516)). * Metadata: * Fix mapping of MP4 to ID3 sort tags. Previously the 'album sort' (`soal`), 'artist sort' (`soar`) and 'album artist sort' (`soaa`) MP4 tags were wrongly mapped to the `TSO2`, `TSOA` and `TSOP` ID3 tags ([#1302](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1302)). * Fix reading of MP4 (/iTunes) numeric `gnre` (genre) and `tmpo` (tempo) tags when the value is more than one byte long. * Propagate ID3 `TCON` frame to `MediaMetadata.genre` ([#1305](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1305)). * Image: * Add support for non-square DASH thumbnail grids ([#1300](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1300)). * Add support for AVIF for API 34+. * Allow `null` as parameter for `ExoPlayer.setImageOutput()` to clear a previously set `ImageOutput`. * DataSource: * Implement support for `android.resource://package/id` raw resource URIs where `package` is different to the package of the current application. This wasn't previously documented to work, but is a more efficient way of accessing resources in another package than by name. * Eagerly check `url` is non-null in the `DataSpec` constructors. This parameter was already annotated to be non-null. * Allow `ByteArrayDataSource` to resolve a URI to a byte array during `open()`, instead of being hard-coded at construction ([#1405](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1405)). * DRM: * Allow setting a `LoadErrorHandlingPolicy` on `DefaultDrmSessionManagerProvider` ([#1271](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1271)). * Effect: * Support multiple speed changes within the same `EditedMediaItem` or `Composition` in `SpeedChangeEffect`. * Support for HLG and PQ output from ultra HDR bitmap input. * Add support for EGL_GL_COLORSPACE_BT2020_HLG_EXT, which improves HLG surface output in ExoPlayer.setVideoEffect and Transformer's Debug SurfaceView. * Update Overlay matrix implementation to make it consistent with the documentation by flipping the x and y values applied in `setOverlayFrameAnchor()`. If using `OverlaySettings.Builder.setOverlayFrameAnchor()`, flip their x and y values by multiplying them by `-1`. * Fix bug where `TimestampWrapper` crashes when used with `ExoPlayer#setVideoEffects` ([#821](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/821)). * Change default SDR color working space from linear colors to electrical BT 709 SDR video. Also provide third option to retain the original colorspace. * Allow defining indeterminate z-order of EditedMediaItemSequences ([#1055](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1055)). * Maintain a consistent luminance range across different pieces of HDR content (uses the HLG range). * Add support for Ultra HDR (bitmap) overlays on HDR content. * Allow `SeparableConvolution` effects to be used before API 26. * Remove unused `OverlaySettings.useHdr` since dynamic range of overlay and frame must match. * Add HDR support for `TextOverlay`. Luminance of the text overlay can be adjusted with `OverlaySettings.Builder.setHdrLuminanceMultiplier()`. * IMA extension: * Promote API that is required for apps to play [DAI ad streams](https://developers.google.com/ad-manager/dynamic-ad-insertion/full-service) to stable. * Add `replaceAdTagParameters(Map )` to `ImaServerSideAdInsertionMediaSource.AdLoader` that allows replacing ad tag parameters at runtime. * Fix bug where `VideoAdPlayer.VideoAdPlayerCallback.onError()` was not called when a player error happened during ad playback ([#1334](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1334)). * Bump IMA SDK version to 3.33.0 to fix a `NullPointerException` when using `data://` ad tag URIs ([#700](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/700)). * Session: * Change default of `CommandButton.enabled` to `true` and ensure the value can stay false for controllers even if the associated command is available. * Add icon constants for `CommandButton` that should be used instead of custom icon resources. * Add `MediaSessionService.isPlaybackOngoing()` to let apps query whether the service needs to be stopped in `onTaskRemoved()` ([#1219](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1219)). * Add `MediaSessionService.pauseAllPlayersAndStopSelf()` that conveniently allows to pause playback of all sessions and call `stopSelf()` to terminate the lifecycle of the `MediaSessionService`. * Override `MediaSessionService.onTaskRemoved(Intent)` to provide a safe default implementation that keeps the service running in the foreground if playback is ongoing or stops the service otherwise. * Hide seekbar in the media notification for live streams by not setting the duration into the platform session metadata ([#1256](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1256)). * Align conversion of `MediaMetadata` to `MediaDescriptionCompat`, to use the same preferred order and logic when selecting metadata properties as in media1. * Add `MediaSession.sendError()` that allows sending non-fatal errors to Media3 controller. When using the notification controller (see `MediaSession.getMediaNotificationControllerInfo()`), the custom error is used to update the `PlaybackState` of the platform session to an error state with the given error information ([#543](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/543)). * Add `MediaSession.Callback.onPlayerInteractionFinished()` to inform sessions when a series of player interactions from a specific controller finished. * Add `SessionError` and use it in `SessionResult` and `LibraryResult` instead of the error code to provide more information about the error and how to resolve the error if possible. * Publish the code for the media3 controller test app that can be used to test interactions with apps publishing a media session. * Propagate extras passed to media3's `MediaSession[Builder].setSessionExtras()` to a media1 controller's `PlaybackStateCompat.getExtras()`. * Map fatal and non-fatal errors to and from the platform session. A `PlaybackException` is mapped to a fatal error state of the `PlaybackStateCompat`. A `SessionError` sent to the media notification controller with `MediaSession.sendError(ControllerInfo, SessionError)` is mapped to a non-fatal error in `PlaybackStateCompat` which means that error code and message are set but the state of the platform session remains different to `STATE_ERROR`. * Allow the session activity to be set per controller to override the global session activity. The session activity can be defined for a controller at connection time by creating a `ConnectionResult` with `AcceptedResultBuilder.setSessionActivivty(PendingIntent)`. Once connected, the session activity can be updated with `MediaSession.setSessionActivity(ControllerInfo, PendingIntent)`. * Improve error replication of calls to `MediaLibrarySession.Callback`. Error replication can now be configured by using `MediaLibrarySession.Builder.setLibraryErrorReplicationMode()` for choosing the error type or opt-ing out of error replication which is on by default. * UI: * Add image display support to `PlayerView` when connected to an `ExoPlayer` ([#1144](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1144)). * Add customization of various icons in `PlayerControlView` through xml attributes to allow different drawables per `PlayerView` instance, rather than global overrides ([#1200](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1200)). * Work around a platform bug causing stretched/cropped video when using `SurfaceView` inside a Compose `AndroidView` on API 34 ([#1237](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1237)). * Downloads: * Ensure that `DownloadHelper` does not leak unreleased `Renderer` instances, which can eventually result in an app crashing with `IllegalStateException: Too many receivers, total of 1000, registered for pid` ([#1224](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1224)). * Cronet extension: * Fix `SocketTimeoutException` in `CronetDataSource`. In some versions of Cronet, the request provided by the callback is not always the same. This leads to callback not completing and request timing out (https://issuetracker.google.com/328442628). * HLS extension: * Fix bug where pending EMSG samples waiting for a discontinuity were delegated in `HlsSampleStreamWrapper` with an incorrect offset causing an `IndexOutOfBoundsException` or an `IllegalArgumentException` ([#1002](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1002)). * Fix bug where non-primary playlists keep reloading for LL-HLS streams ([#1240](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1240)). * Fix bug where enabling CMCD for HLS with initialization segments resulted in `Source Error` and `IllegalArgumentException`. * Fix bug where non-primary playing playlists are not refreshed during live playback ([#1240](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1240)). * Fix bug where enabling CMCD for HLS live streams causes `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` ([#1395](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1395)). * DASH extension: * Fix bug where re-preparing a multi-period live stream can throw an `IndexOutOfBoundsException` ([#1329](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1329)). * Add support for `dashif:Laurl` license urls ([#1345](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1345)). * Cast extension: * Fix bug that converted the album title of the `MediaQueueItem` to the artist in the Media3 media item ([#1255](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1255)). * Test Utilities: * Implement `onInit()` and `onRelease()` in `FakeRenderer`. * Change `TestPlayerRunHelper.runUntil()/playUntil()` methods to fail on nonfatal errors (e.g. those reported to `AnalyticsListener.onVideoCodecError()`). Use the new `TestPlayerRunHelper.run(player).ignoringNonFatalErrors().untilXXX()` method chain to disable this behavior. * Demo app: * Use `DefaultPreloadManager` in the short form demo app. * Allow setting repeat mode with `Intent` arguments from command line ([#1266](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1266)). * Use `HttpEngineDataSource` as the `HttpDataSource` when supported by the device. * Remove deprecated symbols: * Remove `CronetDataSourceFactory`. Use `CronetDataSource.Factory` instead. * Remove some `DataSpec` constructors. Use `DataSpec.Builder` instead. * Remove `setContentTypePredicate(Predicate)` method from `DefaultHttpDataSource`, `OkHttpDataSource` and `CronetDataSource`. Use the equivalent method on each `XXXDataSource.Factory` instead. * Remove `OkHttpDataSource` constructors and `OkHttpDataSourceFactory`. Use `OkHttpDataSource.Factory` instead. * Remove `PlayerMessage.setHandler(Handler)`. Use `setLooper(Looper)` instead. * Remove `Timeline.Window.isLive` field. Use the `isLive()` method instead. * Remove `DefaultHttpDataSource` constructors. Use `DefaultHttpDataSource.Factory` instead. * Remove `DashMediaSource.DEFAULT_LIVE_PRESENTATION_DELAY_MS`. Use `DashMediaSource.DEFAULT_FALLBACK_TARGET_LIVE_OFFSET_MS` instead. * Remove `MediaCodecInfo.isSeamlessAdaptationSupported(Format, Format, boolean)`. Use `MediaCodecInfo.canReuseCodec(Format, Format)` instead. * Remove `DrmSessionManager.DUMMY` and `getDummyDrmSessionManager()` method. Use `DrmSessionManager.DRM_UNSUPPORTED` instead. * Remove `AnalyticsListener.onAudioInputFormatChanged(EventTime, Format)`, `AnalyticsListener.onVideoInputFormatChanged(EventTime, Format)`, `AudioRendererEventListener.onAudioInputFormatChanged(Format)`, `VideoRendererEventListener.onVideoInputFormatChanged(Format)`. Use the overloads that take a `DecoderReuseEvaluation` instead. * Remove `RendererSupport.FormatSupport` IntDef and `FORMAT_HANDLED`, `FORMAT_EXCEEDS_CAPABILITIES`, `FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED_DRM`, `FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED_SUBTYPE`, `FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED_TYPE` constants. Use the equivalent IntDef and constants in `androidx.media3.common.C` instead (e.g. `C.FORMAT_HANDLED`). * Remove `Bundleable` interface. This includes removing all `Bundleable.Creator CREATOR` constant fields. Callers should use the `Bundle toBundle()` and `static Foo fromBundle(Bundle)` methods on each type instead. ### 1.4.0-rc01 (2024-07-11) Use the 1.4.0 [stable version](#140-2024-07-24). ### 1.4.0-beta01 (2024-06-21) Use the 1.4.0 [stable version](#140-2024-07-24). ### 1.4.0-alpha02 (2024-06-06) Use the 1.4.0 [stable version](#140-2024-07-24). ### 1.4.0-alpha01 (2024-04-11) Use the 1.4.0 [stable version](#140-2024-07-24). ## 1.3 ### 1.3.1 (2024-04-11) This release includes the following changes since the [1.3.0 release](#130-2024-03-06): * Common Library: * Add `Format.labels` to allow localized or other alternative labels. * ExoPlayer: * Fix issue where `PreloadMediaPeriod` cannot retain the streams when it is preloaded again. * Apply the correct corresponding `TrackSelectionResult` to the playing period in track reselection. * Start early-enabled renderers only after advancing the playing period when transitioning between media items ([#1017](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1017)). * Add missing return type to proguard `-keepclasseswithmembers` rule for `DefaultVideoFrameProcessor.Factory.Builder.build()` ([#1187](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1187)). * Transformer: * Add workaround for exception thrown due to `MediaMuxer` not supporting negative presentation timestamps before API 30. * Track Selection: * `DefaultTrackSelector`: Prefer video tracks with a 'reasonable' frame rate (>=10fps) over those with a lower or unset frame rate. This ensures the player selects the 'real' video track in MP4s extracted from motion photos that can contain two HEVC tracks where one has a higher resolution but a very small number of frames ([#1051](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1051)). * Extractors: * Fix issue where padding was not skipped when reading odd-sized chunks from WAV files ([#1117](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1117)). * MP3: Populate `Format.averageBitrate` from metadata frames such as `XING` and `VBRI`. * MPEG-TS: Revert a change that aimed to ensure the last frame is rendered by passing the last access unit of a stream to the sample queue ([#7909](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7909)). This is due to the change causing new problems with I-frame only HLS streams ([#1150](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1150)) and H.262 HLS streams ([#1126](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1126)). * Audio: * Allow renderer recovery by disabling offload if audio track fails to initialize in offload mode. * For offloaded playback, use the `AudioTrack.StreamEventCallback` method `onPresentationEnded` to identify when all pending data has been played. * Video: * Add workaround for a device issue on Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Chromecast with Google TV, and Lenovo M10 FHD Plus that causes 60fps H265 streams to be marked as unsupported * Add workaround that ensures the first frame is always rendered while tunneling even if the device does not do this automatically as required by the API ([#1169](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1169)). ([#966](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/966)). * Fix issue where HDR color info handling causes codec misbehavior and prevents adaptive format switches for SDR video tracks ([#1158](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1158)). * Text: * WebVTT: Prevent directly consecutive cues from creating spurious additional `CuesWithTiming` instances from `WebvttParser.parse` ([#1177](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1177)). * DRM: * Work around a `NoSuchMethodError` which can be thrown by the `MediaDrm` framework instead of `ResourceBusyException` or `NotProvisionedException` on some Android 14 devices ([#1145](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1145)). * Effect: * Improved PQ to SDR tone-mapping by converting color spaces. * Session: * Fix issue where the current position jumps back when the controller replaces the current item ([#951](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/951)). * Fix issue where `MediaMetadata` with just non-null `extras` is not transmitted between media controllers and sessions ([#1176](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1176)). * UI: * Fallback to include audio track language name if `Locale` cannot identify a display name ([#988](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/988)). * DASH extension: * Populate all `Label` elements from the manifest into `Format.labels` ([#1054](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1054)). * RTSP extension: * Skip empty session information values (i-tags) in SDP parsing ([#1087](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1087)). * Decoder extensions (FFmpeg, VP9, AV1, MIDI, etc.): * Disable the MIDI extension as a local dependency by default because it requires an additional Maven repository to be configured. Users who need this module from a local dependency [can re-enable it](https://github.com/androidx/media/blob/main/README.md#midi-module). ### 1.3.0 (2024-03-06) This release includes the following changes since the [1.2.1 release](#121-2024-01-09): * Common Library: * Implement support for `android.resource://package/[type/]name` raw resource URIs where `package` is different to the package of the current application. This has always been documented to work, but wasn't correctly implemented until now. * Normalize MIME types set by app code or read from media to be fully lower-case. * Define ads with a full `MediaItem` instead of a single `Uri` in `AdPlaybackState`. * Increase `minSdk` to 19 (Android KitKat). This is [aligned with all other AndroidX libraries](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2023/10/androidx-minsdkversion-19.html), and is required for us to upgrade to the latest versions of our AndroidX dependencies. * Populate both `artworkUri` and `artworkData` in `MediaMetadata.Builder.populate(MediaMetadata)` when at least one of them is non-null ([#964](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/964)). * ExoPlayer: * Add `PreloadMediaSource` and `PreloadMediaPeriod` that allows apps to preload a content media source at a specific start position before playback. `PreloadMediaSource` takes care of preparing the content media source to receive the `Timeline`, preparing and caching the period at the given start position, selecting tracks and loading media data for the period. Apps control the preload progress by implementing `PreloadMediaSource.PreloadControl` and set the preloaded source to the player for playback. * Add `ExoPlayer.setImageOutput` that allows apps to set `ImageRenderer.ImageOutput`. * `DefaultRenderersFactory` now provides an `ImageRenderer` to the player by default with null `ImageOutput` and `ImageDecoder.Factory.DEFAULT`. * Emit `Player.Listener.onPositionDiscontinuity` event when silence is skipped ([#765](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/765)). * Add experimental support for parsing subtitles during extraction. You can enable this using `MediaSource.Factory.experimentalParseSubtitlesDuringExtraction()`. * Support adaptive media sources with `PreloadMediaSource`. * Implement `HttpEngineDataSource`, an `HttpDataSource` using the [HttpEngine](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/http/HttpEngine) API. * Prevent subclassing `CompositeSequenceableLoader`. This component was [previously made extensible](https://github.com/androidx/media/commit/0de57cbfae7165dd3bb829e323d089cd312b4b1b) but was never subclassed within the library. Customizations can be done by wrapping an instance using the [decorator pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern) and implementing a custom `CompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory`. * Fix issue where repeating the same time causes metadata from this item to be cleared ([#1007](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1007)). * Rename `experimentalSetSubtitleParserFactory` methods on `BundledChunkExtractor.Factory` and `DefaultHlsExtractorFactory` to `setSubtitleParserFactory` and disallow passing `null`. Use the new `experimentalParseSubtitlesDuringExtraction(boolean)` methods to control parsing behaviour. * Add support for customising the `SubtitleParser.Factory` used during extraction. This can be achieved with `MediaSource.Factory.setSubtitleParserFactory()`. * Add source prefix to all `Format.id` fields generated from `MergingMediaSource`. This helps to identify which source produced a `Format` ([#883](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/883)). * Fix the regex used for validating custom Common Media Client Data (CMCD) key names by modifying it to only check for hyphen ([#1028](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1028)). * Stop double-encoding CMCD query parameters ([#1075](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1075)). * Transformer: * Add support for flattening H.265/HEVC SEF slow motion videos. * Increase transmuxing speed, especially for 'remove video' edits. * Add API to ensure that the output file starts on a video frame. This can make the output of trimming operations more compatible with player implementations that don't show the first video frame until its presentation timestamp ([#829](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/829)). * Add support for optimizing single asset mp4 trim operations. * Add support to ensure a video frame has the first timestamp in the output file. Fixes output files beginning with black frame on iOS based players ([#829](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/829)). * Track Selection: * Add `DefaultTrackSelector.selectImageTrack` to enable image track selection. * Add `TrackSelectionParameters.isPrioritizeImageOverVideoEnabled` to determine whether to select an image track if both an image track and a video track are available. The default value is `false` which means selecting a video track is prioritized. * Extractors: * Add additional AV1C parsing to MP4 extractor to retrieve `ColorInfo.colorSpace`, `ColorInfo.colorTransfer`, and `ColorInfo.colorRange` values ([#692](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/692)). * MP3: Use constant bitrate (CBR) seeking for files with an `Info` header (the CBR equivalent of the `Xing` header). Previously we used the seek table from the `Info` header, but this results in less precise seeking than if we ignore it and assume the file is CBR. * MPEG2-TS: Add DTS, DTS-LBR and DTS:X Profile2 support ([#275](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/275)). * Extract audio types from TS descriptors and map them to role flags, allowing users to make better-informed audio track selections ([#973](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/973)). * Audio: * Improve silence skipping algorithm with smooth volume ramp; retained minimal silence and more natural silence durations ([#7423](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7423)). * Report the skipped silence more deterministically ([#1035](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1035)). * Video: * Change the `MediaCodecVideoRenderer` constructor that takes a `VideoFrameProcessor.Factory` argument and replace it with a constructor that takes a `VideoSinkProvider` argument. Apps that want to inject a custom `VideoFrameProcessor.Factory` can instantiate a `CompositingVideoSinkProvider` that uses the custom `VideoFrameProcessor.Factory` and pass the video sink provider to `MediaCodecVideoRenderer`. * Text: * Fix serialization of bitmap cues to resolve `Tried to marshall a Parcel that contained Binder objects` error when using `DefaultExtractorsFactory.setTextTrackTranscodingEnabled` ([#836](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/836)). * CEA-708: Ignore `rowLock` value. The CEA-708-E S-2023 spec states that `rowLock` and `columnLock` should both be assumed to be true, regardless of the values present in the stream (`columnLock` support is not implemented, so it's effectively assumed to always be false). * Image: * Add support for DASH thumbnails. Grid images are cropped and individual thumbnails are provided to `ImageOutput` close to their presentation times. * DRM: * Play 'clear lead' unencrypted samples in DRM content immediately by default, even if the keys for the later encrypted samples aren't ready yet. This may lead to mid-playback stalls if the keys still aren't ready when the playback position reaches the encrypted samples (but previously playback wouldn't have started at all by this point). This behavior can be disabled with [`MediaItem.DrmConfiguration.Builder.setPlayClearContentWithoutKey`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/media3/common/MediaItem.DrmConfiguration.Builder#setPlayClearContentWithoutKey\(boolean\)) or [`DefaultDrmSessionManager.Builder.setPlayClearSamplesWithoutKeys`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/media3/exoplayer/drm/DefaultDrmSessionManager.Builder#setPlayClearSamplesWithoutKeys\(boolean\)). * IMA extension: * Fix issue where DASH and HLS ads without the appropriate file extension can't be played. * Session: * Disable double-click detection for TV apps ([#962](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/962)). * Fix issue where `MediaItem.RequestMetadata` with just non-null extras is not transmitted between media controllers and sessions. * Add constructor to `MediaLibrarySession.Builder` that only takes a `Context` instead of a `MediaLibraryService`. * HLS extension: * Reduce `HlsMediaPeriod` to package-private visibility. This type shouldn't be directly depended on from outside the HLS package. * Resolve seeks to beginning of a segment more efficiently ([#1031](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/1031)). * Decoder extensions (FFmpeg, VP9, AV1, MIDI, etc.): * MIDI decoder: Ignore SysEx event messages ([#710](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/710)). * Test Utilities: * Don't pause playback in `TestPlayerRunHelper.playUntilPosition`. The test keeps the playback in a playing state, but suspends progress until the test is able to add assertions and further actions. * Demo app: * Add a shortform demo module to demo the usage of `PreloadMediaSource` with the short-form content use case. ### 1.3.0-rc01 (2024-02-22) Use the 1.3.0 [stable version](#130-2024-03-06). ### 1.3.0-beta01 (2024-02-07) Use the 1.3.0 [stable version](#130-2024-03-06). ### 1.3.0-alpha01 (2024-01-15) Use the 1.3.0 [stable version](#130-2024-03-06). ## 1.2 ### 1.2.1 (2024-01-09) This release includes the following changes since the [1.2.0 release](#120-2023-11-15): * ExoPlayer: * Fix issue where manual seeks outside of the `LiveConfiguration.min/maxOffset` range keep adjusting the offset back to `min/maxOffset`. * Fix issue that OPUS and VORBIS channel layouts are wrong for 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 channels ([#8396](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8396)). * Fix issue where track selections after seek to zero in a live stream incorrectly let the stream start at its default position ([#9347](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9347)). * Fix the issue where new instances of `CmcdData.Factory` were receiving negative values for `bufferedDurationUs` from chunk sources, resulting in an `IllegalArgumentException` ([#888](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/888)). * Transformer: * Work around an issue where the encoder would throw at configuration time due to setting a high operating rate. * Extractors: * Mark secondary (unplayable) HEVC tracks in JPEG motion photos as `ROLE_FLAG_ALTERNATE` to prevent them being automatically selected for playback because of their higher resolution. * Fix wrong keyframe detection for TS H264 streams ([#864](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/864)). * Fix duration estimation of TS streams that are longer than 47721 seconds ([#855](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/855)). * Audio: * Fix handling of EOS for `SilenceSkippingAudioProcessor` when called multiple times ([#712](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/712)). * Video: * Add workaround for a device issue on Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Chromecast with Google TV, and Lenovo M10 FHD Plus that causes 60fps AVC streams to be marked as unsupported ([#693](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/693)). * Metadata: * Fix bug where `MediaMetadata` was only populated from Vorbis comments with upper-case keys ([#876](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/876)). * Catch `OutOfMemoryError` when parsing very large ID3 frames, meaning playback can continue without the tag info instead of playback failing completely. * DRM: * Extend workaround for spurious ClearKey `https://default.url` license URL to API 33+ (previously the workaround only applied on API 33 exactly) ([#837](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/837)). * Fix `ERROR_DRM_SESSION_NOT_OPENED` when switching from encrypted to clear content without a surface attached to the player. The error was due to incorrectly using a secure decoder to play the clear content. * Session: * Put the custom keys and values in `MediaMetadataCompat` to `MediaMetadata.extras` and `MediaMetadata.extras` to `MediaMetadataCompat` ([#756](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/756), [#802](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/802)). * Fix broadcasting `notifyChildrenChanged` for legacy controllers ([#644](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/644)). * Fix a bug where setting a negative time for a disabled `setWhen` timer of the notification caused a crash on some devices ([#903](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/903)). * Fix `IllegalStateException` when the media notification controller hasn't completed connecting when the first notification update is requested ([#917](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/917)). * UI: * Fix issue where forward and rewind buttons are not visible when used with Material Design in a BottomSheetDialogFragment ([#511](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/511)). * Fix issue where the numbers in the fast forward button of the `PlayerControlView` were misaligned ([#547](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/547)). * DASH extension: * Parse "f800" as channel count of 5 for Dolby in DASH manifest ([#688](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/688)). * Decoder extensions (FFmpeg, VP9, AV1, MIDI, etc.): * MIDI: Fix issue where seeking forward skips the Program Change events ([#704](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/704)). * Migrate to FFmpeg 6.0 and update supported NDK to `r26b` ([#707](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/707), [#867](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/867)). * Cast extension: * Sanitize creation of a `Timeline` to not crash the app when loading media fails on the cast device ([#708](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/708)). ### 1.2.0 (2023-11-15) This release includes the following changes since the [1.1.1 release](#111-2023-08-14): * Common Library: * Add a `@Nullable Throwable` parameter to the methods in the `Log.Logger` interface. The `message` parameter to these methods no longer contains any information about the `Throwable` passed to the `Log.{d,i,w,e}()` methods, so implementations will need to manually append this information if desired (possibly using `Logger.appendThrowableString(String, Throwable)`). * Fix Kotlin compatibility issue where nullable generic type parameters and nullable array element types are not detected as nullable. Examples are `TrackSelectorResult` and `SimpleDecoder` method parameters ([#6792](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6792)). * Change default UI and notification behavior in `Util.shouldShowPlayButton` to show a "play" button while playback is temporarily suppressed (e.g. due to transient audio focus loss). The legacy behavior can be maintained by using `PlayerView.setShowPlayButtonIfPlaybackIsSuppressed(false)` or `MediaSession.Builder.setShowPlayButtonIfPlaybackIsSuppressed(false)` ([#11213](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/11213)). * Upgrade `androidx.annotation:annotation-experimental` to `1.3.1` to fix https://issuetracker.google.com/251172715. * Move `ExoPlayer.setAudioAttributes` to the `Player` interface. * ExoPlayer: * Fix seeking issues in AC4 streams caused by not identifying decode-only samples correctly ([#11000](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/11000)). * Add suppression of playback on unsuitable audio output devices (e.g. the built-in speaker on Wear OS devices) when this feature is enabled via `ExoPlayer.Builder.setSuppressPlaybackOnUnsuitableOutput`. The playback suppression reason will be updated as `Player.PLAYBACK_SUPPRESSION_REASON_UNSUITABLE_AUDIO_OUTPUT` if playback is attempted when no suitable audio outputs are available, or if all suitable outputs are disconnected during playback. The suppression reason will be removed when a suitable output is connected. * Add `MediaSource.canUpdateMediaItem` and `MediaSource.updateMediaItem` to accept `MediaItem` updates after creation via `Player.replaceMediaItem(s)`. * Allow `MediaItem` updates for all `MediaSource` classes provided by the library via `Player.replaceMediaItem(s)` ([#33](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/33), [#9978](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9978)). * Rename `MimeTypes.TEXT_EXOPLAYER_CUES` to `MimeTypes.APPLICATION_MEDIA3_CUES`. * Add `PngExtractor` that sends and reads a whole PNG file into the `TrackOutput` as one sample. * Enhance `SequenceableLoader.continueLoading(long)` method in the `SequenceableLoader` interface to `SequenceableLoader.continueLoading(LoadingInfo loadingInfo)`. `LoadingInfo` contains additional parameters, including `playbackSpeed` and `lastRebufferRealtimeMs` in addition to the existing `playbackPositionUs`. * Enhance `ChunkSource.getNextChunk(long, long, List, ChunkHolder)` method in the `ChunkSource` interface to `ChunkSource.getNextChunk(LoadingInfo, long, List, ChunkHolder)`. * Add additional fields to Common Media Client Data (CMCD) logging: buffer starvation (`bs`), deadline (`dl`), playback rate (`pr`) and startup (`su`) ([#8699](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8699)). * Add luma and chroma bitdepth to `ColorInfo` ([#491](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/491)). * Add additional fields to Common Media Client Data (CMCD) logging: next object request (`nor`) and next range request (`nrr`) ([#8699](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8699)). * Add functionality to transmit Common Media Client Data (CMCD) data using query parameters ([#553](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/553)). * Fix `ConcurrentModificationException` in `ExperimentalBandwidthMeter` ([#612](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/612)). * Add `MediaPeriodId` parameter to `CompositeMediaSource.getMediaTimeForChildMediaTime`. * Support `ClippingMediaSource` (and other sources with period/window time offsets) in `ConcatenatingMediaSource2` ([#11226](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/11226)). * Change `BaseRenderer.onStreamChanged()` to also receive a `MediaPeriodId` argument. * Transformer: * Parse EXIF rotation data for image inputs. * Remove `TransformationRequest.HdrMode` annotation type and its associated constants. Use `Composition.HdrMode` and its associated constants instead. * Simplify the `OverlaySettings` to fix rotation issues. * Changed `frameRate` and `durationUs` parameters of `SampleConsumer.queueInputBitmap` to `TimestampIterator`. * Track Selection: * Add `DefaultTrackSelector.Parameters.allowAudioNonSeamlessAdaptiveness` to explicitly allow or disallow non-seamless adaptation. The default stays at its current behavior of `true`. * Extractors: * MPEG-TS: Ensure the last frame is rendered by passing the last access unit of a stream to the sample queue ([#7909](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7909)). * Fix typo when determining `rotationDegrees`. Changed `projectionPosePitch` to `projectionPoseRoll` ([#461](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/461)). * Remove the assumption that `Extractor` instances can be directly inspected with `instanceof`. If you want runtime access to the implementation details of an `Extractor` you must first call `Extractor.getUnderlyingInstance`. * Add `BmpExtractor`. * Add `WebpExtractor`. * Add `HeifExtractor`. * Add [QuickTime classic](https://developer.apple.com/standards/qtff-2001.pdf) support to `Mp4Extractor`. * Audio: * Add support for 24/32-bit big-endian PCM in MP4 and Matroska, and parse PCM encoding for `lpcm` in MP4. * Add support for extracting Vorbis audio in MP4. * Add `AudioSink.getFormatOffloadSupport(Format)` that retrieves level of offload support the sink can provide for the format through a `DefaultAudioOffloadSupportProvider`. It returns the new `AudioOffloadSupport` that contains `isFormatSupported`, `isGaplessSupported`, and `isSpeedChangeSupported`. * Add `AudioSink.setOffloadMode()` through which the offload configuration on the audio sink is configured. Default is `AudioSink.OFFLOAD_MODE_DISABLED`. * Offload can be enabled through `setAudioOffloadPreference` in `TrackSelectionParameters`. If the set preference is to enable, the device supports offload for the format, and the track selection is a single audio track, then audio offload will be enabled. * If `audioOffloadModePreference` is set to `AUDIO_OFFLOAD_MODE_PREFERENCE_REQUIRED`, then the `DefaultTrackSelector` will only select an audio track and only if that track's format is supported in offload. If no audio track is supported in offload, then no track will be selected. * Disabling gapless support for offload when pre-API level 33 due to playback position issue after track transition. * Remove parameter `enableOffload` from `DefaultRenderersFactory.buildAudioSink` method signature. * Remove method `DefaultAudioSink.Builder.setOffloadMode`. * Remove intdef value `DefaultAudioSink.OffloadMode.OFFLOAD_MODE_ENABLED_GAPLESS_DISABLED`. * Add support for Opus gapless metadata during offload playback. * Allow renderer recovery by disabling offload if failed at first write ([#627](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/627)). * Enable Offload Scheduling by default for audio-only offloaded playback. * Delete `ExoPlayer.experimentalSetOffloadSchedulingEnabled` and `AudioOffloadListener.onExperimentalOffloadSchedulingEnabledChanged`. * Renamed `onExperimentalSleepingForOffloadChanged` as `onSleepingForOffloadChanged` and `onExperimentalOffloadedPlayback` as `onOffloadedPlayback`. * Move audio offload mode related `TrackSelectionParameters` interfaces and definitions to an inner `AudioOffloadPreferences` class. * Add `onAudioTrackInitialized` and `onAudioTrackReleased` callbacks to `AnalyticsListener`, `AudioRendererEventListener` and `AudioSink.Listener`. * Fix DTS Express audio buffer underflow issue ([#650](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/650)). * Fix bug where the capabilities check for E-AC3-JOC throws an `IllegalArgumentException` ([#677](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/677)). * Video: * Allow `MediaCodecVideoRenderer` to use a custom `VideoFrameProcessor.Factory`. * Fix bug where the first frame couldn't be rendered if the audio stream starts with negative timestamps ([#291](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/291)). * Text: * Remove `ExoplayerCuesDecoder`. Text tracks with `sampleMimeType = application/x-media3-cues` are now directly handled by `TextRenderer` without needing a `SubtitleDecoder` instance. * Metadata: * `MetadataDecoder.decode` will no longer be called for "decode-only" samples as the implementation must return null anyway. * Effect: * Add `VideoFrameProcessor.queueInputBitmap(Bitmap, Iterator)` queuing bitmap input by timestamp. * Change `VideoFrameProcessor.registerInputStream()` to be non-blocking. Apps must implement `VideoFrameProcessor.Listener#onInputStreamRegistered()`. * Changed `frameRate` and `durationUs` parameters of `VideoFrameProcessor.queueInputBitmap` to `TimestampIterator`. * IMA extension: * Fix bug where a multi-period DASH live stream that is not the first item in a playlist can throw an exception ([#571](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/571)). * Release StreamManager before calling `AdsLoader.destroy()` * Bump IMA SDK version to 3.31.0. * Session: * Set the notifications foreground service behavior to `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_IMMEDIATE` in `DefaultMediaNotificationProvider` ([#167](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/167)). * Use only `android.media.session.MediaSession.setMediaButtonBroadcastReceiver()` above API 31 to avoid problems with deprecated API on Samsung devices ([#167](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/167)). * Use the media notification controller as proxy to set available commands and custom layout used to populate the notification and the platform session. * Convert media button events that are received by `MediaSessionService.onStartCommand()` within Media3 instead of routing them to the platform session and back to Media3. With this, the caller controller is always the media notification controller and apps can easily recognize calls coming from the notification in the same way on all supported API levels. * Fix bug where `MediaController.getCurrentPosition()` is not advancing when connected to a legacy `MediaSessionCompat`. * Add `MediaLibrarySession.getSubscribedControllers(mediaId)` for convenience. * Override `MediaLibrarySession.Callback.onSubscribe()` to assert the availability of the parent ID for which the controller subscribes. If successful, the subscription is accepted and `notifyChildrenChanged()` is called immediately to inform the browser ([#561](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/561)). * Add session demo module for Automotive OS and enable session demo for Android Auto. * Do not set the queue of the framework session when `COMMAND_GET_TIMELINE` is not available for the media notification controller. With Android Auto as the client controller reading from the framework session, this has the effect that the `queue` button in the UI of Android Auto is not displayed ([#339](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/339)). * Use `DataSourceBitmapLoader` by default instead of `SimpleBitmapLoader` ([#271](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/271), [#327](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/327)). * Add `MediaSession.Callback.onMediaButtonEvent(Intent)` that allows apps to override the default media button event handling. * UI: * Add a `Player.Listener` implementation for Wear OS devices that handles playback suppression due to `Player.PLAYBACK_SUPPRESSION_REASON_UNSUITABLE_AUDIO_OUTPUT` by launching a system dialog to allow a user to connect a suitable audio output (e.g. bluetooth headphones). The listener will auto-resume playback if a suitable device is connected within a configurable timeout (default is 5 minutes). * Downloads: * Declare "data sync" foreground service type for `DownloadService` for Android 14 compatibility. When using this service, the app also needs to add `dataSync` as `foregroundServiceType` in the manifest and add the `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC` permission ([#11239](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/11239)). * HLS extension: * Refresh the HLS live playlist with an interval calculated from the last load start time rather than the last load completed time ([#663](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/663)). * DASH extension: * Allow multiple of the same DASH identifier in segment template url. * Add experimental support for parsing subtitles during extraction. This has better support for merging overlapping subtitles, including resolving flickering when transitioning between subtitle segments. You can enable this using `DashMediaSource.Factory.experimentalParseSubtitlesDuringExtraction()` ([#288](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/288)). * RTSP extension: * Fix a race condition that could lead to `IndexOutOfBoundsException` when falling back to TCP, or playback hanging in some situations. * Check state in RTSP setup when returning loading state of `RtspMediaPeriod` ([#577](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/577)). * Ignore custom Rtsp request methods in Options response public header ([#613](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/613)). * Use RTSP Setup Response timeout value in time interval of sending keep-alive RTSP Options requests ([#662](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/662)). * Decoder extensions (FFmpeg, VP9, AV1, MIDI, etc.): * Release the MIDI decoder module, which provides support for playback of standard MIDI files using the Jsyn library to synthesize audio. * Add `DecoderOutputBuffer.shouldBeSkipped` to directly mark output buffers that don't need to be presented. This is preferred over `C.BUFFER_FLAG_DECODE_ONLY` that will be deprecated. * Add `Decoder.setOutputStartTimeUs` and `SimpleDecoder.isAtLeastOutputStartTimeUs` to allow decoders to drop decode-only samples before the start time. This should be preferred to `Buffer.isDecodeOnly` that will be deprecated. * Fix bug publishing MIDI decoder artifact to Maven repository. The artifact is renamed to `media3-exoplayer-midi` ([#734](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/734)). * Leanback extension: * Fix bug where disabling a surface can cause an `ArithmeticException` in Leanback code ([#617](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/617)). * Test Utilities: * Make `TestExoPlayerBuilder` and `FakeClock` compatible with Espresso UI tests and Compose UI tests. This fixes a bug where playback advances non-deterministically during Espresso or Compose view interactions. * Remove deprecated symbols: * Remove `TransformationRequest.Builder.setEnableRequestSdrToneMapping(boolean)` and `TransformationRequest.Builder.experimental_setEnableHdrEditing(boolean)`. Use `Composition.Builder.setHdrMode(int)` and pass the `Composition` to `Transformer.start(Composition, String)` instead. * Remove deprecated `DownloadNotificationHelper.buildProgressNotification` method, use a non deprecated method that takes a `notMetRequirements` parameter instead. ### 1.2.0-rc01 (2023-11-01) Use the 1.2.0 [stable version](#120-2023-11-15). ### 1.2.0-beta01 (2023-10-18) Use the 1.2.0 [stable version](#120-2023-11-15). ### 1.2.0-alpha02 (2023-09-29) Use the 1.2.0 [stable version](#120-2023-11-15). ### 1.2.0-alpha01 (2023-08-17) Use the 1.2.0 [stable version](#120-2023-11-15). ## 1.1 ### 1.1.1 (2023-08-14) This release corresponds to the [ExoPlayer 2.19.1 release](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/releases/tag/r2.19.1). This release includes the following changes since the [1.1.0 release](#110-2023-07-05): * Common Library: * Remove accidentally added `multidex` dependency from all modules ([#499](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/499)). * ExoPlayer: * Fix issue in `PlaybackStatsListener` where spurious `PlaybackStats` are created after the playlist is cleared. * Add additional fields to Common Media Client Data (CMCD) logging: streaming format (sf), stream type (st), version (v), top birate (tb), object duration (d), measured throughput (mtp) and object type (ot) ([#8699](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8699)). * Audio: * Fix a bug where `Player.getState()` never transitioned to `STATE_ENDED` when playing very short files ([#538](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/538)). * Audio Offload: * Prepend Ogg ID Header and Comment Header Pages to bitstream for offloaded Opus playback in accordance with RFC 7845. * Video: * H.265/HEVC: Fix parsing SPS short and long term reference picture info. * Text: * CEA-608: Change cue truncation logic to only consider visible text. Previously indent and tab offset were included when limiting the cue length to 32 characters (which was technically correct by the spec) ([#11019](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/11019)). * IMA extension: * Bump IMA SDK version to 3.30.3. * Session: * Add custom layout to the state of the controller and provide a getter to access it. When the custom layout changes, `MediaController.Listener.onCustomLayoutChanged` is called. Apps that want to send different custom layouts to different Media3 controller can do this in `MediaSession.Callback.onConnect` by using an `AcceptedResultBuilder` to make sure the custom layout is available to the controller when connection completes. * Fix cases where `MediaLibraryServiceLegacyStub` sent an error to a `Result` that didn't support this which produced an `UnsupportedOperationException` ([#78](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/78)). * Fix the way `PlayerWrapper` creates a `VolumeProviderCompat` by determining `volumeControlType` through both legacy commands (`COMMAND_ADJUST_DEVICE_VOLUME` and `COMMAND_SET_DEVICE_VOLUME`) and new commands (`COMMAND_ADJUST_DEVICE_VOLUME_WITH_FLAGS` and `COMMAND_SET_DEVICE_VOLUME_WITH_FLAGS`) ([#554](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/554)). ### 1.1.0 (2023-07-05) This release corresponds to the [ExoPlayer 2.19.0 release](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/releases/tag/r2.19.0). This release contains the following changes since the [1.0.2 release](#102-2023-05-18): * Common Library: * Add suppression reason for unsuitable audio route and play when ready change reason for suppressed too long. ([#15](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/15)). * Add commands to Player: * `COMMAND_GET_METADATA` * `COMMAND_SET_PLAYLIST_METADATA` * `COMMAND_SET_DEVICE_VOLUME_WITH_FLAGS` * `COMMAND_ADJUST_DEVICE_VOLUME_WITH_FLAGS` * Add overloaded methods to Player which allow users to specify volume flags: * `void setDeviceVolume(int, int)` * `void increaseDeviceVolume(int)` * `void decreaseDeviceVolume(int)` * `void setDeviceMuted(boolean, int)` * Add `Builder` for `DeviceInfo` and deprecate existing constructor. * Add `DeviceInfo.routingControllerId` to specify the routing controller ID for remote playbacks. * Add `Player.replaceMediaItem(s)` as a shortcut to adding and removing items at the same position ([#8046](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8046)). * ExoPlayer: * Allow ExoPlayer to have control of device volume methods only if explicitly opted in. Use `ExoPlayer.Builder.setDeviceVolumeControlEnabled` to have access to: * `getDeviceVolume()` * `isDeviceMuted()` * `setDeviceVolume(int)` and `setDeviceVolume(int, int)` * `increaseDeviceVolume(int)` and `increaseDeviceVolume(int, int)` * `decreaseDeviceVolume(int)` and `decreaseDeviceVolume(int, int)` * Add `FilteringMediaSource` that allows to filter available track types from a `MediaSource`. * Add support for including Common Media Client Data (CMCD) in the outgoing requests of adaptive streaming formats DASH, HLS, and SmoothStreaming. The following fields, `br`, `bl`, `cid`, `rtp`, and `sid`, have been incorporated ([#8699](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8699)). API structure and API methods: * CMCD logging is disabled by default, use `MediaSource.Factory.setCmcdConfigurationFactory(CmcdConfiguration.Factory cmcdConfigurationFactory)` to enable it. * All keys are enabled by default, override `CmcdConfiguration.RequestConfig.isKeyAllowed(String key)` to filter out which keys are logged. * Override `CmcdConfiguration.RequestConfig.getCustomData()` to enable custom key logging. * Add additional action to manifest of main demo to make it easier to start the demo app with a custom `*.exolist.json` file ([#439](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/439)). * Add `ExoPlayer.setVideoEffects()` for using `Effect` during video playback. * Update `SampleQueue` to store `sourceId` as a `long` rather than an `int`. This changes the signatures of public methods `SampleQueue.sourceId` and `SampleQueue.peekSourceId`. * Add parameters to `LoadControl` methods `shouldStartPlayback` and `onTracksSelected` that allow associating these methods with the relevant `MediaPeriod`. * Change signature of `ServerSideAdInsertionMediaSource.setAdPlaybackStates(Map)` by adding a timeline parameter that contains the periods with the UIDs used as keys in the map. This is required to avoid concurrency issues with multi-period live streams. * Deprecate `EventDispatcher.withParameters(int windowIndex, @Nullable MediaPeriodId mediaPeriodId, long mediaTimeOffsetMs)` and `BaseMediaSource.createEventDispatcher(..., long mediaTimeOffsetMs)`. The variant of the methods without the `mediaTimeOffsetUs` can be called instead. Note that even for the deprecated variants, the offset is not anymore added to `startTimeUs` and `endTimeUs` of the `MediaLoadData` objects that are dispatched by the dispatcher. * Rename `ExoTrackSelection.blacklist` to `excludeTrack` and `isBlacklisted` to `isTrackExcluded`. * Fix inconsistent behavior between `ExoPlayer.setMediaItem(s)` and `addMediaItem(s)` when called on an empty playlist. * Transformer: * Remove `Transformer.Builder.setMediaSourceFactory(MediaSource.Factory)`. Use `ExoPlayerAssetLoader.Factory(MediaSource.Factory)` and `Transformer.Builder.setAssetLoaderFactory(AssetLoader.Factory)` instead. * Remove `Transformer.startTransformation(MediaItem, ParcelFileDescriptor)`. * Fix a bug where transformation could get stuck (leading to muxer timeout) if the end of the video stream was signaled at the moment when an input frame was pending processing. * Query codecs via `MediaCodecList` instead of using `findDecoder/EncoderForFormat` utilities, to expand support. * Remove B-frame configuration in `DefaultEncoderFactory` because it doesn't work on some devices. * Track selection: * Add `DefaultTrackSelector.Parameters.allowInvalidateSelectionsForRendererCapabilitiesChange` which is disabled by default. When enabled, the `DefaultTrackSelector` will trigger a new track selection when the renderer capabilities changed. * Extractors: * Ogg: Fix bug when seeking in files with a long duration ([#391](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/391)). * FMP4: Fix issue where `TimestampAdjuster` initializes a wrong timestamp offset with metadata sample time from emsg atom ([#356](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/356)). * Audio: * Fix bug where some playbacks fail when tunneling is enabled and `AudioProcessors` are active, e.g. for gapless trimming ([#10847](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10847)). * Encapsulate Opus frames in Ogg packets in direct playbacks (offload). * Extrapolate current position during sleep with offload scheduling. * Add `Renderer.release()` and `AudioSink.release()` for releasing the resources at the end of player's lifecycle. * Listen to audio capabilities changes in `DefaultAudioSink`. Add a required parameter `context` in the constructor of `DefaultAudioSink`, with which the `DefaultAudioSink` will register as the listener to the `AudioCapabilitiesReceiver` and update its `audioCapabilities` property when informed with a capabilities change. * Propagate audio capabilities changes via a new event `onAudioCapabilitiesChanged` in `AudioSink.Listener` interface, and a new interface `RendererCapabilities.Listener` which triggers `onRendererCapabilitiesChanged` events. * Add `ChannelMixingAudioProcessor` for applying scaling/mixing to audio channels. * Add new int value `DISCARD_REASON_AUDIO_BYPASS_POSSIBLE` to `DecoderDiscardReasons` to discard audio decoder when bypass mode is possible after audio capabilities change. * Add direct playback support for DTS Express and DTS:X ([#335](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/335)). * Video: * Make `MediaCodecVideoRenderer` report a `VideoSize` with a width and height of 0 when the renderer is disabled. `Player.Listener.onVideoSizeChanged` is called accordingly when `Player.getVideoSize()` changes. With this change, ExoPlayer's video size with `MediaCodecVideoRenderer` has a width and height of 0 when `Player.getCurrentTracks` does not support video, or the size of the supported video track is not yet determined. * DRM: * Reduce the visibility of several internal-only methods on `DefaultDrmSession` that aren't expected to be called from outside the DRM package: * `void onMediaDrmEvent(int)` * `void provision()` * `void onProvisionCompleted()` * `onProvisionError(Exception, boolean)` * Muxer: * Add a new muxer library which can be used to create an MP4 container file. * IMA extension: * Enable multi-period live DASH streams for DAI. Please note that the current implementation does not yet support seeking in live streams ([#10912](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10912)). * Fix a bug where a new ad group is inserted in live streams because the calculated content position in consecutive timelines varies slightly. * Session: * Add helper method `MediaSession.getControllerForCurrentRequest` to obtain information about the controller that is currently calling a`Player` method. * Add `androidx.media3.session.MediaButtonReceiver` to enable apps to implement playback resumption with media button events sent by, for example, a Bluetooth headset ([#167](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/167)). * Add default implementation to `MediaSession.Callback.onAddMediaItems` to allow requested `MediaItems` to be passed onto `Player` if they have `LocalConfiguration` (e.g. URI) ([#282](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/282)). * Add "seek to previous" and "seek to next" command buttons on compact media notification view by default for Android 12 and below ([#410](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/410)). * UI: * Add Util methods `shouldShowPlayButton` and `handlePlayPauseButtonAction` to write custom UI elements with a play/pause button. * RTSP extension: * For MPEG4-LATM, use default profile-level-id value if absent in Describe Response SDP message ([#302](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/302)). * Use base Uri for relative path resolution from the RTSP session if present in DESCRIBE response header ([#11160](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/11160)). * DASH extension: * Remove the media time offset from `MediaLoadData.startTimeMs` and `MediaLoadData.endTimeMs` for multi period DASH streams. * Fix a bug where re-preparing a multi-period live Dash media source produced a `IndexOutOfBoundsException` ([#10838](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10838)). * HLS extension: * Add `HlsMediaSource.Factory.setTimestampAdjusterInitializationTimeoutMs(long)` to set a timeout for the loading thread to wait for the `TimestampAdjuster` to initialize. If the initialization doesn't complete before the timeout, a `PlaybackException` is thrown to avoid the playback endless stalling. The timeout is set to zero by default ([#323](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues//323)). * Test Utilities: * Check for URI scheme case insensitivity in `DataSourceContractTest`. * Remove deprecated symbols: * Remove `DefaultAudioSink` constructors, use `DefaultAudioSink.Builder` instead. * Remove `HlsMasterPlaylist`, use `HlsMultivariantPlaylist` instead. * Remove `Player.stop(boolean)`. Use `Player.stop()` and `Player.clearMediaItems()` (if `reset` is `true`) instead. * Remove two deprecated `SimpleCache` constructors, use a non-deprecated constructor that takes a `DatabaseProvider` instead for better performance. * Remove `DefaultBandwidthMeter` constructor, use `DefaultBandwidthMeter.Builder` instead. * Remove `DefaultDrmSessionManager` constructors, use `DefaultDrmSessionManager.Builder` instead. * Remove two deprecated `HttpDataSource.InvalidResponseCodeException` constructors, use a non-deprecated constructor that accepts additional fields(`cause`, `responseBody`) to enhance error logging. * Remove `DownloadHelper.forProgressive`, `DownloadHelper.forHls`, `DownloadHelper.forDash`, and `DownloadHelper.forSmoothStreaming`, use `DownloadHelper.forMediaItem` instead. * Remove deprecated `DownloadService` constructor, use a non deprecated constructor that includes the option to provide a `channelDescriptionResourceId` parameter. * Remove deprecated String constants for Charsets (`ASCII_NAME`, `UTF8_NAME`, `ISO88591_NAME`, `UTF16_NAME` and `UTF16LE_NAME`), use Kotlin Charsets from the `kotlin.text` package, the `java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets` or the `com.google.common.base.Charsets` instead. * Remove deprecated `WorkManagerScheduler` constructor, use a non deprecated constructor that includes the option to provide a `Context` parameter instead. * Remove the deprecated methods `createVideoSampleFormat`, `createAudioSampleFormat`, `createContainerFormat`, and `createSampleFormat`, which were used to instantiate the `Format` class. Instead use `Format.Builder` for creating instances of `Format`. * Remove the deprecated methods `copyWithMaxInputSize`, `copyWithSubsampleOffsetUs`, `copyWithLabel`, `copyWithManifestFormatInfo`, `copyWithGaplessInfo`, `copyWithFrameRate`, `copyWithDrmInitData`, `copyWithMetadata`, `copyWithBitrate` and `copyWithVideoSize`, use `Format.buildUpon()` and setter methods instead. * Remove deprecated `ExoPlayer.retry()`, use `prepare()` instead. * Remove deprecated zero-arg `DefaultTrackSelector` constructor, use `DefaultTrackSelector(Context)` instead. * Remove deprecated `OfflineLicenseHelper` constructor, use `OfflineLicenseHelper(DefaultDrmSessionManager, DrmSessionEventListener.EventDispatcher)` instead. * Remove deprecated `DownloadManager` constructor, use the constructor that takes an `Executor` instead. * Remove deprecated `Cue` constructors, use `Cue.Builder` instead. * Remove deprecated `OfflineLicenseHelper` constructor, use `OfflineLicenseHelper(DefaultDrmSessionManager, DrmSessionEventListener.EventDispatcher)` instead. * Remove four deprecated `AnalyticsListener` methods: * `onDecoderEnabled`, use `onAudioEnabled` and/or `onVideoEnabled` instead. * `onDecoderInitialized`, use `onAudioDecoderInitialized` and/or `onVideoDecoderInitialized` instead. * `onDecoderInputFormatChanged`, use `onAudioInputFormatChanged` and/or `onVideoInputFormatChanged` instead. * `onDecoderDisabled`, use `onAudioDisabled` and/or `onVideoDisabled` instead. * Remove the deprecated `Player.Listener.onSeekProcessed` and `AnalyticsListener.onSeekProcessed`, use `onPositionDiscontinuity` with `DISCONTINUITY_REASON_SEEK` instead. * Remove `ExoPlayer.setHandleWakeLock(boolean)`, use `setWakeMode(int)` instead. * Remove deprecated `DefaultLoadControl.Builder.createDefaultLoadControl()`, use `build()` instead. * Remove deprecated `MediaItem.PlaybackProperties`, use `MediaItem.LocalConfiguration` instead.

([#134](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/134)). * Make `AudioTrackBufferSizeProvider` a public interface. * Add `ExoPlayer.setPreferredAudioDevice` to set the preferred audio output device ([#135](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/135)). * Rename `androidx.media3.exoplayer.audio.AudioProcessor` to `androidx.media3.common.audio.AudioProcessor`. * Map 8-channel and 12-channel audio to the 7.1 and 7.1.4 channel masks respectively on all Android versions ([#10701](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10701)). * Metadata: * `MetadataRenderer` can now be configured to render metadata as soon as they are available. Create an instance with `MetadataRenderer(MetadataOutput, Looper, MetadataDecoderFactory, boolean)` to specify whether the renderer will output metadata early or in sync with the player position. * DRM: * Work around a bug in the Android 13 ClearKey implementation that returns a non-empty but invalid license URL. * Fix `setMediaDrmSession failed: session not opened` error when switching between DRM schemes in a playlist (e.g. Widevine to ClearKey). * Text: * CEA-608: Ensure service switch commands on field 2 are handled correctly ([#10666](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10666)). * DASH: * Parse `EventStream.presentationTimeOffset` from manifests ([#10460](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10460)). * UI: * Use current overrides of the player as preset in `TrackSelectionDialogBuilder` ([#10429](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10429)). * Session: * Ensure commands are always executed in the correct order even if some require asynchronous resolution ([#85](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/85)). * Add `DefaultMediaNotificationProvider.Builder` to build `DefaultMediaNotificationProvider` instances. The builder can configure the notification ID, the notification channel ID and the notification channel name used by the provider. Also, add method `DefaultMediaNotificationProvider.setSmallIcon(int)` to set the notifications small icon. ([#104](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/104)). * Ensure commands sent before `MediaController.release()` are not dropped ([#99](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/99)). * `SimpleBitmapLoader` can load bitmap from `file://` URIs ([#108](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/108)). * Fix assertion that prevents `MediaController` to seek over an ad in a period ([#122](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/122)). * When playback ends, the `MediaSessionService` is stopped from the foreground and a notification is shown to restart playback of the last played media item ([#112](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/112)). * Don't start a foreground service with a pending intent for pause ([#167](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/167)). * Manually hide the 'badge' associated with the notification created by `DefaultNotificationProvider` on API 26 and API 27 (the badge is automatically hidden on API 28+) ([#131](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/131)). * Fix bug where a second binder connection from a legacy MediaSession to a Media3 MediaController causes IllegalStateExceptions ([#49](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/49)). * RTSP: * Add H263 fragmented packet handling ([#119](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/119)). * Add support for MP4A-LATM ([#162](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/162)). * IMA: * Add timeout for loading ad information to handle cases where the IMA SDK gets stuck loading an ad ([#10510](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10510)). * Prevent skipping mid-roll ads when seeking to the end of the content ([#10685](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10685)). * Correctly calculate window duration for live streams with server-side inserted ads, for example IMA DAI ([#10764](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10764)). * FFmpeg extension: * Add newly required flags to link FFmpeg libraries with NDK 23.1.7779620 and above ([#9933](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9933)). * AV1 extension: * Update CMake version to avoid incompatibilities with the latest Android Studio releases ([#9933](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9933)). * Cast extension: * Implement `getDeviceInfo()` to be able to identify `CastPlayer` when controlling playback with a `MediaController` ([#142](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/142)). * Transformer: * Add muxer watchdog timer to detect when generating an output sample is too slow. * Remove deprecated symbols: * Remove `Transformer.Builder.setOutputMimeType(String)`. This feature has been removed. The MIME type will always be MP4 when the default muxer is used. ### 1.0.0-beta02 (2022-07-21) This release corresponds to the [ExoPlayer 2.18.1 release](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/releases/tag/r2.18.1). * Core library: * Ensure that changing the `ShuffleOrder` with `ExoPlayer.setShuffleOrder` results in a call to `Player.Listener#onTimelineChanged` with `reason=Player.TIMELINE_CHANGE_REASON_PLAYLIST_CHANGED` ([#9889](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9889)). * For progressive media, only include selected tracks in buffered position ([#10361](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10361)). * Allow custom logger for all ExoPlayer log output ([#9752](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9752)). * Fix implementation of `setDataSourceFactory` in `DefaultMediaSourceFactory`, which was non-functional in some cases ([#116](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/116)). * Extractors: * Fix parsing of H265 short term reference picture sets ([#10316](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10316)). * Fix parsing of bitrates from `esds` boxes ([#10381](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10381)). * DASH: * Parse ClearKey license URL from manifests ([#10246](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10246)). * UI: * Ensure TalkBack announces the currently active speed option in the playback controls menu ([#10298](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10298)). * RTSP: * Add VP8 fragmented packet handling ([#110](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/110)). * Support frames/fragments in VP9 ([#115](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/115)). * Leanback extension: * Listen to `playWhenReady` changes in `LeanbackAdapter` ([10420](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10420)). * Cast: * Use the `MediaItem` that has been passed to the playlist methods as `Window.mediaItem` in `CastTimeline` ([#25](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/25), [#8212](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8212)). * Support `Player.getMetadata()` and `Listener.onMediaMetadataChanged()` with `CastPlayer` ([#25](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/25)). ### 1.0.0-beta01 (2022-06-16) This release corresponds to the [ExoPlayer 2.18.0 release](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/releases/tag/r2.18.0). * Core library: * Enable support for Android platform diagnostics via `MediaMetricsManager`. ExoPlayer will forward playback events and performance data to the platform, which helps to provide system performance and debugging information on the device. This data may also be collected by Google [if sharing usage and diagnostics data is enabled](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6078260) by the user of the device. Apps can opt-out of contributing to platform diagnostics for ExoPlayer with `ExoPlayer.Builder.setUsePlatformDiagnostics(false)`. * Fix bug that tracks are reset too often when using `MergingMediaSource`, for example when side-loading subtitles and changing the selected subtitle mid-playback ([#10248](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10248)). * Stop detecting 5G-NSA network type on API 29 and 30. These playbacks will assume a 4G network. * Disallow passing `null` to `MediaSource.Factory.setDrmSessionManagerProvider` and `MediaSource.Factory.setLoadErrorHandlingPolicy`. Instances of `DefaultDrmSessionManagerProvider` and `DefaultLoadErrorHandlingPolicy` can be passed explicitly if required. * Add `MediaItem.RequestMetadata` to represent metadata needed to play media when the exact `LocalConfiguration` is not known. Also remove `MediaMetadata.mediaUrl` as this is now included in `RequestMetadata`. * Add `Player.Command.COMMAND_SET_MEDIA_ITEM` to enable players to allow setting a single item. * Track selection: * Flatten `TrackSelectionOverrides` class into `TrackSelectionParameters`, and promote `TrackSelectionOverride` to a top level class. * Rename `TracksInfo` to `Tracks` and `TracksInfo.TrackGroupInfo` to `Tracks.Group`. `Player.getCurrentTracksInfo` and `Player.Listener.onTracksInfoChanged` have also been renamed to `Player.getCurrentTracks` and `Player.Listener.onTracksChanged`. This includes 'un-deprecating' the `Player.Listener.onTracksChanged` method name, but with different parameter types. * Change `DefaultTrackSelector.buildUponParameters` and `DefaultTrackSelector.Parameters.buildUpon` to return `DefaultTrackSelector.Parameters.Builder` instead of the deprecated `DefaultTrackSelector.ParametersBuilder`. * Add `DefaultTrackSelector.Parameters.constrainAudioChannelCountToDeviceCapabilities` which is enabled by default. When enabled, the `DefaultTrackSelector` will prefer audio tracks whose channel count does not exceed the device output capabilities. On handheld devices, the `DefaultTrackSelector` will prefer stereo/mono over multichannel audio formats, unless the multichannel format can be [Spatialized](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/Spatializer) (Android 12L+) or is a Dolby surround sound format. In addition, on devices that support audio spatialization, the `DefaultTrackSelector` will monitor for changes in the [Spatializer properties](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/Spatializer.OnSpatializerStateChangedListener) and trigger a new track selection upon these. Devices with a `television` [UI mode](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources#UiModeQualifier) are excluded from these constraints and the format with the highest channel count will be preferred. To enable this feature, the `DefaultTrackSelector` instance must be constructed with a `Context`. * Video: * Rename `DummySurface` to `PlaceholderSurface`. * Add AV1 support to the `MediaCodecVideoRenderer.getCodecMaxInputSize`. * Audio: * Use LG AC3 audio decoder advertising non-standard MIME type. * Change the return type of `AudioAttributes.getAudioAttributesV21()` from `android.media.AudioAttributes` to a new `AudioAttributesV21` wrapper class, to prevent slow ART verification on API < 21. * Query the platform (API 29+) or assume the audio encoding channel count for audio passthrough when the format audio channel count is unset, which occurs with HLS chunkless preparation ([#10204](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10204)). * Configure `AudioTrack` with channel mask `AudioFormat.CHANNEL_OUT_7POINT1POINT4` if the decoder outputs 12 channel PCM audio ([#10322](#https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/10322)). * DRM * Ensure the DRM session is always correctly updated when seeking immediately after a format change ([#10274](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10274)). * Text: * Change `Player.getCurrentCues()` to return `CueGroup` instead of `List`. * SSA: Support `OutlineColour` style setting when `BorderStyle == 3` (i.e. `OutlineColour` sets the background of the cue) ([#8435](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8435)). * CEA-708: Parse data into multiple service blocks and ignore blocks not associated with the currently selected service number. * Remove `RawCcExtractor`, which was only used to handle a Google-internal subtitle format. * Extractors: * Add support for AVI ([#2092](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2092)). * Matroska: Parse `DiscardPadding` for Opus tracks. * MP4: Parse bitrates from `esds` boxes. * Ogg: Allow duplicate Opus ID and comment headers ([#10038](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10038)). * UI: * Fix delivery of events to `OnClickListener`s set on `PlayerView`, in the case that `useController=false` ([#9605](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9605)). Also fix delivery of events to `OnLongClickListener` for all view configurations. * Fix incorrectly treating a sequence of touch events that exit the bounds of `PlayerView` before `ACTION_UP` as a click ([#9861](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9861)). * Fix `PlayerView` accessibility issue where tapping might toggle playback rather than hiding the controls ([#8627](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8627)). * Rewrite `TrackSelectionView` and `TrackSelectionDialogBuilder` to work with the `Player` interface rather than `ExoPlayer`. This allows the views to be used with other `Player` implementations, and removes the dependency from the UI module to the ExoPlayer module. This is a breaking change. * Don't show forced text tracks in the `PlayerView` track selector, and keep a suitable forced text track selected if "None" is selected ([#9432](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9432)). * DASH: * Parse channel count from DTS `AudioChannelConfiguration` elements. This re-enables audio passthrough for DTS streams ([#10159](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10159)). * Disallow passing `null` to `DashMediaSource.Factory.setCompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory`. Instances of `DefaultCompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory` can be passed explicitly if required. * HLS: * Fallback to chunkful preparation if the playlist CODECS attribute does not contain the audio codec ([#10065](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10065)). * Disallow passing `null` to `HlsMediaSource.Factory.setCompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory`, `HlsMediaSource.Factory.setPlaylistParserFactory`, and `HlsMediaSource.Factory.setPlaylistTrackerFactory`. Instances of `DefaultCompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory`, `DefaultHlsPlaylistParserFactory`, or a reference to `DefaultHlsPlaylistTracker.FACTORY` can be passed explicitly if required. * Smooth Streaming: * Disallow passing `null` to `SsMediaSource.Factory.setCompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory`. Instances of `DefaultCompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory` can be passed explicitly if required. * RTSP: * Add RTP reader for H263 ([#63](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/63)). * Add RTP reader for MPEG4 ([#35](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/35)). * Add RTP reader for HEVC ([#36](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/36)). * Add RTP reader for AMR. Currently only mono-channel, non-interleaved AMR streams are supported. Compound AMR RTP payload is not supported. ([#46](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/46)) * Add RTP reader for VP8 ([#47](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/47)). * Add RTP reader for WAV ([#56](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/56)). * Fix RTSP basic authorization header. ([#9544](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9544)). * Stop checking mandatory SDP fields as ExoPlayer doesn't need them ([#10049](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10049)). * Throw checked exception when parsing RTSP timing ([#10165](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10165)). * Add RTP reader for VP9 ([#47](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/64)). * Add RTP reader for OPUS ([#53](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/53)). * Session: * Replace `MediaSession.MediaItemFiller` with `MediaSession.Callback.onAddMediaItems` to allow asynchronous resolution of requests. * Support `setMediaItems(s)` methods when `MediaController` connects to a legacy media session. * Remove `MediaController.setMediaUri` and `MediaSession.Callback.onSetMediaUri`. The same functionality can be achieved by using `MediaController.setMediaItem` and `MediaSession.Callback.onAddMediaItems`. * Forward legacy `MediaController` calls to play media to `MediaSession.Callback.onAddMediaItems` instead of `onSetMediaUri`. * Add `MediaNotification.Provider` and `DefaultMediaNotificationProvider` to provide customization of the notification. * Add `BitmapLoader` and `SimpleBitmapLoader` for downloading artwork images. * Add `MediaSession.setCustomLayout()` to provide backwards compatibility with the legacy session. * Add `MediaSession.setSessionExtras()` to provide feature parity with legacy session. * Rename `MediaSession.MediaSessionCallback` to `MediaSession.Callback`, `MediaLibrarySession.MediaLibrarySessionCallback` to `MediaLibrarySession.Callback` and `MediaSession.Builder.setSessionCallback` to `setCallback`. * Fix NPE in `MediaControllerImplLegacy` ([#59](https://github.com/androidx/media/pull/59)). * Update session position info on timeline change([#51](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/51)). * Fix NPE in `MediaControllerImplBase` after releasing controller ([#74](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/74)). * Fix `IndexOutOfBoundsException` when setting less media items than in the current playlist ([#86](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/86)). * Ad playback / IMA: * Decrease ad polling rate from every 100ms to every 200ms, to line up with Media Rating Council (MRC) recommendations. * Fix bug where ad groups after the end of a VOD window stalled playback. Ads groups with a start time after the window are not enqueued into the `MediaPeriodQueue` anymore ([#2215](https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/2215)). * FFmpeg extension: * Update CMake version to `3.21.0+` to avoid a CMake bug causing AndroidStudio's gradle sync to fail ([#9933](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9933)). * Remove deprecated symbols: * Remove `Player.Listener.onTracksChanged(TrackGroupArray, TrackSelectionArray)`. Use `Player.Listener.onTracksChanged(Tracks)` instead. * Remove `Player.getCurrentTrackGroups` and `Player.getCurrentTrackSelections`. Use `Player.getCurrentTracks` instead. You can also continue to use `ExoPlayer.getCurrentTrackGroups` and `ExoPlayer.getCurrentTrackSelections`, although these methods remain deprecated. * Remove `DownloadHelper` `DEFAULT_TRACK_SELECTOR_PARAMETERS_WITHOUT_VIEWPORT` and `DEFAULT_TRACK_SELECTOR_PARAMETERS` constants. Use `getDefaultTrackSelectorParameters(Context)` instead when possible, and `DEFAULT_TRACK_SELECTOR_PARAMETERS_WITHOUT_CONTEXT` otherwise. * Remove constructor `DefaultTrackSelector(ExoTrackSelection.Factory)`. Use `DefaultTrackSelector(Context, ExoTrackSelection.Factory)` instead. * Remove `Transformer.Builder.setContext`. The `Context` should be passed to the `Transformer.Builder` constructor instead. ### 1.0.0-alpha03 (2022-03-14) This release corresponds to the [ExoPlayer 2.17.1 release](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/releases/tag/r2.17.1). * Audio: * Fix error checking audio capabilities for Dolby Atmos (E-AC3-JOC) in HLS. * Extractors: * FMP4: Fix issue where emsg sample metadata could be output in the wrong order for streams containing both v0 and v1 emsg atoms ([#9996](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9996)). * Text: * Fix the interaction of `SingleSampleMediaSource.Factory.setTrackId` and `MediaItem.SubtitleConfiguration.Builder.setId` to prioritise the `SubtitleConfiguration` field and fall back to the `Factory` value if it's not set ([#10016](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/10016)). * Ad playback: * Fix audio underruns between ad periods in live HLS SSAI streams. ### 1.0.0-alpha02 (2022-03-02) This release corresponds to the [ExoPlayer 2.17.0 release](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/releases/tag/r2.17.0). * Core Library: * Add protected method `DefaultRenderersFactory.getCodecAdapterFactory()` so that subclasses of `DefaultRenderersFactory` that override `buildVideoRenderers()` or `buildAudioRenderers()` can access the codec adapter factory and pass it to `MediaCodecRenderer` instances they create. * Propagate ICY header fields `name` and `genre` to `MediaMetadata.station` and `MediaMetadata.genre` respectively so that they reach the app via `Player.Listener.onMediaMetadataChanged()` ([#9677](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9677)). * Remove null keys from `DefaultHttpDataSource#getResponseHeaders`. * Sleep and retry when creating a `MediaCodec` instance fails. This works around an issue that occurs on some devices when switching a surface from a secure codec to another codec ([#8696](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8696)). * Add `MediaCodecAdapter.getMetrics()` to allow users obtain metrics data from `MediaCodec` ([#9766](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9766)). * Fix Maven dependency resolution ([#8353](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8353)). * Disable automatic speed adjustment for live streams that neither have low-latency features nor a user request setting the speed ([#9329](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9329)). * Rename `DecoderCounters#inputBufferCount` to `queuedInputBufferCount`. * Make `SimpleExoPlayer.renderers` private. Renderers can be accessed via `ExoPlayer.getRenderer`. * Updated some `AnalyticsListener.EventFlags` constant values to match values in `Player.EventFlags`. * Split `AnalyticsCollector` into an interface and default implementation to allow it to be stripped by R8 if an app doesn't need it. * Track selection: * Support preferred video role flags in track selection ([#9402](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9402)). * Update video track selection logic to take preferred MIME types and role flags into account when selecting multiple video tracks for adaptation ([#9519](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9519)). * Update video and audio track selection logic to only choose formats for adaptive selections that have the same level of decoder and hardware support ([#9565](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9565)). * Update video track selection logic to prefer more efficient codecs if multiple codecs are supported by primary, hardware-accelerated decoders ([#4835](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4835)). * Prefer audio content preferences (for example, the "default" audio track or a track matching the system locale language) over technical track selection constraints (for example, preferred MIME type, or maximum channel count). * Fix track selection issue where overriding one track group did not disable other track groups of the same type ([#9675](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9675)). * Fix track selection issue where a mixture of non-empty and empty track overrides is not applied correctly ([#9649](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9649)). * Prohibit duplicate `TrackGroup`s in a `TrackGroupArray`. `TrackGroup`s can always be made distinguishable by setting an `id` in the `TrackGroup` constructor. This fixes a crash when resuming playback after backgrounding the app with an active track override ([#9718](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9718)). * Amend logic in `AdaptiveTrackSelection` to allow a quality increase under sufficient network bandwidth even if playback is very close to the live edge ([#9784](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9784)). * Video: * Fix decoder fallback logic for Dolby Vision to use a compatible H264/H265 decoder if needed. * Audio: * Fix decoder fallback logic for Dolby Atmos (E-AC3-JOC) to use a compatible E-AC3 decoder if needed. * Change `AudioCapabilities` APIs to require passing explicitly `AudioCapabilities.DEFAULT_AUDIO_CAPABILITIES` instead of `null`. * Allow customization of the `AudioTrack` buffer size calculation by injecting an `AudioTrackBufferSizeProvider` to `DefaultAudioSink` ([#8891](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8891)). * Retry `AudioTrack` creation if the requested buffer size was > 1MB ([#9712](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9712)). * Extractors: * WAV: Add support for RF64 streams ([#9543](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9543)). * Fix incorrect parsing of H.265 SPS NAL units ([#9719](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9719)). * Parse Vorbis Comments (including `METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE`) in Ogg Opus and Ogg Vorbis files. * Text: * Add a `MediaItem.SubtitleConfiguration.id` field which is propagated to the `Format.id` field of the subtitle track created from the configuration ([#9673](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9673)). * Add basic support for WebVTT subtitles in Matroska containers ([#9886](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9886)). * Prevent `Cea708Decoder` from reading more than the declared size of a service block. * DRM: * Remove `playbackLooper` from `DrmSessionManager.(pre)acquireSession`. When a `DrmSessionManager` is used by an app in a custom `MediaSource`, the `playbackLooper` needs to be passed to `DrmSessionManager.setPlayer` instead. * Ad playback / IMA: * Add support for [IMA Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI)](https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/6147120) ([#8213](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/8213)). * Add a method to `AdPlaybackState` to allow resetting an ad group so that it can be played again ([#9615](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9615)). * Enforce playback speed of 1.0 during ad playback ([#9018](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9018)). * Fix issue where an ad group that failed to load caused an immediate playback reset ([#9929](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9929)). * UI: * Fix the color of the numbers in `StyledPlayerView` rewind and fastforward buttons when using certain themes ([#9765](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9765)). * Correctly translate playback speed strings ([#9811](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9811)). * DASH: * Add parsed essential and supplemental properties to the `Representation` ([#9579](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9579)). * Support the `forced-subtitle` track role ([#9727](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9727)). * Stop interpreting the `main` track role as `C.SELECTION_FLAG_DEFAULT`. * Fix base URL exclusion logic for manifests that do not declare the DVB namespace ([#9856](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9856)). * Support relative `MPD.Location` URLs ([#9939](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9939)). * HLS: * Correctly populate `Format.label` for audio only HLS streams ([#9608](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9608)). * Use chunkless preparation by default to improve start up time. If your renditions contain muxed closed-caption tracks that are **not** declared in the master playlist, you should add them to the master playlist to be available for playback, or turn off chunkless preparation with `HlsMediaSource.Factory.setAllowChunklessPreparation(false)`. * Support key-frame accurate seeking in HLS ([#2882](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2882)). * RTSP: * Provide a client API to override the `SocketFactory` used for any server connection ([#9606](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/9606)). * Prefer DIGEST authentication method over BASIC if both are present ([#9800](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9800)). * Handle when RTSP track timing is not available ([#9775](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9775)). * Ignore invalid RTP-Info header values ([#9619](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9619)). * Transformer: * Increase required min API version to 21. * `TransformationException` is now used to describe errors that occur during a transformation. * Add `TransformationRequest` for specifying the transformation options. * Allow multiple listeners to be registered. * Fix Transformer being stuck when the codec output is partially read. * Fix potential NPE in `Transformer.getProgress` when releasing the muxer throws. * Add a demo app for applying transformations. * MediaSession extension: * By default, `MediaSessionConnector` now clears the playlist on stop. Apps that want the playlist to be retained can call `setClearMediaItemsOnStop(false)` on the connector. * Cast extension: * Fix bug that prevented `CastPlayer` from calling `onIsPlayingChanged` correctly ([#9792](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9792)). * Support audio metadata including artwork with `DefaultMediaItemConverter` ([#9663](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9663)). * FFmpeg extension: * Make `build_ffmpeg.sh` depend on LLVM's bin utils instead of GNU's ([#9933](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9933)). * Android 12 compatibility: * Upgrade the Cast extension to depend on `com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast-framework:20.1.0`. Earlier versions of `play-services-cast-framework` are not compatible with apps targeting Android 12, and will crash with an `IllegalArgumentException` when creating `PendingIntent`s ([#9528](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/9528)). * Remove deprecated symbols: * Remove `Player.EventListener`. Use `Player.Listener` instead. * Remove `MediaSourceFactory.setDrmSessionManager`, `MediaSourceFactory.setDrmHttpDataSourceFactory`, and `MediaSourceFactory.setDrmUserAgent`. Use `MediaSourceFactory.setDrmSessionManagerProvider` instead. * Remove `MediaSourceFactory.setStreamKeys`. Use `MediaItem.Builder.setStreamKeys` instead. * Remove `MediaSourceFactory.createMediaSource(Uri)`. Use `MediaSourceFactory.createMediaSource(MediaItem)` instead. * Remove `setTag` from `DashMediaSource`, `HlsMediaSource` and `SsMediaSource`. Use `MediaItem.Builder.setTag` instead. * Remove `DashMediaSource.setLivePresentationDelayMs(long, boolean)`. Use `MediaItem.Builder.setLiveConfiguration` and `MediaItem.LiveConfiguration.Builder.setTargetOffsetMs` to override the manifest, or `DashMediaSource.setFallbackTargetLiveOffsetMs` to provide a fallback value. * Remove `(Simple)ExoPlayer.setThrowsWhenUsingWrongThread`. Opting out of the thread enforcement is no longer possible. * Remove `ActionFile` and `ActionFileUpgradeUtil`. Use ExoPlayer 2.16.1 or before to use `ActionFileUpgradeUtil` to merge legacy action files into `DefaultDownloadIndex`. * Remove `ProgressiveMediaSource.setExtractorsFactory`. Use `ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory(DataSource.Factory, ExtractorsFactory)` constructor instead. * Remove `ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory.setTag` and `ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory.setCustomCacheKey`. Use `MediaItem.Builder.setTag` and `MediaItem.Builder.setCustomCacheKey` instead. * Remove `DefaultRenderersFactory(Context, @ExtensionRendererMode int)` and `DefaultRenderersFactory(Context, @ExtensionRendererMode int, long)` constructors. Use the `DefaultRenderersFactory(Context)` constructor, `DefaultRenderersFactory.setExtensionRendererMode`, and `DefaultRenderersFactory.setAllowedVideoJoiningTimeMs` instead. * Remove all public `CronetDataSource` constructors. Use `CronetDataSource.Factory` instead. * Change the following `IntDefs` to `@Target(TYPE_USE)` only. This may break the compilation of usages in Kotlin, which can be fixed by moving the annotation to annotate the type (`Int`). * `@AacAudioObjectType` * `@Ac3Util.SyncFrameInfo.StreamType` * `@AdLoadException.Type` * `@AdtsExtractor.Flags` * `@AmrExtractor.Flags` * `@AspectRatioFrameLayout.ResizeMode` * `@AudioFocusManager.PlayerCommand` * `@AudioSink.SinkFormatSupport` * `@BinarySearchSeeker.TimestampSearchResult.Type` * `@BufferReplacementMode` * `@C.BufferFlags` * `@C.ColorRange` * `@C.ColorSpace` * `@C.ColorTransfer` * `@C.CryptoMode` * `@C.Encoding` * `@C.PcmEncoding` * `@C.Projection` * `@C.SelectionReason` * `@C.StereoMode` * `@C.VideoOutputMode` * `@CacheDataSource.Flags` * `@CaptionStyleCompat.EdgeType` * `@DataSpec.Flags` * `@DataSpec.HttpMethods` * `@DecoderDiscardReasons` * `@DecoderReuseResult` * `@DefaultAudioSink.OutputMode` * `@DefaultDrmSessionManager.Mode` * `@DefaultTrackSelector.SelectionEligibility` * `@DefaultTsPayloadReaderFactory.Flags` * `@EGLSurfaceTexture.SecureMode` * `@EbmlProcessor.ElementType` * `@ExoMediaDrm.KeyRequest.RequestType` * `@ExtensionRendererMode` * `@Extractor.ReadResult` * `@FileTypes.Type` * `@FlacExtractor.Flags` (in `com.google.android.exoplayer2.ext.flac` package) * `@FlacExtractor.Flags` (in `com.google.android.exoplayer2.extractor.flac` package) * `@FragmentedMp4Extractor.Flags` * `@HlsMediaPlaylist.PlaylistType` * `@HttpDataSourceException.Type` * `@IllegalClippingException.Reason` * `@IllegalMergeException.Reason` * `@LoadErrorHandlingPolicy.FallbackType` * `@MatroskaExtractor.Flags` * `@Mp3Extractor.Flags` * `@Mp4Extractor.Flags` * `@NotificationUtil.Importance` * `@PlaybackException.FieldNumber` * `@PlayerNotificationManager.Priority` * `@PlayerNotificationManager.Visibility` * `@PlayerView.ShowBuffering` * `@Renderer.State` * `@RendererCapabilities.AdaptiveSupport` * `@RendererCapabilities.Capabilities` * `@RendererCapabilities.DecoderSupport` * `@RendererCapabilities.FormatSupport` * `@RendererCapabilities.HardwareAccelerationSupport` * `@RendererCapabilities.TunnelingSupport` * `@SampleStream.ReadDataResult` * `@SampleStream.ReadFlags` * `@StyledPlayerView.ShowBuffering` * `@SubtitleView.ViewType` * `@TextAnnotation.Position` * `@TextEmphasisSpan.MarkFill` * `@TextEmphasisSpan.MarkShape` * `@Track.Transformation` * `@TrackOutput.SampleDataPart` * `@Transformer.ProgressState` * `@TsExtractor.Mode` * `@TsPayloadReader.Flags` * `@WebvttCssStyle.FontSizeUnit` ### 1.0.0-alpha01 AndroidX Media is the new home for media support libraries, including ExoPlayer. The first alpha contains early, functional implementations of libraries for implementing media use cases, including: * ExoPlayer, an application-level media player for Android that is easy to customize and extend. * Media session functionality, for exposing and controlling playbacks. This new session module uses the same `Player` interface as ExoPlayer. * UI components for building media playback user interfaces. * Modules wrapping functionality in other libraries for use with ExoPlayer, for example, ad insertion via the IMA SDK. ExoPlayer was previously hosted in a separate [ExoPlayer GitHub project](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer). In AndroidX Media its package name is `androidx.media3.exoplayer`. We plan to continue to maintain and release the ExoPlayer GitHub project for a while to give apps time to migrate. AndroidX Media has replacements for all the ExoPlayer modules, except for the legacy media2 and mediasession extensions, which are together replaced by the new `media3-session` module. This provides direct integration between players and media sessions without needing to use an adapter/connector class.
