Duration was originally included in MediaFormat to match the framework class, but it actually doesn't make much sense. In many containers there's no such thing as per-stream duration, and in any case we don't really care. Setting the duration on each format required excessive piping. This change moves duration into SeekMap instead, which seems to make a lot more sense because it's at the container level, and because being able to seek is generally couplied with knowing how long the stream is. This change is also a step toward merging Format and MediaFormat into a single class (because Format doesn't have a duration), which is coming soon. ------------- Created by MOE: https://github.com/google/moe MOE_MIGRATED_REVID=114428500
ExoPlayer
ExoPlayer is an application level media player for Android. It provides an alternative to Android’s MediaPlayer API for playing audio and video both locally and over the Internet. ExoPlayer supports features not currently supported by Android’s MediaPlayer API, including DASH and SmoothStreaming adaptive playbacks. Unlike the MediaPlayer API, ExoPlayer is easy to customize and extend, and can be updated through Play Store application updates.
