The spec technically allows to mark adaptation sets with the switching property if they allow seamless switching with non-overlapping segments. This is typically only used for compatible content (e.g. different codecs), but the spec allows it to be used for other content as well (e.g. different languages, roles). ExoPlayer's concept of a TrackGroup only allows formats with the same language and role flags to be merged, so we should check that before merging. Issue: androidx/media#2222 PiperOrigin-RevId: 736564055 (cherry picked from commit d37f05238a2d8b45ea2e5f4ac026084b917f30df)
ExoPlayer DASH module
Provides support for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) content in ExoPlayer.
Getting the module
The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:
implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer-dash:1.X.X'
where 1.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the other media
modules being used.
Alternatively, you can clone this GitHub project and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the top level README.
Using the module
Adding a dependency to this module is all that's required to enable playback of
DASH media items added to ExoPlayer in its default configuration. Internally,
DefaultMediaSourceFactory will automatically detect the presence of the module
and convert a DASH MediaItem into a DashMediaSource for playback.
Similarly, a DownloadManager in its default configuration will use
DefaultDownloaderFactory, which will automatically detect the presence of
the module and build DashDownloader instances to download DASH content.
For advanced playback use cases, applications can build DashMediaSource
instances and pass them directly to the player. For advanced download use cases,
DashDownloader can be used directly.
