1. Remove requirement for TrackRenderer implementations to report
current position, unless they are time sources.
2. Expose whether renderers have media to play. The immediate benefit
of this is to solve the referenced GitHub issue, and also to only
display the appropriate Audio/Video/Text buttons in the demo app
for the media being played. This is also a natural step toward
multi-track support.
Github issue: #541
This makes it so that it's no longer necessary to specify the number
of downstream renderers to HlsSampleSource, FrameworkSampleSource and
ExtractorSampleSource, by forcing the downstream renderers to register
with the SampleSource instances in their constructors. This eliminates
a common source of subtle client bugs where the passed value is incorrect.
- There's definitely potential for more code sharing in these
classes, but deferring for now.
- Also made no-scheme default to file://, and allowed smoothstreaming
URLs to be specified with or without the /Manifest suffix.
This also fixes a technical mistake where HlsChunkSource is fed
seekPositionUs=-1 when obtaining the first chunk. This is wrong,
but the usage of this variable within HlsChunkSource enforces that
the seek must stay within bounds, so we get away with it.
Issue: #385
The spurious transitions were caused by calling pushTrackSelection
in onRenderers after changing the renderer building state to BUILT
and before calling player.prepare. pushTrackSelection can cause the
ExoPlayer to generate state changes, since it can call setPlayWhenReady.
This change transitions the renderer building state later, so that
when this happens getPlaybackState correctly masks the state and
returns STATE_PREPARING.
Play movies has an Allocator that attempts to allocate a single
huge byte[] up front to minimize the risk of GC pauses. This abstraction
will be required to keep that when updating them to the new Exo.
Using a file:// URL for loading an HLS stream (for testing) would fail due to
casting the connection to an HttpURLConnection in DefaultHttpDataSource.
This change makes UriDataSource an interface for objects that are DataSources
with URIs. That allows for reading manifests for HLS using just a UriDataSource
rather than an HttpDataSource (URLs in the playlist are relative to the data
source's URL so the getUri method is needed).
