- Add a readBit method to BitsArray for reading a boolean flag.
- Make things accessed from inner classes package visibility to avoid
the compiler generating thunk methods.
- The HlsSampleSource now owns the extractor. TsChunk is more or less dumb.
The previous model was weird, because you'd end up "reading" samples from
TsChunk objects that were actually parsed from the previous chunk (due to
the way the extractor was shared and maintained internal queues).
- Split out consuming and reading in the extractor.
- Make it so we consume 5s ahead. This is a window we allow for uneven
interleaving, whilst preventing huge read-ahead (e.g. in the case of sparse
ID3 samples).
- Avoid flushing the extractor for a discontinuity until it has been fully
drained of previously parsed samples. This avoids skipping media shortly
before discontinuities.
- Also made start-up faster by avoiding double-loading the first segment.
Issue: #3
The key change here is that nextLoadPositionUs is set to -1
if we're not loading but don't have a next chunk ready to
load. This ensures that "missing chunks" in one stream don't
prevent chunks in another stream from loading. This occurs
in SmoothStreaming with TTML subtitles, where the chunks are
sparse.
Propagate elapsedRealtimeUs to the video renderer. This allows
the renderer to calculate and adjust for the elapsed time since
the start of the current rendering loop. Typically this is <2ms,
but there situations where it can go higher (normally when the
video renderer ends up processing more than 1 output buffer in
a single loop).
Also made variable naming more consistent throughout the package.
- Move parsing onto a background thread. This is analogous
to how frame decoding is pushed to MediaCodec, and should
prevent possible jank when new subtitle samples are parsed.
This is more important for out-of-band subtitles, which can
take a second or two to parse fully.
- Add Useful DataSpec method.
Previously we'd end up blocking forever in this case, which
is the worst thing we could do :). We could either throw an
exception or just print a warning. Printing a warning is more
in line with what other methods do (Handler prints a "sending
message to dead thread" warning).
This allows ManifestFetcher to both execute the initial
manifest load and be plugged into an ExoPlayer ChunkSource,
where it can be used for repeated manfiest refreshes during
live playback.
