When rendering frames at a rate higher than the screen refresh rate, e.g. playing at 8x, the player is releasing multiple frames at the same release time (nanos) which are then dropped by the platform. The output buffers are available later and as a result MediaCodec cannot keep up decoding fast enough. This change skips releasing multiple video frames on the same vsync period and proactivelly drops the frame. The frame is counted as skipped rather than dropped to differentiate with frames dropped due to slow decoding. PiperOrigin-RevId: 510964976
ExoPlayer module
This module provides ExoPlayer
, the Player
implementation for local media
playback on Android.
Getting the module
The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:
implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer: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.
