Some Player methods operate relative to existing indices in the playlist (add,remove,move,seek). As these operations may be issued from a place with a stale playlist (e.g. a controller that sends a command while the playlist is changing), we have to handle out- of-bounds indices gracefully. In most cases this is already documented and implemented correctly. However, some cases are not documented and the existing player implementations don't handle these cases consistently (or in some cases not even correctly). PiperOrigin-RevId: 495856295
Cast module
This module provides a Player implementation that controls a Cast receiver app.
Getting the module
The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:
implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-cast: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
Create a CastPlayer
and use it to control a Cast receiver app. Since
CastPlayer
implements the Player
interface, it can be passed to all media
components that accept a Player
, including the UI components provided by the
UI module.
