MP4 edit lists sometimes ask to start playback between two samples. If this happens, we currently change the timestamp of the first sample to zero to trim it (e.g. to display the first frame for a slightly shorter period of time). However, we can't do this to audio samples are they have an inherent duration and trimming them this way is not possible. #minor-release PiperOrigin-RevId: 543420218
ExoPlayer HLS module
Provides support for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) 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-hls: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
HLS media items added to ExoPlayer
in its default configuration. Internally,
DefaultMediaSourceFactory
will automatically detect the presence of the module
and convert an HLS MediaItem
into an HlsMediaSource
for playback.
Similarly, a DownloadManager
in its default configuration will use
DefaultDownloaderFactory
, which will automatically detect the presence of
the module and build HlsDownloader
instances to download HLS content.
For advanced playback use cases, applications can build HlsMediaSource
instances and pass them directly to the player. For advanced download use cases,
HlsDownloader
can be used directly.
