Currently, DrmSessionManager takes player specific values (= the playback looper) through (pre)acquireSession calls and requires the caller to pass in the same values every time. Instead, we can configure the DrmSessionManager for playback with a player once before it's being used. We can't simply extend the prepare() method as prepare may be called before the player is created to prewarm the DrmSessionManager. The new method also takes a PlayerId which is bound to the lifetime of the player similar to the playback looper. To avoid breakage of custom MediaSources with DRM, we can keep the old the SampleQueue.createWithDrm method as deprecated. PiperOrigin-RevId: 410998240
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.
