The operation almost always acquires resources straight-away, for example a new thread or file access. This means starting many metadata retrievals in parallel easily causes resource contention. This problem can be alleviated by limiting the maximum number of parallel retrievals. Local testing showed a 20% speedup for local file retrievals when limited to 5 in parallel. Any more parallel retrievals did not show any improvement or started getting slower again the more operations are allowed. PiperOrigin-RevId: 650674685
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.
