DASH periods don't have to start at the beginning of a segment. In these cases, they should report an initial discontinuity to let the player know it needs to expect preroll data (e.g. to flush renderers) This information is only available in the ChunkSampleStream after loading the initialization data, so we need to check the sample streams and tell them to only report discontinuities at the very beginning of playback. All other position resets are triggered by the player itself and don't need this method. Issue: androidx/media#1440 PiperOrigin-RevId: 668831563
ExoPlayer SmoothStreaming module
Provides support for SmoothStreaming 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-smoothstreaming: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.
Adding a dependency to this module is all that's required to enable playback of
SmoothStreaming media items added to ExoPlayer in its default configuration.
Internally, DefaultMediaSourceFactory will automatically detect the presence
of the module and convert a SmoothStreaming MediaItem into a SsMediaSource
for playback.
Similarly, a DownloadManager in its default configuration will use
DefaultDownloaderFactory, which will automatically detect the presence of
the module and build SsDownloader instances to download SmoothStreaming
content.
For advanced playback use cases, applications can build SsMediaSource
instances and pass them directly to the player. For advanced download use cases,
SsDownloader can be used directly.
