I am trying to implement a basic radio player that can pause the live stream, rewind it and then fast forward it again.
I think that this functionality should be natively supported from version 2.1 of the ExoPlayer.
However, the rewind and fast-forward controls are grayed out when streaming even though they work when playing local content.
Here is how I am creating the player:
private void initExoPlayer(){
Handler mHandler = new Handler();
String userAgent = "userAgent";
Uri uri = Uri.parse(urlSourceOfStream);
dataSourceFactory = new DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory(
userAgent, null,
DefaultHttpDataSource.DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MILLIS,
1800000,
true);
mediaSource = new ExtractorMediaSource(uri,dataSourceFactory, Mp3Extractor.FACTORY,
mHandler, null);
bandwidthMeter = new DefaultBandwidthMeter();
trackSelectionFactory =
new AdaptiveTrackSelection.Factory(bandwidthMeter);
trackSelector = new DefaultTrackSelector(trackSelectionFactory);
loadControl = new DefaultLoadControl();
exoPlayer = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(this, trackSelector, loadControl);
exoPlayer.prepare(mediaSource);
((SimpleExoPlayerView) findViewById(R.id.exoPlayer)).setPlayer(exoPlayer);
}
The player can pause successfully, and it seems to be caching the content as I can resume the player after it has been paused for minutes. This also indicates that there should be some cache that can allow me to rewind the content.
I've also tried using the OkHttpDataSourceFactory :
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder().cache(new Cache(getFilesDir() , 1000)).build();
OkHttpDataSourceFactory okHttpDataSourceFactory = new OkHttpDataSourceFactory(client, userAgent, null);
Trying to rewind the player like this makes the player play from the live stream position and does not rewind the content:
exoPlayer.seekTo(Math.max(exoPlayer.getCurrentPosition() - 1000, 0));
My question in a nutshell: How can I rewind and fast-forward an HLS with the ExoPlayer?
Thanks in advance.
It looks like there is a bug, https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/87 discussing this, and it's been closed. But I'm not sure if its reached the v2 release, and rather it might be in the dev release, here

I am using exoplayer and I noticed when I play a video in one activity and then switch to another by pressing on a button the video itself stops playing in order to switch to the new activity, but the audio keeps playing. If I return to the old activity and play the video again the audio is still going + I hear the audio from playing the video again and hear the audio two times now simulteanously at different times of the song.
String url = model.getVideo();
try {
BandwidthMeter bandwidthMeter= new DefaultBandwidthMeter();
TrackSelector trackSelector = new DefaultTrackSelector(new AdaptiveTrackSelection.Factory( bandwidthMeter));
holder.exoPlayer= ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance( LiFit.getContext(),trackSelector );
Uri videouri = Uri.parse(model.getVideo());
DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory("exoplayer_video");
ExtractorsFactory extractorsFactory= new DefaultExtractorsFactory();
MediaSource mediaSource = new ExtractorMediaSource(videouri,dataSourceFactory,extractorsFactory,null,null);
holder.videoView.setPlayer(holder.exoPlayer);
holder.exoPlayer.prepare(mediaSource);
//holder.exoPlayer.setPlayWhenReady(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
//Nichts
}
This is the code I am using does somebody know a solution for this problem ?
exoplayer has a method setPlayWhenReady which can be used to play/pause the media, and a release method when the player is no longer needed.
You can use these methods when switching to another activity.
Hi I am creating an app that will broadcast live and another user can view it
I am currently using flash to push it into WOWZA and I am using exoplayer for viewing it
I am using RTMP because it's the only one supported by exoplayer which has low latency
everything works perfect however when I mute the microphone in the live side the video in exoplayer will freeze and will go to status
STATE_BUFFERING but it will not proceed to STATE_READY
and if I unmute it will go back to normal and can view it again from
STATE_BUFFERING to STATE_READY
And anyway I tried the stream to view in VLC and it does work it doesn't freeze
I tried other solution but doesn't work
my code is this
//initiate Player
//Create a default TrackSelector
BandwidthMeter bandwidthMeter = new DefaultBandwidthMeter();
TrackSelection.Factory videoTrackSelectionFactory = new AdaptiveTrackSelection.Factory(bandwidthMeter);
TrackSelector trackSelector = new DefaultTrackSelector(videoTrackSelectionFactory);
//Create the player
SimpleExoPlayer player = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(this, trackSelector);
PlayerView playerView = findViewById(R.id.simple_player);
playerView.setPlayer(player);
RtmpDataSourceFactory rtmpDataSourceFactory = new RtmpDataSourceFactory();
// This is the MediaSource representing the media to be played.
MediaSource videoSource = new ExtractorMediaSource.Factory(rtmpDataSourceFactory)
.createMediaSource(Uri.parse(URL));
player.prepare(videoSource);
//auto start playing
player.setPlayWhenReady(true);
I hope someone helps me!!!
thank you in advance
I want to stream for an online radio with exoplayer version rc2.x.x though an android service.
I have been trying to learn from all tutorials online I could but they are all prior to the 2.x.x version and a lot of them are video streaming related as well (which I don't need).
Does anyone has a very nice tutorial?
I don't have deep knowledge of ExoPlayer but I have prepared this code snippet which can stream mp3 link.
EXO Player Verison : r2.0.4
private void initMediaPlayer() {
Handler mHandler = new Handler();
String userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.11; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0";
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheCombatJackShow/~5/s_9fWPxLDu0/188058705-thecombatjackshow-the-j-cole-episode.mp3");
DataSource.Factory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory(
userAgent, null,
DefaultHttpDataSource.DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MILLIS,
DefaultHttpDataSource.DEFAULT_READ_TIMEOUT_MILLIS,
true);
MediaSource mediaSource = new ExtractorMediaSource(uri, dataSourceFactory, Mp3Extractor.FACTORY,
mHandler, null);
TrackSelector trackSelector = new DefaultTrackSelector(mHandler);
DefaultLoadControl loadControl = new DefaultLoadControl();
ExoPlayer exoPlayer = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(this, trackSelector, loadControl);
//exoPlayer.addListener(this);
exoPlayer.prepare(mediaSource);
exoPlayer.setPlayWhenReady(true);
}

I have integrated android exoplayer in my application. I have to detect the HLS (.m3u8) stream received is for Live or VOD or Event, so depending on that controller has to be modified for the player. I have only one instance of player so that should handle all the supported media like vod or live or event.
I am looking for some debug points to know working of m3u8 parser in exoplayer so that I can able to receive this parameters.
You can use below code to play .m3u8 file:-
BandwidthMeter bandwidthMeter = new DefaultBandwidthMeter();
TrackSelection.Factory videoTrackSelectionFactory = new AdaptiveTrackSelection.Factory(bandwidthMeter);
TrackSelector trackSelector = new DefaultTrackSelector(videoTrackSelectionFactory);
//Create the player using ExoPlayerFactory
videoPlayer = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(context,trackSelector);
Handler mHandler = new Handler();
String userAgent = Util.getUserAgent(context, "Exo Player");
DataSource.Factory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory(
userAgent, null,
DefaultHttpDataSource.DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MILLIS,
1800000,
true);
HlsMediaSource mediaSource = new HlsMediaSource(Uri.parse(mediaUrl),dataSourceFactory, 1800000,mHandler, null);
if (mediaUrl != null) {
videoPlayer.prepare(mediaSource);
videoPlayer.setPlayWhenReady(true);
}
Live vs Event differentiation is not supported, yet. For Live vs Event you can check the current Timeline, but that's not HLS specific. For distinguish a live stream from a vod one by querying the player's duration after it is prepared. Live streams will return UNKNOWN_TIME, where-as vod streams will return the known duration of the stream.
I am currently looking to develop an application that utilises Dash through the ExoPlayer in Android.
To begin with I am going through the demo project however am having trouble with even creating a simple working instance of ExoPlayer that can stream mp3 or similar.
Would really appreciate any help anyone can give relating to getting a very simple exoplayer instance working from which i can adapt and build upon or if anyone has any leads for more references or guides which I can follow as there seems to be very little documentation available.
Thanks very much for all and any help!
First of all instantiate your ExoPlayer with this line:
exoPlayer = ExoPlayer.Factory.newInstance(RENDERER_COUNT, minBufferMs, minRebufferMs);
If you want to play audio only you can use these values:
RENDERER_COUNT = 1 //since you want to render simple audio
minBufferMs = 1000
minRebufferMs = 5000
Both buffer values can be tweaked according to your requirements
Now you have to create a DataSource. When you want to stream mp3 you can use the DefaultUriDataSource. You have to pass the Context and a UserAgent. To keep it simple play a local file and pass null as userAgent:
DataSource dataSource = new DefaultUriDataSource(context, null);
Then create the sampleSource:
ExtractorSampleSource sampleSource = new ExtractorSampleSource(
uri, dataSource, new Mp3Extractor(), RENDERER_COUNT, requestedBufferSize);
uri points to your file, as an Extractor you can use a simple default Mp3Extractor if you want to play mp3. requestedBufferSize can be tweaked again according to your requirements. Use 5000 for example.
Now you can create your audio track renderer using the sample source as follows:
MediaCodecAudioTrackRenderer audioRenderer = new MediaCodecAudioTrackRenderer(sampleSource);
Finally call prepare on your exoPlayer instance:
exoPlayer.prepare(audioRenderer);
To start playback call:
exoPlayer.setPlayWhenReady(true);
Here is how you would do it using the new ExoPlayer 2 API, and the SimpleExoPlayer.
First create the player:
DefaultBandwidthMeter bandwidthMeter = new DefaultBandwidthMeter();
DataSource.Factory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(context, bandwidthMeter);
TrackSelection.Factory videoTrackSelectionFactory = new AdaptiveTrackSelection.Factory(bandwidthMeter);
DefaultTrackSelector trackSelector = new DefaultTrackSelector(videoTrackSelectionFactory);
LoadControl loadControl = new DefaultLoadControl();
SimpleExoPlayer player = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(context, trackSelector, loadControl);
player.addListener(...); // To receive events from the player
Then create your MediaSource. For MP3 you can use ExtractorMediaSource:
ExtractorsFactory extractorsFactory = new DefaultExtractorsFactory();
Uri uri = Uri.parse(mp3UriString);
Handler mainHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
MediaSource mediaSource = new ExtractorMediaSource(uri, dataSourceFactory, extractorsFactory, mainHandler, mediaSourceListener); // Listener defined elsewhere
Then prepare and play when ready:
player.prepare(mediaSource);
player.setPlayWhenReady(true);
For DASH you would use DashMediaSource instead of ExtractorMediaSource.
Today while working on a project, I found that this.myExoPlayer = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(getActivity()); and some others are now deprecated and Android studio suggested to use new way. So I did a quick Google for it but everywhere I found the old way. So I looked into the SimpleExoPlayer.java file, read some methods. So this is how you initialize simpleExoPlayer:
Activity activity = getActivity(); // if you are in a fragment
// Or, activity = YourActivity.this; if you are in an Activity
SimpleExoPlayer simpleExoPlayer = new SimpleExoPlayer.Builder(activity).build();
I hope this is helpful.
