Release Notes

google/ExoPlayer

v2.18.1

This release corresponds to the AndroidX media3 1.0.0-beta02 release.

  • Core library:
    • Ensure that changing the ShuffleOrder with ExoPlayer.setShuffleOrder results in a call to Player.Listener#onTimelineChanged with reason=Player.TIMELINE_CHANGE_REASON_PLAYLIST_CHANGED (#​9889).
    • For progressive media, only include selected tracks in buffered position (#​10361).
    • Allow custom logger for all ExoPlayer log output (#​9752).
    • Fix implementation of setDataSourceFactory in DefaultMediaSourceFactory, which was non-functional in some cases (#​116).
  • Extractors:
    • Fix parsing of H265 short term reference picture sets (#​10316).
    • Fix parsing of bitrates from esds boxes (#​10381).
  • DASH:
    • Parse ClearKey license URL from manifests (#​10246).
  • UI:
    • Ensure TalkBack announces the currently active speed option in the playback controls menu (#​10298).
  • RTSP:
    • Add VP8 fragmented packet handling (#​110).
  • Leanback extension:
    • Listen to playWhenReady changes in LeanbackAdapter (10420).
  • Cast:
    • Use the MediaItem that has been passed to the playlist methods as Window.mediaItem in CastTimeline (#​25, #​8212).
    • Support Player.getMetadata() and Listener.onMediaMetadataChanged() with CastPlayer (#​25).

v2.18.0

This release corresponds to the AndroidX media3 1.0.0-beta01 release.

  • Core library:
    • Enable support for Android platform diagnostics via MediaMetricsManager. ExoPlayer will forward playback events and performance data to the platform, which helps to provide system performance and debugging information on the device. This data may also be collected by Google if sharing usage and diagnostics data is enabled by the user of the device. Apps can opt-out of contributing to platform diagnostics for ExoPlayer with ExoPlayer.Builder.setUsePlatformDiagnostics(false).
    • Fix bug that tracks are reset too often when using MergingMediaSource, for example when side-loading subtitles and changing the selected subtitle mid-playback (#​10248).
    • Stop detecting 5G-NSA network type on API 29 and 30. These playbacks will assume a 4G network.
    • Disallow passing null to MediaSource.Factory.setDrmSessionManagerProvider and MediaSource.Factory.setLoadErrorHandlingPolicy. Instances of DefaultDrmSessionManagerProvider and DefaultLoadErrorHandlingPolicy can be passed explicitly if required.
    • Add MediaItem.RequestMetadata to represent metadata needed to play media when the exact LocalConfiguration is not known. Also remove MediaMetadata.mediaUrl as this is now included in RequestMetadata.
    • Add Player.Command.COMMAND_SET_MEDIA_ITEM to enable players to allow setting a single item.
  • Track selection:
    • Flatten TrackSelectionOverrides class into TrackSelectionParameters, and promote TrackSelectionOverride to a top level class.
    • Rename TracksInfo to Tracks and TracksInfo.TrackGroupInfo to Tracks.Group. Player.getCurrentTracksInfo and Player.Listener.onTracksInfoChanged have also been renamed to Player.getCurrentTracks and Player.Listener.onTracksChanged. This includes 'un-deprecating' the Player.Listener.onTracksChanged method name, but with different parameter types.
    • Change DefaultTrackSelector.buildUponParameters and DefaultTrackSelector.Parameters.buildUpon to return DefaultTrackSelector.Parameters.Builder instead of the deprecated DefaultTrackSelector.ParametersBuilder.
    • Add DefaultTrackSelector.Parameters.constrainAudioChannelCountToDeviceCapabilities which is enabled by default. When enabled, the DefaultTrackSelector will prefer audio tracks whose channel count does not exceed the device output capabilities. On handheld devices, the DefaultTrackSelector will prefer stereo/mono over multichannel audio formats, unless the multichannel format can be Spatialized (Android 12L+) or is a Dolby surround sound format. In addition, on devices that support audio spatialization, the DefaultTrackSelector will monitor for changes in the Spatializer properties and trigger a new track selection upon these. Devices with a television UI mode are excluded from these constraints and the format with the highest channel count will be preferred. To enable this feature, the DefaultTrackSelector instance must be constructed with a Context.
  • Video:
    • Rename DummySurface to PlaceholderSurface.
    • Add AV1 support to the MediaCodecVideoRenderer.getCodecMaxInputSize.
  • Audio:
    • Use LG AC3 audio decoder advertising non-standard MIME type.
    • Change the return type of AudioAttributes.getAudioAttributesV21() from android.media.AudioAttributes to a new AudioAttributesV21 wrapper class, to prevent slow ART verification on API < 21.
    • Query the platform (API 29+) or assume the audio encoding channel count for audio passthrough when the format audio channel count is unset, which occurs with HLS chunkless preparation (10204).
    • Configure AudioTrack with channel mask AudioFormat.CHANNEL_OUT_7POINT1POINT4 if the decoder outputs 12 channel PCM audio (#​10322.
  • DRM
    • Ensure the DRM session is always correctly updated when seeking immediately after a format change (10274).
  • Text:
    • Change Player.getCurrentCues() to return CueGroup instead of List<Cue>.
    • SSA: Support OutlineColour style setting when BorderStyle == 3 (i.e. OutlineColour sets the background of the cue) (#​8435).
    • CEA-708: Parse data into multiple service blocks and ignore blocks not associated with the currently selected service number.
    • Remove RawCcExtractor, which was only used to handle a Google-internal subtitle format.
  • Extractors:
    • Add support for AVI (#​2092).
    • Matroska: Parse DiscardPadding for Opus tracks.
    • MP4: Parse bitrates from esds boxes.
    • Ogg: Allow duplicate Opus ID and comment headers (#​10038).
  • UI:
    • Fix delivery of events to OnClickListeners set on StyledPlayerView and PlayerView, in the case that useController=false (#​9605). Also fix delivery of events to OnLongClickListener for all view configurations.
    • Fix incorrectly treating a sequence of touch events that exit the bounds of StyledPlayerView and PlayerView before ACTION_UP as a click (#​9861).
    • Fix PlayerView accessibility issue where tapping might toggle playback rather than hiding the controls (#​8627).
    • Rewrite TrackSelectionView and TrackSelectionDialogBuilder to work with the Player interface rather than ExoPlayer. This allows the views to be used with other Player implementations, and removes the dependency from the UI module to the ExoPlayer module. This is a breaking change.
    • Don't show forced text tracks in the PlayerView track selector, and keep a suitable forced text track selected if "None" is selected (#​9432).
  • DASH:
    • Parse channel count from DTS AudioChannelConfiguration elements. This re-enables audio passthrough for DTS streams (#​10159).
    • Disallow passing null to DashMediaSource.Factory.setCompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory. Instances of DefaultCompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory can be passed explicitly if required.
  • HLS:
    • Fallback to chunkful preparation if the playlist CODECS attribute does not contain the audio codec (#​10065).
    • Disallow passing null to HlsMediaSource.Factory.setCompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory, HlsMediaSource.Factory.setPlaylistParserFactory, and HlsMediaSource.Factory.setPlaylistTrackerFactory. Instances of DefaultCompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory, DefaultHlsPlaylistParserFactory, or a reference to DefaultHlsPlaylistTracker.FACTORY can be passed explicitly if required.
  • Smooth Streaming:
    • Disallow passing null to SsMediaSource.Factory.setCompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory. Instances of DefaultCompositeSequenceableLoaderFactory can be passed explicitly if required.
  • RTSP:
    • Add RTP reader for H263 (#​63).
    • Add RTP reader for MPEG4 (#​35).
    • Add RTP reader for HEVC (#​36).
    • Add RTP reader for AMR. Currently only mono-channel, non-interleaved AMR streams are supported. Compound AMR RTP payload is not supported. (#​46)
    • Add RTP reader for VP8 (#​47).
    • Add RTP reader for WAV (#​56).
    • Fix RTSP basic authorization header. (#​9544).
    • Stop checking mandatory SDP fields as ExoPlayer doesn't need them (#​10049).
    • Throw checked exception when parsing RTSP timing (#​10165).
    • Add RTP reader for VP9 (#​47).
    • Add RTP reader for OPUS (#​53).
  • Data sources:
    • Rename DummyDataSource to PlaceholderDataSource.
    • Workaround OkHttp interrupt handling.
  • Ad playback / IMA:
    • Decrease ad polling rate from every 100ms to every 200ms, to line up with Media Rating Council (MRC) recommendations.
  • FFmpeg extension:
    • Update CMake version to 3.21.0+ to avoid a CMake bug causing AndroidStudio's gradle sync to fail (#​9933).
  • Remove deprecated symbols:
    • Remove Player.Listener.onTracksChanged(TrackGroupArray, TrackSelectionArray). Use Player.Listener.onTracksChanged(Tracks) instead.
    • Remove Player.getCurrentTrackGroups and Player.getCurrentTrackSelections. Use Player.getCurrentTracks instead. You can also continue to use ExoPlayer.getCurrentTrackGroups and ExoPlayer.getCurrentTrackSelections, although these methods remain deprecated.
    • Remove DownloadHelper DEFAULT_TRACK_SELECTOR_PARAMETERS_WITHOUT_VIEWPORT and DEFAULT_TRACK_SELECTOR_PARAMETERS constants. Use getDefaultTrackSelectorParameters(Context) instead when possible, and DEFAULT_TRACK_SELECTOR_PARAMETERS_WITHOUT_CONTEXT otherwise.
    • Remove constructor DefaultTrackSelector(ExoTrackSelection.Factory). Use DefaultTrackSelector(Context, ExoTrackSelection.Factory) instead.
    • Remove Transformer.Builder.setContext. The Context should be passed to the Transformer.Builder constructor instead.

v2.17.1

This release corresponds to the AndroidX media3 1.0.0-alpha03 release.

  • Audio:
    • Fix error checking audio capabilities for Dolby Atmos (E-AC3-JOC) in HLS.
  • Extractors:
    • FMP4: Fix issue where emsg sample metadata could be output in the wrong order for streams containing both v0 and v1 emsg atoms (#​9996).
  • Text:
    • Fix the interaction of SingleSampleMediaSource.Factory.setTrackId and MediaItem.SubtitleConfiguration.Builder.setId to prioritise the SubtitleConfiguration field and fall back to the Factory value if it's not set (#​10016).
  • Ad playback:
    • Fix audio underruns between ad periods in live HLS SSAI streams.

v2.17.0

This release corresponds to the AndroidX media3 1.0.0-alpha02 release.

  • Core library:
    • Sleep and retry when creating a MediaCodec instance fails. This works around an issue that occurs on some devices when switching a surface from a secure codec to another codec (#​8696).
    • Add MediaCodecAdapter.getMetrics() to allow users obtain metrics data from MediaCodec. (#​9766).
    • Fix Maven dependency resolution (#​8353).
    • Disable automatic speed adjustment for live streams that neither have low-latency features nor a user request setting the speed (#​9329).
    • Rename DecoderCounters#inputBufferCount to queuedInputBufferCount.
    • Make SimpleExoPlayer.renderers private. Renderers can be accessed via ExoPlayer.getRenderer.
    • Updated some AnalyticsListener.EventFlags constant values to match values in Player.EventFlags.
    • Split AnalyticsCollector into an interface and default implementation to allow it to be stripped by R8 if an app doesn't need it.
  • Track selection:
    • Support preferred video role flags in track selection (#​9402).
    • Update video track selection logic to take preferred MIME types and role flags into account when selecting multiple video tracks for adaptation (#​9519).
    • Update video and audio track selection logic to only choose formats for adaptive selections that have the same level of decoder and hardware support (#​9565).
    • Update video track selection logic to prefer more efficient codecs if multiple codecs are supported by primary, hardware-accelerated decoders (#​4835).
    • Prefer audio content preferences (for example, the "default" audio track or a track matching the system locale language) over technical track selection constraints (for example, preferred MIME type, or maximum channel count).
    • Prohibit duplicate TrackGroups in a TrackGroupArray. TrackGroups can always be made distinguishable by setting an id in the TrackGroup constructor. This fixes a crash when resuming playback after backgrounding the app with an active track override (#​9718).
    • Amend logic in AdaptiveTrackSelection to allow a quality increase under sufficient network bandwidth even if playback is very close to the live edge (#​9784).
  • Video:
    • Fix decoder fallback logic for Dolby Vision to use a compatible H264/H265 decoder if needed.
  • Audio:
    • Fix decoder fallback logic for Dolby Atmos (E-AC3-JOC) to use a compatible E-AC3 decoder if needed.
    • Change AudioCapabilities APIs to require passing explicitly AudioCapabilities.DEFAULT_AUDIO_CAPABILITIES instead of null.
    • Allow customization of the AudioTrack buffer size calculation by injecting an AudioTrackBufferSizeProvider to DefaultAudioSink (#​8891).
    • Retry AudioTrack creation if the requested buffer size was > 1MB (#​9712).
  • Extractors:
    • Fix incorrect parsing of H.265 SPS NAL units (#​9719).
    • Parse Vorbis Comments (including METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE) in Ogg Opus and Ogg Vorbis files.
  • Text:
    • Add a MediaItem.SubtitleConfiguration.id field which is propagated to the Format.id field of the subtitle track created from the configuration (#​9673).
    • Add basic support for WebVTT subtitles in Matroska containers (#​9886).
    • Prevent Cea708Decoder from reading more than the declared size of a service block.
  • DRM:
    • Remove playbackLooper from DrmSessionManager.(pre)acquireSession. When a DrmSessionManager is used by an app in a custom MediaSource, the playbackLooper needs to be passed to DrmSessionManager.setPlayer instead.
  • Ad playback / IMA:
    • Add support for IMA Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) (#​8213).
    • Add a method to AdPlaybackState to allow resetting an ad group so that it can be played again (#​9615).
    • Enforce playback speed of 1.0 during ad playback (#​9018).
    • Fix issue where an ad group that failed to load caused an immediate playback reset (#​9929).
  • UI:
    • Fix the color of the numbers in StyledPlayerView rewind and fastforward buttons when using certain themes (#​9765).
    • Correctly translate playback speed strings (#​9811).
  • DASH:
    • Support the forced-subtitle track role (#​9727).
    • Stop interpreting the main track role as C.SELECTION_FLAG_DEFAULT.
    • Fix base URL exclusion logic for manifests that do not declare the DVB namespace (#​9856).
    • Support relative MPD.Location URLs (#​9939).
  • HLS:
    • Use chunkless preparation by default to improve start up time. If your renditions contain muxed closed-caption tracks that are not declared in the master playlist, you should add them to the master playlist to be available for playback, or turn off chunkless preparation with HlsMediaSource.Factory.setAllowChunklessPreparation(false).
    • Support key-frame accurate seeking in HLS (#​2882).
    • Correctly populate Format.label for audio only HLS streams (#​9608).
  • RTSP:
    • Provide a client API to override the SocketFactory used for any server connection (#​9606).
    • Prefer DIGEST authentication method over BASIC if both are present (#​9800).
    • Handle when RTSP track timing is not available (#​9775).
    • Ignore invalid RTP-Info header values (#​9619).
  • Transformer:
    • Increase required min API version to 21.
    • TransformationException is now used to describe errors that occur during a transformation.
    • Add TransformationRequest for specifying the transformation options.
    • Allow multiple listeners to be registered.
    • Fix Transformer being stuck when the codec output is partially read.
    • Fix potential NPE in Transformer.getProgress when releasing the muxer throws.
    • Add a demo app for applying transformations.
    • The transformer module is no longer included by depending on com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer. To continue using transformer, add an additional dependency on com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-transformer.
  • MediaSession extension:
    • By default, MediaSessionConnector now clears the playlist on stop. Apps that want the playlist to be retained can call setClearMediaItemsOnStop(false) on the connector.
  • Cast extension:
    • Fix bug that prevented CastPlayer from calling onIsPlayingChanged correctly (#​9792).
    • Support audio metadata including artwork with DefaultMediaItemConverter (#​9663).
  • FFmpeg extension:
    • Make build_ffmpeg.sh depend on LLVM's bin utils instead of GNU's (#​9933).
  • Android 12 compatibility:
    • Upgrade the Cast extension to depend on com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast-framework:20.1.0. Earlier versions of play-services-cast-framework are not compatible with apps targeting Android 12, and will crash with an IllegalArgumentException when creating PendingIntents (#​9528).
  • Remove deprecated symbols:
    • Remove Player.EventListener. Use Player.Listener instead.
    • Remove MediaSourceFactory.setDrmSessionManager, MediaSourceFactory.setDrmHttpDataSourceFactory, and MediaSourceFactory.setDrmUserAgent. Use MediaSourceFactory.setDrmSessionManagerProvider instead.
    • Remove MediaSourceFactory.setStreamKeys. Use MediaItem.Builder.setStreamKeys instead.
    • Remove MediaSourceFactory.createMediaSource(Uri). Use MediaSourceFactory.createMediaSource(MediaItem) instead.
    • Remove setTag from DashMediaSource, HlsMediaSource and SsMediaSource. Use MediaItem.Builder.setTag instead.
    • Remove DashMediaSource.setLivePresentationDelayMs(long, boolean). Use MediaItem.Builder.setLiveConfiguration and MediaItem.LiveConfiguration.Builder.setTargetOffsetMs to override the manifest, or DashMediaSource.setFallbackTargetLiveOffsetMs to provide a fallback value.
    • Remove (Simple)ExoPlayer.setThrowsWhenUsingWrongThread. Opting out of the thread enforcement is no longer possible.
    • Remove ActionFile and ActionFileUpgradeUtil. Use ExoPlayer 2.16.1 or before to use ActionFileUpgradeUtil to merge legacy action files into DefaultDownloadIndex.
    • Remove ProgressiveMediaSource.setExtractorsFactory. Use ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory(DataSource.Factory, ExtractorsFactory) constructor instead.
    • Remove ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory.setTag and ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory.setCustomCacheKey. Use MediaItem.Builder.setTag and MediaItem.Builder.setCustomCacheKey instead.
    • Remove DefaultRenderersFactory(Context, @&#8203;ExtensionRendererMode int) and DefaultRenderersFactory(Context, @&#8203;ExtensionRendererMode int, long) constructors. Use the DefaultRenderersFactory(Context) constructor, DefaultRenderersFactory.setExtensionRendererMode, and DefaultRenderersFactory.setAllowedVideoJoiningTimeMs instead.
    • Remove all public CronetDataSource constructors. Use CronetDataSource.Factory instead.
  • Change the following IntDefs to @Target(TYPE_USE) only. This may break the compilation of usages in Kotlin, which can be fixed by moving the annotation to annotate the type (Int).

v2.16.1

  • Core Library:
    • Fix track selection issue where overriding one track group did not disable other track groups of the same type (#​9675).
    • Fix track selection issue where a mixture of non-empty and empty track overrides is not applied correctly (#​9649).
    • Add protected method DefaultRenderersFactory.getCodecAdapterFactory() so that subclasses of DefaultRenderersFactory that override buildVideoRenderers() or buildAudioRenderers() can access the codec adapter factory and pass it to MediaCodecRenderer instances they create.
    • Propagate ICY header fields name and genre to MediaMetadata.station and MediaMetadata.genre respectively so that they reach the app via Player.Listener.onMediaMetadataChanged() (#​9677).
    • Remove null keys from DefaultHttpDataSource#getResponseHeaders.
  • Extractors:
    • WAV: Add support for RF64 streams (#​9543).
  • DASH:
    • Add parsed essential and supplemental properties to the Representation (#​9579).
  • HLS:
    • Correctly populate Format.label for audio only HLS streams (#​9608).

v2.16.0

  • Core Library:
    • Deprecate SimpleExoPlayer. All functionality has been moved to ExoPlayer instead. ExoPlayer.Builder can be used instead of SimpleExoPlayer.Builder.
    • Add track selection methods to the Player interface, for example, Player.getCurrentTracksInfo and Player.setTrackSelectionParameters. These methods can be used instead of directly accessing the track selector.
    • Enable MediaCodec asynchronous queueing by default on devices with API level >= 31. Add methods in DefaultMediaCodecRendererFactory and DefaultRenderersFactory to force enable or force disable asynchronous queueing (6348).
    • Remove final dependency on jcenter().
    • Fix mediaMetadata being reset when media is repeated (#​9458).
    • Adjust ExoPlayer MediaMetadata update priority, such that values input through the MediaItem.MediaMetadata are used above media derived values.
    • Move com.google.android.exoplayer2.device.DeviceInfo to com.google.android.exoplayer2.DeviceInfo.
    • Move com.google.android.exoplayer2.drm.DecryptionException to com.google.android.exoplayer2.decoder.CryptoException.
    • Move com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.cache.CachedRegionTracker to com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.CachedRegionTracker.
    • Move Player.addListener(EventListener) and Player.removeListener(EventListener) out of Player into subclasses.
  • Android 12 compatibility:
    • Keep DownloadService started and in the foreground whilst waiting for requirements to be met on Android 12. This is necessary due to new foreground service launch restrictions. DownloadService.getScheduler will not be called on Android 12 devices.
    • Disable platform transcoding when playing content URIs on Android 12.
    • Add ExoPlayer.setVideoChangeFrameRateStrategy to allow disabling of calls from the player to Surface.setFrameRate. This is useful for applications wanting to call Surface.setFrameRate directly from application code with Android 12's Surface.CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_ALWAYS.
    • Upgrade the WorkManager extension to depend on androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.0. Earlier versions of work-runtime are not compatible with apps targeting Android 12, and will crash with an IllegalArgumentException when creating PendingIntents (#​9181).
  • Video:
    • Fix bug in MediaCodecVideoRenderer that resulted in re-using a released Surface when playing without an app-provided Surface (#​9476).
  • DRM:
    • Log an error (instead of throwing IllegalStateException) when calling DefaultDrmSession#release() on a fully released session (#​9392).
  • UI:
    • SubtitleView no longer implements TextOutput. SubtitleView implements Player.Listener, so can be registered to a player with Player.addListener.
    • Fix initial timestamp display in PlayerControlView (#​9524).
    • Fix capitalization of languages in the track selector (#​9452).
  • Extractors:
    • MP4: Correctly handle HEVC tracks with pixel aspect ratios other than 1.
    • MP4: Add support for Dolby TrueHD (only for unfragmented streams) (#​9496).
    • MP4: Avoid throwing ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when parsing invalid colr boxes produced by some device cameras (#​9332).
    • MP4: Parse HDR static metadata from the clli and mdcv boxes.
    • TS: Correctly handle HEVC tracks with pixel aspect ratios other than 1.
    • TS: Map stream type 0x80 to H262 (#​9472).
  • Downloads and caching:
    • Modify DownloadService behavior when DownloadService.getScheduler returns null, or returns a Scheduler that does not support the requirements for downloads to continue. In both cases, DownloadService will now remain started and in the foreground whilst waiting for requirements to be met.
    • Modify DownloadService behavior when running on Android 12 and above. See the "Android 12 compatibility" section above.
  • RTSP:
    • Support RFC4566 SDP attribute field grammar (#​9430).
  • DASH:
    • Populate Format.sampleMimeType, width and height for image AdaptationSet elements (#​9500).
  • HLS:
    • Fix rounding error in HLS playlists (#​9575).
    • Fix NoSuchElementException thrown when an HLS manifest declares #EXT-X-RENDITION-REPORT at the beginning of the playlist (#​9592).
  • RTMP extension:
    • Upgrade to io.antmedia:rtmp_client, which does not rely on jcenter() (#​9591).
  • MediaSession extension:
    • Rename MediaSessionConnector.QueueNavigator#onCurrentWindowIndexChanged to onCurrentMediaItemIndexChanged.
  • Transformer:
    • Avoid sending a duplicate timestamp to the encoder with the end of stream buffer.
  • Remove deprecated symbols:
    • Remove Renderer.VIDEO_SCALING_MODE_* constants. Use identically named constants in C instead.
    • Remove C.MSG_* constants. Use identically named constants in Renderer instead, except for C.MSG_SET_SURFACE, which is replaced with Renderer.MSG_SET_VIDEO_OUTPUT.
    • Remove DeviceListener. Use Player.Listener instead.
    • Remove CacheDataSourceFactory. Use CacheDataSource.Factory instead.
    • Remove CacheDataSinkFactory. Use CacheDataSink.Factory instead.
    • Remove FileDataSourceFactory. Use FileDataSource.Factory instead.
    • Remove SimpleExoPlayer.addMetadataOutput and removeMetadataOutput. Use Player.addListener and Player.Listener instead.
    • Remove SimpleExoPlayer.addAudioListener, removeAudioListener and AudioListener. Use Player.addListener and Player.Listener instead.
    • Remove SimpleExoPlayer.addVideoListener, removeVideoListener and VideoListener. Use Player.addListener and Player.Listener instead.
    • Remove DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory. Use DefaultHttpDataSource.Factory instead.
    • Remove SingleSampleMediaSource.createMediaSource(Uri, Format, long). Use SingleSampleMediaSource.createMediaSource(MediaItem.Subtitle, long) instead.
    • Remove HttpDataSource.Factory.getDefaultRequestProperties. Use HttpDataSource.Factory.setDefaultRequestProperties instead.
    • Remove GvrAudioProcessor and the GVR extension, which has been deprecated since 2.11.0.
    • Remove DownloadService.onDownloadChanged and DownloadService.onDownloadRemoved. Instead, use DownloadManager.addListener to register a listener directly to the DownloadManager returned through DownloadService.getDownloadManager.
    • Remove Player.getCurrentStaticMetadata, Player.Listener.onStaticMetadataChanged and Player.EVENT_STATIC_METADATA_CHANGED. Use Player.getMediaMetadata, Player.Listener.onMediaMetadataChanged and Player.EVENT_MEDIA_METADATA_CHANGED for convenient access to structured metadata, or access the raw static metadata directly from the TrackSelection#getFormat().
    • Remove ControlDispatcher and DefaultControlDispatcher. Operations can be customized by using a ForwardingPlayer, or when configuring the player (for example by using ExoPlayer.Builder.setSeekBackIncrementMs).

v2.15.1

  • Core Library:
    • Fix track selection in StyledPlayerControlView when using ForwardingPlayer.
    • Fix FlagSet#equals on API levels below 24.
    • Fix NullPointerException being thrown from CacheDataSource when reading a fully cached resource with DataSpec.position equal to the resource length.
    • Fix a bug when depending on ExoPlayer locally with a relative path (#​9403).
    • Better handle invalid seek requests. Seeks to positions that are before the start or after the end of the media are now handled as seeks to the start and end respectively (8906).
    • Rename MimeTypes.AUDIO_DTS_UHD to MimeTypes.AUDIO_DTS_X and add required profile to its value (#​9429).
  • Extractors:
    • Support TS packets without PTS flag (#​9294).
    • Fix issue decoding ID3 tags containing UTF-16 encoded strings (#​9087).
  • Video:
    • Request smaller decoder input buffers for Dolby Vision. This fixes an issue that could cause UHD Dolby Vision playbacks to fail on some devices, including Amazon Fire TV 4K.
  • DRM:
    • Fix DefaultDrmSessionManager to correctly eagerly release preacquired DRM sessions when there's a shortage of DRM resources on the device.
  • Downloads and caching:
    • Workaround platform issue that can cause a SecurityException to be thrown from Requirements.isInternetConnectivityValidated on devices running Android 11 (#​9002).
  • DASH:
    • Use identical cache keys for downloading and playing DASH segments (#​9370).
    • Fix base URL selection and load error handling when base URLs are shared across adaptation sets.
  • HLS:
    • Fix bug where the player would get stuck if all download attempts fail and would not raise an error to the application (#​9390).
  • RTSP:
    • Handle when additional spaces are in SDP's RTPMAP atrribute (#​9379).
    • Handle partial URIs in RTP-Info headers (#​9346).
    • Fix RTSP Session header handling (#​9416).
    • Fix RTSP WWW-Authenticate header parsing (#​9428).
  • UI:
    • Use defStyleAttr when obtaining styled attributes in StyledPlayerView, PlayerView and PlayerControlView (#​9024).
    • Fix accessibility focus in PlayerControlView (#​9111).
    • Fix issue that StyledPlayerView and PlayerView don't update UI when available player commands change.
  • Cast extension:
    • Implement CastPlayer.setPlaybackParameters(PlaybackParameters) to support setting the playback speed (#​6784).

v2.15.0

  • Core Library:
    • Add MediaCodecAdapter.needsReconfiguration method.
    • Add getSeekBackIncrement, seekBack, getSeekForwardIncrement, seekForward, getMaxSeekToPreviousPosition, seekToPrevious and seekToNext methods to Player.
    • Rename Player methods:
      • hasPrevious to hasPreviousWindow.
      • previous to seekToPreviousWindow.
      • hasNext to hasNextWindow.
      • next to seekToNextWindow.
    • Rename Player commands:
      • COMMAND_SEEK_IN_CURRENT_MEDIA_ITEM to COMMAND_SEEK_IN_CURRENT_WINDOW.
      • COMMAND_SEEK_TO_NEXT_MEDIA_ITEM to COMMAND_SEEK_TO_NEXT_WINDOW.
      • COMMAND_SEEK_TO_MREVIOUS_MEDIA_ITEM to COMMAND_SEEK_TO_MREVIOUS_WINDOW.
      • COMMAND_SEEK_TO_MEDIA_ITEM to COMMAND_SEEK_TO_WINDOW.
      • COMMAND_GET_MEDIA_ITEMS to COMMAND_GET_TIMELINE.
    • Rename Player.EventFlags IntDef to Player.Event.
    • Make Player depend on the new PlaybackException class instead of ExoPlaybackException:
      • Player.getPlayerError now returns a PlaybackException.
      • Player.Listener.onPlayerError now receives a PlaybackException.
      • Add a new listener method Player.Listener.onPlayerErrorChanged, which is equivalent to onPlayerError except that it is also called when the player error becomes null.
      • Player implementations like ExoPlayer may use PlaybackException subclasses (like ExoPlaybackException), so users can downcast the PlaybackException instance to obtain implementation-specific fields (like ExoPlaybackException.rendererIndex).
    • PlaybackException introduces an errorCode which identifies the cause of the failure in order to simplify error handling (#​1611).
    • Add a DefaultMediaDescriptionAdapter for the PlayerNotificationManager, that makes use of the Player MediaMetadata to populate the notification fields.
    • Add @FallbackType to LoadErrorHandlingPolicy to support customization of the exclusion duration for locations and tracks.
    • Change interface of LoadErrorHandlingPolicy to support configuring the behavior of track and location fallback. Location fallback is currently only supported for DASH manifests with multiple base URLs.
    • Restrict use of AudioTrack.isDirectPlaybackSupported to TVs, to avoid listing audio offload encodings as supported for passthrough mode on mobile devices (#​9239).
  • Extractors:
    • Add support for DTS-UHD in MP4 (#​9163).
  • Text:
    • TTML: Inherit the rubyPosition value from a containing <span ruby="container"> element.
    • WebVTT: Add support for CSS font-size property (#​8964).
  • Ad playback:
    • Support changing ad break positions in the player logic (#​5067).
    • Support resuming content with an offset after an ad group.
  • UI:
    • Add setUseRewindAction and setUseFastForwardAction to PlayerNotificationManager, and setUseFastForwardActionInCompactView and setUseRewindActionInCompactView to show the actions in compact view mode.
    • Remove rewind_increment and fastforward_increment attributes from PlayerControlView and StyledPlayerControlView. These increments can be customized by configuring the Player (see setSeekBackIncrementMs and setSeekForwardIncrementMs in SimpleExoPlayer.Builder), or by using a ForwardingPlayer that overrides getSeekBackIncrement, seekBack, getSeekForwardIncrement and seekForward. The rewind and fast forward buttons can be disabled by using a ForwardingPlayer that removes COMMAND_SEEK_BACK and COMMAND_SEEK_FORWARD from the available commands.
    • Update DefaultControlDispatcher getRewindIncrementMs and getFastForwardIncrementMs to take the player as parameter.
  • DASH:
    • Add support for multiple base URLs and DVB attributes in the manifest. Apps that are using DefaultLoadErrorHandlingPolicy with such manifests have base URL fallback automatically enabled (#​771, #​7654).
  • HLS:
    • Fix issue that could cause some playbacks to be stuck buffering (#​8850, #​9153).
    • Report audio track type in AnalyticsListener.onDownstreamFormatChanged() for audio-only playlists, so that the PlaybackStatsListener can derive audio format-related information (#​9175).
  • RTSP:
    • Use standard RTSP header names (#​9182).
    • Handle an extra semicolon in SDP fmtp attribute (#​9247).
    • Fix handling of special characters in the RTSP session ID (#​9254).
  • SmoothStreaming:
    • Propagate StreamIndex element Name attribute value as Format label (#​9252).
  • Cronet extension:
    • Add CronetDataSource.Factory.setRequestPriority to allow setting the priority of requests made by CronetDataSource instances.
  • OkHttp extension:
    • Switch to OkHttp 4.9.1. This increases the extension's minimum SDK version requirement from 16 to 21.
  • Remove deprecated symbols:
    • Remove CastPlayer specific playlist manipulation methods. Use setMediaItems, addMediaItems, removeMediaItem and moveMediaItem instead.
    • Remove Format.create methods. Use Format.Builder instead.
    • Remove MediaSource.getTag. Use MediaSource.getMediaItem and MediaItem.PlaybackProperties.tag instead.
    • Remove PlaybackPreparer. UI components that previously had setPlaybackPreparer methods will now call Player.prepare by default. If this behavior is sufficient, use of PlaybackPreparer can be removed from application code without replacement. For custom preparation logic, use a ForwardingPlayer that implements custom preparation logic in prepare.
    • Remove Player.Listener.onTimelineChanged(Timeline, Object, int). Use Player.Listener.onTimelineChanged(Timeline, int) instead. The manifest can be accessed using Player.getCurrentManifest.
    • Remove Player.getCurrentTag. Use Player.getCurrentMediaItem and MediaItem.PlaybackProperties.tag instead.
    • Remove Player.getPlaybackError. Use Player.getPlayerError instead.
    • Remove PlayerNotificationManager constructors and createWith methods. Use PlayerNotificationManager.Builder instead.
    • Remove PlayerNotificationManager.setNotificationListener. Use PlayerNotificationManager.Builder.setNotificationListener instead.
    • Remove PlayerNotificationManager setUseNavigationActions and setUseNavigationActionsInCompactView. Use setUseNextAction, setUsePreviousAction, setUseNextActionInCompactView and setUsePreviousActionInCompactView instead.
    • Remove setRewindIncrementMs and setFastForwardIncrementMs from UI components. These increments can be customized by configuring the Player (see setSeekBackIncrementMs and setSeekForwardIncrementMs in SimpleExoPlayer.Builder), or by using a ForwardingPlayer that overrides getSeekBackIncrement, seekBack, getSeekForwardIncrement and seekForward. The rewind and fast forward buttons can be disabled by using a ForwardingPlayer that removes COMMAND_SEEK_BACK and COMMAND_SEEK_FORWARD from the available commands.
    • Remove Timeline.getWindow(int, Window, boolean). Use Timeline.getWindow(int, Window) instead, which will always set tags.
