1.0.2

This release corresponds to the ExoPlayer 2.18.7 release.

This release contains the following changes since the 1.0.1 release:

• Core library:
  • Add Buffer.isLastSample() that denotes if Buffer contains flag C.BUFFER_FLAG_LAST_SAMPLE.
  • Fix issue where last frame may not be rendered if the last sample with frames is dequeued without reading the 'end of stream' sample. (#11079).
• Extractors:
  • Fix parsing of H.265 SPS in MPEG-TS files by re-using the parsing logic already used by RTSP and MP4 extractors (#303).
• Text:
  • SSA: Add support for UTF-16 files if they start with a byte order mark (#319).
• Session:
  • Fix issue where MediaController doesn't update its available commands when connected to a legacy MediaSessionCompat that updates its actions.
  • Fix bug that prevented the MediaLibraryService from returning null for a call from System UI to Callback.onGetLibraryRoot with params.isRecent == true on API 30 (#355).
  • Fix memory leak of MediaSessionService or MediaLibraryService (#346).
  • Fix bug where a combined Timeline and position update in a MediaSession may cause a MediaController to throw an IllegalStateException.

1.1.0-alpha01

• Core library:
  • Add suppression reason for unsuitable audio route and play when ready change reason for suppressed too long. (#15).
  • Add ExoPlayer.setVideoEffects() for using Effect during video playback.
  • Update SampleQueue to store sourceId as a long rather than an int. This changes the signatures of public methods SampleQueue.sourceId and SampleQueue.peekSourceId.
  • Add parameters to LoadControl methods shouldStartPlayback and onTracksSelected that allow associating these methods with the relevant MediaPeriod.
  • Change signature of ServerSideAdInsertionMediaSource.setAdPlaybackStates(Map<Object, AdPlaybackState>) by adding a timeline parameter that contains the periods with the UIDs used as keys in the map. This is required to avoid concurrency issues with multi-period live streams.
  • Deprecate EventDispatcher.withParameters(int windowIndex, @Nullable MediaPeriodId mediaPeriodId, long mediaTimeOffsetMs) and BaseMediaSource.createEventDispatcher(..., long mediaTimeOffsetMs). The variant of the methods without the mediaTimeOffsetUs can be called instead. Note that even for the deprecated variants, the offset is not anymore added to startTimeUs and endTimeUs of the MediaLoadData objects that are dispatched by the dispatcher.
  • Rename ExoTrackSelection.blacklist to excludeTrack and isBlacklisted to isTrackExcluded.
  • Deprecate Player.COMMAND_GET_MEDIA_ITEMS_METADATA and COMMAND_SET_MEDIA_ITEMS_METADATA. Use COMMAND_GET_METADATA and COMMAND_SET_PLAYLIST_METADATA instead.
  • Add Buffer.isLastSample() that denotes if Buffer contains flag C.BUFFER_FLAG_LAST_SAMPLE.
  • Fix issue where last frame may not be rendered if the last sample with frames is dequeued without reading the 'end of stream' sample. (#11079).
  • Add Builder for DeviceInfo and deprecate existing constructor.
  • Add DeviceInfo.routingControllerId to specify the routing controller ID for remote playbacks.
  • Fix inconsistent behavior between ExoPlayer.setMediaItem(s) and addMediaItem(s) when called on an empty playlist.
• Extractors:
  • Fix parsing of H.265 SPS in MPEG-TS files by re-using the parsing logic already used by RTSP and MP4 extractors (#303).
• Session:
  • Deprecate 4 volume-controlling methods in Player and add overloaded methods which allow users to specify volume flags:
    • void setDeviceVolume(int, int)
    • void increaseDeviceVolume(int)
    • void decreaseDeviceVolume(int)
    • void setDeviceMuted(boolean, int)
  • Fix issue where MediaController doesn't update its available commands when connected to a legacy MediaSessionCompat that updates its actions.

  • Add DefaultTrackSelector.Parameters.allowInvalidateSelectionsForRendererCapabilitiesChange which is disabled by default. When enabled, the DefaultTrackSelector will trigger a new track selection when the renderer capabilities changed.
• Audio:
  • Fix bug where some playbacks fail when tunneling is enabled and AudioProcessors are active, e.g. for gapless trimming (#10847).
  • Encapsulate Opus frames in Ogg packets in direct playbacks (offload).
  • Extrapolate current position during sleep with offload scheduling.
  • Add Renderer.release() and AudioSink.release() for releasing the resources at the end of player's lifecycle.
  • Listen to audio capabilities changes in DefaultAudioSink. Add a required parameter context in the constructor of DefaultAudioSink, with which the DefaultAudioSink will register as the listener to the AudioCapabilitiesReceiver and update its audioCapabilities property when informed with a capabilities change.
  • Propagate audio capabilities changes via a new event onAudioCapabilitiesChanged in AudioSink.Listener interface, and a new interface RendererCapabilities.Listener which triggers onRendererCapabilitiesChanged events.
  • Add ChannelMixingAudioProcessor for applying scaling/mixing to audio channels.
  • Add new int value DISCARD_REASON_AUDIO_BYPASS_POSSIBLE to DecoderDiscardReasons to discard audio decoder when bypass mode is possible after audio capabilities change.
• Metadata:
  • Deprecate MediaMetadata.folderType in favor of isBrowsable and mediaType.
• DRM:
  • Reduce the visibility of several internal-only methods on DefaultDrmSession that aren't expected to be called from outside the DRM package:
    • void onMediaDrmEvent(int)
    • void provision()
    • void onProvisionCompleted()
    • onProvisionError(Exception, boolean)
• Transformer:
  • Remove Transformer.Builder.setMediaSourceFactory(MediaSource.Factory). Use ExoPlayerAssetLoader.Factory(MediaSource.Factory) and Transformer.Builder.setAssetLoaderFactory(AssetLoader.Factory) instead.
  • Remove Transformer.startTransformation(MediaItem, ParcelFileDescriptor).

  • Query codecs via MediaCodecList instead of using findDecoder/EncoderForFormat utilities, to expand support.
  • Remove B-frame configuration in DefaultEncoderFactory because it doesn't work on some devices.
• Muxer:
  • Add a new muxer library which can be used to create an MP4 container file.
• DASH:
  • Remove the media time offset from MediaLoadData.startTimeMs and MediaLoadData.endTimeMs for multi period DASH streams.
• RTSP:
  • For MPEG4-LATM, use default profile-level-id value if absent in Describe Response SDP message (#302).
• IMA DAI extension:
• Text:
  • Fix a bug where a new ad group is inserted in live streams because the calculated content position in consecutive timelines varies slightly.
  • SSA: Add support for UTF-16 files if they start with a byte order mark (#319).
• Test Utilities:
  • Check for URI scheme case insensitivity in DataSourceContractTest.
• Remove deprecated symbols:
  • Remove DefaultAudioSink constructors, use DefaultAudioSink.Builder instead.
  • Remove HlsMasterPlaylist, use HlsMultivariantPlaylist instead.
  • Remove Player.stop(boolean). Use Player.stop() and Player.clearMediaItems() (if reset is true) instead.

1.0.0-beta01

1.0.0-beta01 (2022-06-16)

This release corresponds to the ExoPlayer 2.18.0 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:
  • 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 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 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 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).
• Session:
  • Replace MediaSession.MediaItemFiller with MediaSession.Callback.onAddMediaItems to allow asynchronous resolution of requests.
  • Support setMediaItems(s) methods when MediaController connects to a legacy media session.
  • Remove MediaController.setMediaUri and MediaSession.Callback.onSetMediaUri. The same functionality can be achieved by using MediaController.setMediaItem and MediaSession.Callback.onAddMediaItems.
  • Forward legacy MediaController calls to play media to MediaSession.Callback.onAddMediaItems instead of onSetMediaUri.
  • Add MediaNotification.Provider and DefaultMediaNotificationProvider to provide customization of the notification.
  • Add BitmapLoader and SimpleBitmapLoader for downloading artwork images.
  • Add MediaSession.setCustomLayout() to provide backwards compatibility with the legacy session.
  • Add MediaSession.setSessionExtras() to provide feature parity with legacy session.
  • Rename MediaSession.MediaSessionCallback to MediaSession.Callback, MediaLibrarySession.MediaLibrarySessionCallback to MediaLibrarySession.Callback and MediaSession.Builder.setSessionCallback to setCallback.
  • Fix NPE in MediaControllerImplLegacy ([#59](https://github.com/androidx/media/...
