public interface MediaSource

Defines and provides media to be played by an ExoPlayer. A MediaSource has two main responsibilities:

• To provide the player with a Timeline defining the structure of its media, and to provide a new timeline whenever the structure of the media changes. The MediaSource provides these timelines by calling MediaSource.SourceInfoRefreshListener.onSourceInfoRefreshed(com.google.android.exoplayer2.source.MediaSource, com.google.android.exoplayer2.Timeline, java.lang.Object) on the MediaSource.SourceInfoRefreshListeners passed to prepareSource(ExoPlayer, boolean, SourceInfoRefreshListener).
• To provide MediaPeriod instances for the periods in its timeline. MediaPeriods are obtained by calling createPeriod(MediaPeriodId, Allocator), and provide a way for the player to load and read the media.

All methods are called on the player's internal playback thread, as described in the ExoPlayer Javadoc. They should not be called directly from application code. Instances can be re-used, but only for one ExoPlayer instance simultaneously.

Method Detail

addEventListener

void addEventListener(android.os.Handler handler,
                      MediaSourceEventListener eventListener)

Adds a MediaSourceEventListener to the list of listeners which are notified of media source events.

Parameters:

handler - A handler on the which listener events will be posted.

eventListener - The listener to be added.

removeEventListener

void removeEventListener(MediaSourceEventListener eventListener)

Removes a MediaSourceEventListener from the list of listeners which are notified of media source events.

Parameters:

eventListener - The listener to be removed.

prepareSource

void prepareSource(ExoPlayer player,
                   boolean isTopLevelSource,
                   MediaSource.SourceInfoRefreshListener listener)

Starts source preparation if not yet started, and adds a listener for timeline and/or manifest updates.

Should not be called directly from application code.

The listener will be also be notified if the source already has a timeline and/or manifest.

For each call to this method, a call to releaseSource(SourceInfoRefreshListener) is needed to remove the listener and to release the source if no longer required.

Parameters:

player - The player for which this source is being prepared.

isTopLevelSource - Whether this source has been passed directly to ExoPlayer.prepare(MediaSource) or ExoPlayer.prepare(MediaSource, boolean, boolean). If false, this source is being prepared by another source (e.g. ConcatenatingMediaSource) for composition.

listener - The listener to be added.

maybeThrowSourceInfoRefreshError

void maybeThrowSourceInfoRefreshError()
                               throws java.io.IOException

Throws any pending error encountered while loading or refreshing source information.

Should not be called directly from application code.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

createPeriod

MediaPeriod createPeriod(MediaSource.MediaPeriodId id,
                         Allocator allocator)

Returns a new MediaPeriod identified by periodId. This method may be called multiple times with the same period identifier without an intervening call to releasePeriod(MediaPeriod).

Should not be called directly from application code.

Parameters:

id - The identifier of the period.

allocator - An Allocator from which to obtain media buffer allocations.

Returns:

A new MediaPeriod.

releasePeriod

void releasePeriod(MediaPeriod mediaPeriod)

Releases the period.

Should not be called directly from application code.

Parameters:

mediaPeriod - The period to release.

releaseSource

void releaseSource(MediaSource.SourceInfoRefreshListener listener)

Removes a listener for timeline and/or manifest updates and releases the source if no longer required.

Should not be called directly from application code.

Parameters:

listener - The listener to be removed.
