Release notes
Unreleased changes
-
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 withExoPlayer.Builder.setUsePlatformDiagnostics(false).
- Enable support for Android platform diagnostics via
-
Track selection:
- Flatten
TrackSelectionOverridesclass intoTrackSelectionParameters, and promoteTrackSelectionOverrideto a top level class. - Rename
TracksInfotoTracksandTracksInfo.TrackGroupInfotoTracks.Group.Player.getCurrentTracksInfoandPlayer.Listener.onTracksInfoChangedhave also been renamed toPlayer.getCurrentTracksandPlayer.Listener.onTracksChanged.

UI:
- Fix delivery of events to
OnClickListeners set onPlayerViewandLegacyPlayerView, in the case thatuseController=false(#9605). Also fix delivery of events toOnLongClickListenerfor all view configurations. - Fix incorrectly treating a sequence of touch events that exit the bounds
of
PlayerViewandLegacyPlayerViewbeforeACTION_UPas a click (#9861). - Fix
PlayerViewaccessibility issue where it was not possible to tapping would toggle playback rather than hiding the controls (#8627). - Rewrite
TrackSelectionViewandTrackSelectionDialogBuilderto work with thePlayerinterface rather thanExoPlayer. This allows the views to be used with otherPlayerimplementations, 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
PlayerViewtrack selector, and keep a suitable forced text track selected if "None" is selected (#9432).
- Fix delivery of events to

1.0.0-alpha02 (2022-03-02)
This release corresponds to the ExoPlayer 2.17.0 release.
- Core Library:
- Add protected method
DefaultRenderersFactory.getCodecAdapterFactory()so that subclasses ofDefaultRenderersFactorythat overridebuildVideoRenderers()orbuildAudioRenderers()can access the codec adapter factory and pass it toMediaCodecRendererinstances they create. - Propagate ICY header fields
nameandgenretoMediaMetadata.stationandMediaMetadata.genrerespectively so that they reach the app viaPlayer.Listener.onMediaMetadataChanged()(#9677). - Remove null keys from
DefaultHttpDataSource#getResponseHeaders. - Sleep and retry when creating a
MediaCodecinstance 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 fromMediaCodec(#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#inputBufferCounttoqueuedInputBufferCount. - Make
SimpleExoPlayer.renderersprivate. Renderers can be accessed viaExoPlayer.getRenderer. - Updated some

- 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).
- 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).
- Prohibit duplicate
TrackGroups in aTrackGroupArray.TrackGroups can always be made distinguishable by setting anidin theTrackGroupconstructor. This fixes a crash when resuming playback after backgrounding the app with an active track override (#9718). - Amend logic in
AdaptiveTrackSelectionto 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.

- Add support for IMA Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) (#8213).
- Add a method to
AdPlaybackStateto allow resetting an ad group so that it can be played again (#9615). - Enforce playback speed of 1.0 during ad playback (#9018).

MPD.LocationURLs (#9939).
- Add parsed essential and supplemental properties to the
- HLS:
- Correctly populate
Format.labelfor audio only HLS streams (#9608). - 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
- RTSP:

TransformationRequestfor 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.getProgresswhen releasing the muxer throws. - Add a demo app for applying transformations.
- MediaSession extension:
- By default,
MediaSessionConnectornow clears the playlist on stop. Apps that want the playlist to be retained can callsetClearMediaItemsOnStop(false)on the connector.
- By default,
- Cast extension:
- FFmpeg extension:
- Make
build_ffmpeg.shdepend on LLVM's bin utils instead of GNU's (#9933).
- Make
- Android 12 compatibility:
- Upgrade the Cast extension to depend on
com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast-framework:20.1.0. Earlier versions ofplay-services-cast-frameworkare not compatible with apps targeting Android 12, and will crash with anIllegalArgumentExceptionwhen creatingPendingIntents (#9528).
- Upgrade the Cast extension to depend on

1.0.0-alpha01
AndroidX Media is the new home for media support libraries, including ExoPlayer. The first alpha contains early, functional implementations of libraries for implementing media use cases, including:
- ExoPlayer, an application-level media player for Android that is easy to customize and extend.
- Media session functionality, for exposing and controlling playbacks. This
new session module uses the same
Playerinterface as ExoPlayer. - UI components for building media playback user interfaces.
- Modules wrapping functionality in other libraries for use with ExoPlayer, for example, ad insertion via the IMA SDK.
ExoPlayer was previously hosted in a separate
ExoPlayer GitHub project. In AndroidX
Media its package name is androidx.media3.exoplayer. We plan to continue to
maintain and release the ExoPlayer GitHub project for a while to give apps time
to migrate. AndroidX Media has replacements for all the ExoPlayer modules,
except for the legacy media2 and mediasession extensions, which are together
replaced by the new media3-session module. This provides direct integration
between players and media sessions without needing to use an adapter/connector
class.
