Release notes

Sourced from com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-smoothstreaming's releases.

r2.18.4

This release corresponds to the AndroidX Media3 1.0.0-rc02 release.

• Core library:
  • Fix network type detection on API 33 (#10970).
  • Fix NullPointerException when calling ExoPlayer.isTunnelingEnabled (#10977).
• Downloads:
  • Make the maximum difference of the start time of two segments to be merged configurable in SegmentDownloader and subclasses (#248).
• Audio:
  • Fix broken gapless MP3 playback on Samsung devices (#8594).
  • Fix bug where playback speeds set immediately after disabling audio may be overridden by a previous speed change (#10882).
• Video:
  • Map HEVC HDR10 format to HEVCProfileMain10HDR10 instead of HEVCProfileMain10.
  • Add workaround for a device issue on Chromecast with Google TV and Lenovo M10 FHD Plus that causes 60fps AVC streams to be marked as unsupported (#10898).
  • Fix frame release performance issues when playing media with a frame rate far higher than the screen refresh rate.
• Cast:
  • Fix transient STATE_IDLE when transitioning between media items (#245).
• RTSP:
  • Catch the IllegalArgumentException thrown in parsing of invalid RTSP Describe response messages (#10971).
• IMA extension:
  • Fix a bug which prevented DAI streams without any ads from starting because the first (and in the case without ads the only) LOADED event wasn't received.

r2.18.3

• Core library:
  • Tweak the renderer's decoder ordering logic to uphold the MediaCodecSelector's preferences, even if a decoder reports it may not be able to play the media performantly. For example with default selector, hardware decoder with only functional support will be preferred over software decoder that fully supports the format (#10604).
  • Add ExoPlayer.Builder.setPlaybackLooper that sets a pre-existing playback thread for a new ExoPlayer instance.
  • Allow download manager helpers to be cleared (#10776).
  • Add parameter to BasePlayer.seekTo to also indicate the command used for seeking.
  • Use theme when loading drawables on API 21+ (#220).
  • Add ConcatenatingMediaSource2 that allows combining multiple media items into a single window (#247).
• Extractors:
  • Throw a ParserException instead of a NullPointerException if the sample table (stbl) is missing a required sample description (stsd) when parsing trak atoms.
  • Correctly skip samples when seeking directly to a sync frame in fMP4 (#10941).
• Audio:
  • Use the compressed audio format bitrate to calculate the min buffer size for AudioTrack in direct playbacks (passthrough).
• Text:
  • Fix TextRenderer passing an invalid (negative) index to Subtitle.getEventTime if a subtitle file contains no cues.
  • SubRip: Add support for UTF-16 files if they start with a byte order mark.
• Metadata:
  • Parse multiple null-separated values from ID3 frames, as permitted by ID3 v2.4.
  • Add MediaMetadata.mediaType to denote the type of content or the type of folder described by the metadata.
  • Add MediaMetadata.isBrowsable as a replacement for MediaMetadata.folderType. The folder type will be deprecated in the next release.
• DASH:
  • Add full parsing for image adaptation sets, including tile counts (#3752).
• UI:
  • Fix the deprecated StyledPlayerView.setControllerVisibilityListener(StyledPlayerControlView.VisibilityListener) to ensure visibility changes are passed to the registered listener (#229).
  • Fix the ordering of the center player controls in StyledPlayerView when using a right-to-left (RTL) layout (#227).
• Cast extension:
  • Bump Cast SDK version to 21.2.0.
• IMA extension:

... (truncated)
