Media3: v1.1.0-rc01

June 21, 2023

androidx.media3:media3-*:1.1.0-rc01 is released. Version 1.1.0-rc01 contains these commits.

• ExoPlayer:
  • Add support for including Common Media Client Data (CMCD) in the outgoing requests of adaptive streaming formats DASH, HLS, and SmoothStreaming. The following fields, br, bl, cid, rtp, and sid, have been incorporated (#8699). API structure and API methods:
    • CMCD logging is disabled by default, use MediaSource.Factory.setCmcdConfigurationFactory(CmcdConfiguration.Factory cmcdConfigurationFactory) to enable it.
    • All keys are enabled by default, override CmcdConfiguration.RequestConfig.isKeyAllowed(String key) to filter out which keys are logged.
    • Override CmcdConfiguration.RequestConfig.getCustomData() to enable custom key logging.
  • Add additional action to manifest of main demo to make it easier to start the demo app with a custom *.exolist.json file (#439).
• Extractors:
  • FMP4: Fix issue where TimestampAdjuster initializes a wrong timestamp offset with metadata sample time from emsg atom (#356).
• Session:
  • Add default implementation to MediaSession.Callback.onAddMediaItems to allow requested MediaItems to be passed onto Player if they have LocalConfiguration (e.g. URI) (#282).
  • Add "seek to previous" and "seek to next" command buttons on compact media notification view by default for Android 12 and below (#410).
• DASH Extension:
  • Fix a bug where re-preparing a multi-period live Dash media source produced a IndexOutOfBoundsException (#10838).
• HLS Extension:
  • Add HlsMediaSource.Factory.setTimestampAdjusterInitializationTimeoutMs(long) to set a timeout for the loading thread to wait for the TimestampAdjuster to initialize. If the initialization doesn't complete before the timeout, a PlaybackException is thrown to avoid the playback endless stalling. The timeout is set to zero by default (#323).
• Remove deprecated symbols:
  • Remove deprecated MediaItem.PlaybackProperties, use MediaItem.LocalConfiguration instead. Deprecated field MediaItem.playbackProperties is now of type MediaItem.LocalConfiguration.

Activity: v1.8.0-alpha05

June 7, 2023

androidx.activity:activity:1.8.0-alpha05, androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.8.0-alpha05, and androidx.activity:activity-ktx:1.8.0-alpha05 are released. This version is developed in an internal branch.

Note: This version will only compile against the Android 14 (Upside Down Cake) Beta 1 SDK or higher.

API Changes

• Activity now provides a BackEventCompat class that serves as a backward compatible version of BackEvent that is decoupled from the framework BackEvent class.
• Breaking change: The handleOnBackStarted and handleOnBackProgressed methods of OnBackPressedCallback now receive an androidx.activity.BackEventCompat instance rather than a framework android.window.BackEvent class. The equivalent @VisibleForTesting APIs on OnBackPressedDispatcher have also been updated.
• The constructor for OnBackPressedDispatcher now takes an optional Consumer<Boolean> instance that allows the owners of the dispatcher to receive a callback whenever the number of enabled callbacks changes from zero to non-zero or vice versa.

Bug Fixes

• Added property to skip baseline profile generation. Usage: ./gradlew assemble -Pandroidx.baselineprofile.skipgeneration. (I37fda, b/283447020)

API Changes

• The collectBaselineProfile API always generates stable baseline profiles. The collectStableBaselineProfile API has been removed and collectBaselineProfile should be used instead. (I17262, b/281078707)
• Changed BaselineProfileRule's filterPredicate arg to non-null, with a equivalent default value so that the default filter behavior is more clear in docs. (I3816e)

Bug Fixes

• Disable IsolationActivity and Perfetto tracing in dryRunMode to significantly improve performance, as these were majority of runtime. (Ie4f7d)
• Support for call stack sampling in Macrobenchmarks using instrumentation test arguments androidx.benchmark.profiling.mode=StackSampling and androidx.benchmark.profiling.sampleFrequency. (I1d13b, b/282188489)

Media3: v1.1.0-beta01

June 7, 2023

androidx.media3:media3-*:1.1.0-beta01 is released. Version 1.1.0-beta01 contains these commits.

• Common Library:
  • Add Player.replaceMediaItem(s) as a shortcut to adding and removing items at the same position (#8046).
• ExoPlayer:
  • Add FilteringMediaSource that allows to filter available track types from a MediaSource.
  • Add ExoPlayer.setVideoFrameProcessorFactory() for using Effect with a custom VideoFrameProcessor.Factory during video playback.
• Extractors:
  • Ogg: Fix bug when seeking in files with a long duration (#391).
• Audio:
  • Add direct playback support for DTS Express and DTS:X (#335).
• Audio Offload:
  • Add AudioSink.getFormatOffloadSupport(Format) that retrieves level of offload support the sink can provide for the format through a DefaultAudioOffloadSupportProvider. It returns the new AudioOffloadSupport that contains isFormatSupported, isGaplessSupported, and isSpeedChangeSupported.
  • Add AudioSink.setOffloadMode() through which the offload configuration on the audio sink is configured. Default is AudioSink.OFFLOAD_MODE_DISABLED.
  • Offload can be enabled through setAudioOffloadPreference in TrackSelectionParameters. If the set preference is to enable, the device supports offload for the format, and the track selection is a single audio track, then audio offload will be enabled.
  • Remove parameter enableOffload from DefaultRenderersFactory.buildAudioSink method signature.
  • Remove method DefaultAudioSink.Builder.setOffloadMode.
  • Remove intdef value DefaultAudioSink.OffloadMode.OFFLOAD_MODE_ENABLED_GAPLESS_DISABLED.
• Video:
  • Make MediaCodecVideoRenderer report a VideoSize with a width and height of 0 when the renderer is disabled. Player.Listener.onVideoSizeChanged is called accordingly when Player.getVideoSize() changes. With this change, ExoPlayer's video size with MediaCodecVideoRenderer has a width and height of 0 when Player.getCurrentTracks does not support video, or the size of the supported video track is not yet determined.
• IMA extension:
  • Enable multi-period live DASH streams for DAI. Please note that the current implementation does not yet support seeking in live streams (#10912).
• Session:
  • Add androidx.media3.session.MediaButtonReceiver to enable apps to implement playback resumption with media button events sent by, for example, a Bluetooth headset (#167).
• RTSP Extension:
  • Use base Uri for relative path resolution from the RTSP session if present in DESCRIBE response header (#11160).
• Remove deprecated symbols:
  • Remove two deprecated SimpleCache constructors, use a non-deprecated constructor that takes a DatabaseProvider instead for better performance.
  • Remove DefaultBandwidthMeter constructor, use DefaultBandwidthMeter.Builder instead.
  • Remove DefaultDrmSessionManager constructors, use DefaultDrmSessionManager.Builder instead.
  • Remove two deprecated HttpDataSource.InvalidResponseCodeException constructors, use a non-deprecated constructor that accepts additional fields(cause, responseBody) to enhance error logging.
  • Remove DownloadHelper.forProgressive, DownloadHelper.forHls, DownloadHelper.forDash, and DownloadHelper.forSmoothStreaming, use DownloadHelper.forMediaItem instead.
  • Remove deprecated DownloadService constructor, use a non deprecated constructor that includes the option to provide a channelDescriptionResourceId parameter.
  • Remove deprecated String constants for Charsets (ASCII_NAME, UTF8_NAME, ISO88591_NAME, UTF16_NAME and UTF16LE_NAME), use Kotlin Charsets from the kotlin.text package, the java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets or the com.google.common.base.Charsets instead.
  • Remove deprecated WorkManagerScheduler constructor, use a non deprecated constructor that includes the option to provide a Context parameter instead.
  • Remove the deprecated methods createVideoSampleFormat, createAudioSampleFormat, createContainerFormat, and createSampleFormat, which were used to instantiate the Format class. Instead use Format.Builder for creating instances of Format.
  • Remove the deprecated methods copyWithMaxInputSize, copyWithSubsampleOffsetUs, copyWithLabel, copyWithManifestFormatInfo, copyWithGaplessInfo, copyWithFrameRate, copyWithDrmInitData, copyWithMetadata, copyWithBitrate and copyWithVideoSize, use Format.buildUpon() and setter methods instead.
  • Remove deprecated ExoPlayer.retry(), use prepare() instead.
  • Remove deprecated zero-arg DefaultTrackSelector constructor, use DefaultTrackSelector(Context) instead.
  • Remove deprecated OfflineLicenseHelper constructor, use OfflineLicenseHelper(DefaultDrmSessionManager, DrmSessionEventListener.EventDispatcher) instead.
  • Remove deprecated DownloadManager constructor, use the constructor that takes an Executor instead.
  • Remove deprecated Cue constructors, use Cue.Builder instead.
  • Remove deprecated OfflineLicenseHelper constructor, use OfflineLicenseHelper(DefaultDrmSessionManager, DrmSessionEventListener.EventDispatcher) instead.
  • Remove four deprecated AnalyticsListener methods:
    • onDecoderEnabled, use onAudioEnabled and/or onVideoEnabled instead.
    • onDecoderInitialized, use onAudioDecoderInitialized and/or onVideoDecoderInitialized instead.
    • onDecoderInputFormatChanged, use onAudioInputFormatChanged and/or onVideoInputFormatChanged instead.
