Upgrades to latests version of ExoPlayer requires a significative amount of changes. The project is no longer maintained from our end.

A simplified Android Player wrapper for MediaPlayer and ExoPlayer.

Description

Some of the benefits are:

• Unified playback interface and event listeners for ExoPlayer and MediaPlayer
• MediaPlayer buffering
• ExoPlayer local, streaming and provisioning WideVine Modular DRM
• Maintains video Aspect Ratio by default
• Player selection based on ContentType and DRM

Experimental Features, use with caution:

• Support for TextureView

Adding to your project

To start using this library, add these lines to the build.gradle of your project:

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.novoda:no-player:<latest-version>'
}

From no-player 4.5.0 this is also needed in the android section of your build.gradle

compileOptions {
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

Simple usage

1. Create a Player:

   Player player = new PlayerBuilder()
     .withPriority(PlayerType.EXO_PLAYER)
     .withWidevineModularStreamingDrm(drmHandler)
     .build(this);
   

2. Create the PlayerView:

   <com.novoda.noplayer.NoPlayerView
     android:id="@+id/player_view"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_gravity="center" />
   

3. Attach to a PlayerView:

   PlayerView playerView = findViewById(R.id.player_view);
   player.attach(playerView);
   

4. Play some content:

   player.getListeners().addPreparedListener(playerState -> player.play());
   
   Uri uri = Uri.parse(mpdUrl);
   player.loadVideo(uri, ContentType.DASH);
   

Snapshots

Snapshot builds from develop are automatically deployed to a repository that is not synced with JCenter. To consume a snapshot build add an additional maven repo as follows:

repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://dl.bintray.com/novoda-oss/snapshots/'
    }
}

You can find the latest snapshot version following this link.
