A custom HlsPlaylistParserFactory cannot be used anymore to play HLS streams.
This needs to be replaced by a custom HlsDataSourceFactory, which returns a ByteArrayDataSource (where the bytes of this DataSource correspond to the bytes of the playlist string) and a specified DataSource for other request types.
This model has two limitations:
- if media requests are relative, the URI from which the manifest comes from (either the manifest URI (preferred) or the master URI (if applicable)) must be returned, otherwise the content will be not playable, as it will be an invalid URL, or it may be treat as something unexpected, for instance as a file for DefaultDataSources;
- if the playlist is a master playlist, endless loops should be encountered because the DataSources created for media playlists will use the master playlist response instead of fetching the corresponding playlist. With the current model of HlsDataSourceFactory, there is no possibility to distinguish the playlist type or the URI that is requested.
If ExoPlayer provides a way to create HlsMediaSources with an HlsPlaylist in the future, it should be used instead of this solution.
This ensures to not remove streams from the StreamInfo lists themselves, and so to not have to create list copies.
The toast shown in RouterActivity, when there is no audio stream available for external players, is now shown, in the same case, when pressing the background button in VideoDetailFragment.
Detailed changes:
- External players:
- Add a message instruction about stream selection;
- Add a message when there is no stream available for external players;
- Return now HLS, DASH and SmoothStreaming URL contents, in addition to progressive HTTP ones.
- Player:
- Support DASH, HLS and SmoothStreaming streams for videos, whether they are content URLs or the manifests themselves, in addition to progressive HTTP ones;
- Use a custom HttpDataSource to play YouTube contents, based of ExoPlayer's default one, which allows better spoofing of official clients (custom user-agent and headers (depending of the client used), use of range and rn (set dynamically by the DataSource) parameters);
- Fetch YouTube progressive contents as DASH streams, like official clients, support fully playback of livestreams which have ended recently and OTF streams;
- Use ExoPlayer's default retries count for contents on non-fatal errors (instead of Integer.MAX_VALUE for non-live contents and 5 for live contents).
- Download dialog:
- Add message about support of progressive HTTP streams only for downloading;
- Remove several duplicated code and update relevant usages;
- Support downloading of contents with an unknown media format.
- ListHelper:
- Catch NumberFormatException when trying to compare two video streams between them.
- Tests:
- Update ListHelperTest and StreamItemAdapterTest to fix breaking changes in the extractor.
- Other places:
- Fixes deprecation of changes made in the extractor;
- Improve some code related to the files changed.
- Issues fixed and/or improved with the changes:
- Seeking of PeerTube HLS streams (the duration shown was the one from the stream duration and not the one parsed, incomplete because HLS streams are fragmented MP4s with multiple sidx boxes, for which seeking is not supported by ExoPlayer) (the app now uses the HLS manifest returned for each quality, in the master playlist (not fetched and computed by the extractor));
- Crash when loading PeerTube streams with a separated audio;
- Lack of some streams on some YouTube videos (OTF streams);
- Loading times of YouTube streams, after a quality change or a playback start;
- View count of YouTube ended livestreams interpreted as watching count (this type of streams is not interpreted anymore as livestreams);
- Watchable time of YouTube ended livestreams;
- Playback of SoundCloud HLS-only tracks (which cannot be downloaded anymore because the workaround which was used is being removed by SoundCloud, so it has been removed from the extractor).
added: MediaItemTag for ManagedMediaSources.
added: silent track for FailedMediaSource.
added: keyframe fast forward at initial playback buffer.
added: error notification on silently skipped streams.
* Replaced by ``wasLastResolvedVideoAndAudioSeparated``
* Uses an ``Optional`` instead (we can't determine if the video and audio streams are separated when we did not fetch it)
Prefering video-only streams to video streams for our player will allow us to make seamless transitions on 360 and 720p qualities on YouTube.
External players and the downloader are not affected by this change.
This is only available when playing video-only streams (and when there is no audio stream and only video streams with audio) and audio-only streams.
For more details about which conditions are required to get this transition, look at the changes in the useVideoSource(boolean) method of the Player class.
Post-processing infrastructure
* remove interfaces with one implementation
* fix download resources with unknow length
* marquee style for ProgressDrawable
* "view details" option in mission context menu
* notification for finished downloads
* postprocessing infrastructure: sub-missions, circular file, layers for layers of abstractions for Java IO streams
* Mp4 muxing (only DASH brand)
* WebM muxing
* Captions downloading
* alert dialog for overwrite existing downloads finished or not.
Misc changes
* delete SQLiteDownloadDataSource.java
* delete DownloadMissionSQLiteHelper.java
* implement Localization from #114
Misc fixes (this branch)
* restore old mission listeners variables. Prevents registered listeners get de-referenced on low-end devices
* DownloadManagerService.checkForRunningMission() now return false if the mission has a error.
* use Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK when launching an activity from gigaget threads (apparently it is required in old versions of android)
More changes
* proper error handling "infrastructure"
* queue instead of multiple downloads
* move serialized pending downloads (.giga files) to app data
* stop downloads when swicthing to mobile network (never works, see 2nd point)
* save the thread count for next downloads
* a lot of incoherences fixed
* delete DownloadManagerTest.java (too many changes to keep this file updated)
-Fixed background and popup player service staying in foreground when playback is paused or completed.
-Fixed player metadata not updating on new stream.
-Fixed player intent playback quality not applied.
-Fixed player auto-queue not applied after stream transition or swapping.
