- don't check for isAudioOnly == !videoEnabled, as this prevents enabling again
video and text tracks renderers in some cases;
- when reloading play queue manager if that's needed, disable or enable video
and text tracks renderers, as they may need to be enabled again in some cases
like starting a video in main player, opening play queue, switching to
background player on it and switching back to main player;
- disable or enable video renderers also for streams with AUDIO_STREAM
StreamType, as doing so doesn't raise any issue and simplifies code;
- reword and move some comments to make them easier to understand.
As some devices not present in ExoPlayer's list may not implement
MediaCodec.setOutputSurface(Surface) properly, this workaround could be useful
on these devices.
It forces ExoPlayer to fall back on releasing and re-instantiating video codec
instances, which is always used on Android 5 and lower due to addition of this
method in Android 6.
To do so, a CustomMediaCodecVideoRenderer, based on ExoPlayer's
MediaVideoCodecRenderer which always return true for the
codecNeedsSetOutputSurfaceWorkaround method has been added, which is used in
CustomRenderersFactory, a class based on DefaultRenderersFactory which always
returns our CustomMediaCodecVideoRenderer as the video renderers.
CustomRenderersFactory replaces DefaultRenderersFactory in the player, in the
case this setting is enabled.
Media tunneling may be not supported by more devices than the ones we
whitelisted before.
As a matter of fact, the list of devices on which media tunneling is disabled
could be not maintainable in the future, especially if the list of devices
grows more and more.
A preferable solution is to allow users to configure this setting themselves,
allowing them to not wait for their device(s) to be whitelisted in a future
NewPipe update.
This solution has been applied in this commit and works on every build type.
The corresponding preference in the debug settings has been of course removed
and the code used to prevent media tunneling activation on specific devices has
been removed.
This option could help to avoid decoder initialization issues, which falls back
to lower-priority decoders if decoder initialization fails. This may result in
poor playback performance than when using primary decoders.
It is disabled by default, but can be enabled in ExoPlayer settings.
The following is the list of all commits squashed together:
Regain function for option `Positions in lists`
use option `Resume playback` to control display of progress info in VideoDetailFragment, remove this (extra) function from option `Positions in lists`.
remove extra check for live streams, live streams updates just as non-live streams.
fix#8176 by eliminating exit delay
Regain function for option `Positions in lists`
update code with developer's comments
apply static import to methods in util class DependentPreferenceHelper
Regain function for option `Positions in lists`
use option `Resume playback` to control display of progress info in VideoDetailFragment, remove this (extra) function from option `Positions in lists`.
remove extra check for live streams, live streams updates just as non-live streams.
fix behavior for displaying progress bar when autoplay off but video resume on
not to retrieve unnecessary states when position in lists disabled
fix mistake in code
simplify conditional logic
update doc comment and remove unused method
Fix not showing duration if position indicators disabled
Positions in lists only depends on watch history
A while ago NewPipe called the metadata update function very often, so checks were needed to ensure not wasting time updating metadata if it were already up to date. Now, instead, the metadata update function is called exactly when needed, i.e. when metadata changes, so such checks are not needed anymore (and were probably also a little resource-heavy).
Before the thumbnail finishes loading for the new video the player is now playing, the old thumbnail was being used, leading to wrong thumbnails set in the media session and the notification.
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).
