> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 6. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

The multimedia subsystem provides a set of simple and easy-to-use APIs for you to access the system and use media resources.

This subsystem offers the following audio and video services:

- Audio and video playback, implemented by the [AVPlayer](#avplayer9)<sup>9+</sup> class. This class has integrated [AudioPlayer](#audioplayerdeprecated)<sup>6+</sup> and [VideoPlayer](#videoplayer)<sup>8+</sup>, with the state machine and error codes upgraded. It is recommended.
- Audio and video recording, implemented by the [AVRecorder](#avrecorder9)<sup>9+</sup> class. This class has integrated [AudioRecorder](#audiorecorderdeprecated)<sup>6+</sup> and [VideoRecorder](#videorecorder9)<sup>9+</sup>. It is recommended.
- Audio playback, implemented by the [AudioPlayer](#audioplayerdeprecated)<sup>6+</sup> class. It is deprecated. You are advised to use [AVPlayer](#avplayer9)<sup>9+</sup>.
- Video playback, implemented by the [VideoPlayer](#videoplayerdeprecated)<sup>8+</sup> class. It is deprecated. You are advised to use [AVPlayer](#avplayer9)<sup>9+</sup>.
- Audio recording, implemented by the [AudioRecorder](#audiorecorderdeprecated)<sup>6+</sup> class. It is deprecated. You are advised to use [AVRecorder](#avrecorder9)<sup>9+</sup>.
- Video recording, implemented by the [VideoRecorder](#videorecorder9)<sup>9+</sup> class. It is deprecated. You are advised to use [AVRecorder](#avrecorder9)<sup>9+</sup>.

It can be used as a query parameter when the AVPlayer is in the prepared, playing, paused, or completed state.<br>The value **-1** indicates an invalid value.<br>In live streaming scenarios, **-1** is returned by default.|
| width<sup>9+</sup>                                  | number                                                       | Yes  | No  | Video width, in pixels.

It can be used as a query parameter when the AVPlayer is in the prepared, playing, paused, or completed state.<br>The value **0** indicates an invalid value.|

**NOTE**

After the resource handle (FD) is transferred to the AVPlayer, do not use the resource handle to perform read and write operations, including but not limited to transferring it to multiple AVPlayers. Competition occurs when multiple AVPlayers use the same resource handle to read and write files at the same time, resulting in playback errors.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Multimedia.Media.AVPlayer

|              Name              |  Type | Description                                                        |
| :-----------------------------: | :----: | :----------------------------------------------------------- |
|              idle               | string | The AVPlayer enters this state after [createAVPlayer()](#mediacreateavplayer9) or **reset()** is called.<br>In case **createAVPlayer()** is used, all attributes are set to their default values.<br>In case **reset()** is called, the **url<sup>9+</sup>** or **fdSrc<sup>9+</sup>** attribute is reset, and other attributes are retained.|
|           initialized           | string | The AVPlayer enters this state after **url<sup>9+</sup>** or **fdSrc<sup>9+</sup>** attribute is set in the idle state. In this case, you can configure static attributes such as the window and audio.|
|            prepared             | string | The AVPlayer enters this state when **prepare()** is called in the initialized state. In this case, the playback engine has prepared the resources.|
|             playing             | string | The AVPlayer enters this state when **play()** is called in the prepared, paused, or completed state.|
|             paused              | string | The AVPlayer enters this state when **pause()** is called in the playing state.|
|            completed            | string | The AVPlayer enters this state when a media asset finishes playing and loop playback is not set (no **loop = 1**). In this case, if **play()** is called, the AVPlayer enters the playing state and replays the media asset; if **stop()** is called, the AVPlayer enters the stopped state.|
|             stopped             | string | The AVPlayer enters this state when **stop()** is called in the prepared, playing, paused, or completed state. In this case, the playback engine retains the attributes but releases the memory resources. You can call **prepare()** to prepare the resources again, call **reset()** to reset the attributes, or call **release()** to destroy the playback engine.|
|            released             | string | The AVPlayer enters this state when **release()** is called. The playback engine associated with the **AVPlayer** instance is destroyed, and the playback process ends. This is the final state.|
| error<a name = error_state></a> | string | The AVPlayer enters this state when an irreversible error occurs in the playback engine. You can call **reset()** to reset the attributes or call **release()** to destroy the playback engine. For details on the errors, see [Error Classification](#error_info).<br>**NOTE** Relationship between the error state and the [on('error')](#error_on) event<br>1. When the AVPlayer enters the error state, the [on('error')](#error_on) event is triggered. You can obtain the detailed error information through this event.<br>2. When the AVPlayer enters the error state, the playback service stops. This requires the client to design a fault tolerance mechanism to call **reset()** or **release()**.<br>3. The client receives [on('error')](#error_on) event but the AVPlayer does not enter the error state. This situation occurs due to either of the following reasons:<br>Cause 1: The client calls an API in an incorrect state or passes in an incorrect parameter, and the AVPlayer intercepts the call. If this is the case, the client must correct its code logic.<br>Cause 2: A stream error is detected during playback. As a result, the container and decoding are abnormal for a short period of time, but continuous playback and playback control operations are not affected. If this is the case, the client does not need to design a fault tolerance mechanism.|
