4
5*   Core library:
6    *   Add playbackPositionUs parameter to 'LoadControl.shouldContinueLoading'.
7    *   The `DefaultLoadControl` default minimum buffer is set to 50 seconds,
8        equal to the default maximum buffer. `DefaultLoadControl` applies the
9        same behavior for audio and video.
10    *   Add API in `AnalyticsListener` to report video frame processing offset.
11        `MediaCodecVideoRenderer` reports the event.
12    *   Add fields `videoFrameProcessingOffsetUsSum` and
13        `videoFrameProcessingOffsetUsCount` in `DecoderCounters` to compute the
14        average video frame processing offset.
15    *   Add playlist API
16        ([#6161](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6161)).
17    *   Add `play` and `pause` methods to `Player`.
18    *   Add `Player.getCurrentLiveOffset` to conveniently return the live
19        offset.
20    *   Add `Player.onPlayWhenReadyChanged` with reasons.
21    *   Add `Player.onPlaybackStateChanged` and deprecate
22        `Player.onPlayerStateChanged`.
23    *   Add `Player.setAudioSessionId` to set the session ID attached to the
24        `AudioTrack`.
25    *   Deprecate and rename `getPlaybackError` to `getPlayerError` for
26        consistency.
27    *   Deprecate and rename `onLoadingChanged` to `onIsLoadingChanged` for
28        consistency.
29    *   Deprecate `onSeekProcessed` because all seek changes happen instantly
30        now and listening to `onPositionDiscontinuity` is sufficient.
31    *   Add `ExoPlayer.setPauseAtEndOfMediaItems` to let the player pause at the
32        end of each media item
33        ([#5660](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5660)).
34    *   Split `setPlaybackParameter` into `setPlaybackSpeed` and
35        `AudioComponent.setSkipSilenceEnabled` with callbacks
36        `onPlaybackSpeedChanged` and
37        `AudioListener.onSkipSilenceEnabledChanged`.
38    *   Make `MediaSourceEventListener.LoadEventInfo` and
39        `MediaSourceEventListener.MediaLoadData` top-level classes.
40    *   Rename `MediaCodecRenderer.onOutputFormatChanged` to
41        `MediaCodecRenderer.onOutputMediaFormatChanged`, further clarifying the
42        distinction between `Format` and `MediaFormat`.
43    *   Improve `Format` propagation within the media codec renderer
44        ([#6646](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6646)).
45    *   Move player message-related constants from `C` to `Renderer`, to avoid
46        having the constants class depend on player/renderer classes.
47    *   Split out `common` and `extractor` submodules.
48    *   Allow to explicitly send `PlayerMessage`s at the end of a stream.
49    *   Add `DataSpec.Builder` and deprecate most `DataSpec` constructors.
50    *   Add `DataSpec.customData` to allow applications to pass custom data
51        through `DataSource` chains.
52    *   Add a sample count parameter to `MediaCodecRenderer.processOutputBuffer`
53        and `AudioSink.handleBuffer` to allow batching multiple encoded frames
54        in one buffer.
55    *   Add a `Format.Builder` and deprecate all `Format.create*` methods and
56        most `Format.copyWith*` methods.
57    *   Split `Format.bitrate` into `Format.averageBitrate` and
58        `Format.peakBitrate`
59        ([#2863](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2863)).
60    *   Add option to `MergingMediaSource` to adjust the time offsets between
61        the merged sources
62        ([#6103](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6103)).
63    *   `SimpleDecoderVideoRenderer` and `SimpleDecoderAudioRenderer` renamed to
64        `DecoderVideoRenderer` and `DecoderAudioRenderer` respectively, and
65        generalized to work with `Decoder` rather than `SimpleDecoder`.
66    *   Add media item based playlist API to Player.
67    *   Remove deprecated members in `DefaultTrackSelector`.
68    *   Add `Player.DeviceComponent` and implement it for `SimpleExoPlayer` so
69        that the device volume can be controlled by player.
70    *   Avoid throwing an exception while parsing fragmented MP4 default sample
71        values where the most-significant bit is set
72        ([#7207](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7207)).
73    *   Add `SilenceMediaSource.Factory` to support tags
74        ([PR #7245](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/7245)).
75    *   Fix `AdsMediaSource` child `MediaSource`s not being released.
76    *   Parse track titles from Matroska files
77        ([#7247](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/7247)).
78    *   Replace `CacheDataSinkFactory` and `CacheDataSourceFactory` with
79        `CacheDataSink.Factory` and `CacheDataSource.Factory` respectively.
80*   Text:
81    *   Parse `<ruby>` and `<rt>` tags in WebVTT subtitles (rendering is coming
82        later).
83    *   Parse `text-combine-upright` CSS property (i.e. tate-chu-yoko) in WebVTT
84        subtitles (rendering is coming later).
85    *   Parse `tts:combineText` property (i.e. tate-chu-yoko) in TTML subtitles
86        (rendering is coming later).
87    *   Fix `SubtitlePainter` to render `EDGE_TYPE_OUTLINE` using the correct
88        color ([#6724](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/6724)).
89    *   Add support for WebVTT default
90        [text](https://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/#default-text-color) and
91        [background](https://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/#default-text-background)
92        colors ([PR #4178](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/4178),
93        [issue #6581](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6581)).
94    *   Parse `tts:ruby` and `tts:rubyPosition` properties in TTML subtitles
95        (rendering is coming later).
96    *   Update WebVTT position alignment parsing to recognise `line-left`,
97        `center` and `line-right` as per the
98        [released spec](https://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/#webvtt-position-cue-setting)
99        (a
100        [previous draft](https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-webvtt1-20141111/#dfn-webvtt-text-position-cue-setting)
101        used `start`, `middle` and `end`).
102    *   Use anti-aliasing and bitmap filtering when displaying bitmap subtitles
103        ([#6950](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/6950)).
104    *   Implement timing-out of stuck CEA-608 captions (as permitted by
105        ANSI/CTA-608-E R-2014 Annex C.9) and set the default timeout to 16
106        seconds ([#7181](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7181)).
107*   DRM:
108    *   Add support for attaching DRM sessions to clear content in the demo app.
109    *   Remove `DrmSessionManager` references from all renderers.
110        `DrmSessionManager` must be injected into the MediaSources using the
111        MediaSources factories.
112    *   Add option to inject a custom `DefaultDrmSessionManager` into
113        `OfflineLicenseHelper`
114        ([#7078](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7078)).
115    *   Remove generics from DRM components.
116*   Downloads and caching:
117    *   Merge downloads in `SegmentDownloader` to improve overall download speed
118        ([#5978](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5978)).
119    *   Replace `CacheDataSinkFactory` and `CacheDataSourceFactory` with
120        `CacheDataSink.Factory` and `CacheDataSource.Factory` respectively.
121    *   Remove `DownloadConstructorHelper` and use `CacheDataSource.Factory`
122        directly instead.
123    *   Update `CachedContentIndex` to use `SecureRandom` for generating the
124        initialization vector used to encrypt the cache contents.
125*   DASH:
126    *   Merge trick play adaptation sets (i.e., adaptation sets marked with
127        `http://dashif.org/guidelines/trickmode`) into the same `TrackGroup` as
128        the main adaptation sets to which they refer. Trick play tracks are
129        marked with the `C.ROLE_FLAG_TRICK_PLAY` flag.
130    *   Fix assertion failure in `SampleQueue` when playing DASH streams with
131        EMSG tracks ([#7273](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7273)).
132*   MP3: Add `IndexSeeker` for accurate seeks in VBR streams
133    ([#6787](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6787)). This seeker is
134    enabled by passing `FLAG_ENABLE_INDEX_SEEKING` to the `Mp3Extractor`. It may
135    require to scan a significant portion of the file for seeking, which may be
136    costly on large files.
137*   MP4: Store the Android capture frame rate only in `Format.metadata`.
138    `Format.frameRate` now stores the calculated frame rate.
139*   MPEG-TS: Fix issue where SEI NAL units were incorrectly dropped from H.265
140    samples ([#7113](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7113)).
141*   Testing
142    *   Add `TestExoPlayer`, a utility class with APIs to create
143        `SimpleExoPlayer` instances with fake components for testing.
144    *   Upgrade Truth dependency from 0.44 to 1.0.
145    *   Upgrade to JUnit 4.13-rc-2.
146*   UI
147    *   Add `showScrubber` and `hideScrubber` methods to DefaultTimeBar.
148    *   Move logic of prev, next, fast forward and rewind to ControlDispatcher
149        ([#6926](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6926)).
150*   Metadata: Add minimal DVB Application Information Table (AIT) support
151    ([#6922](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/6922)).
152*   Cast extension: Implement playlist API and deprecate the old queue
153    manipulation API.
154*   Demo app: Retain previous position in list of samples.
155*   Change the order of extractors for sniffing to reduce start-up latency in
156    `DefaultExtractorsFactory` and `DefaultHlsExtractorsFactory`
157    ([#6410](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6410)).
158*   Add missing `@Nullable` annotations to `MediaSessionConnector`
159    ([#7234](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7234)).
160
161### 2.11.4 (2020-04-08)
162
163*   Add `SimpleExoPlayer.setWakeMode` to allow automatic `WifiLock` and
164    `WakeLock` handling
165    ([#6914](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6914)). To use this
166    feature, you must add the
167    [WAKE_LOCK](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#WAKE_LOCK)
168    permission to your application's manifest file.
169*   Text:
170    *   Catch and log exceptions in `TextRenderer` rather than re-throwing. This
171        allows playback to continue even if subtitle decoding fails
172        ([#6885](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6885)).
173    *   Allow missing hours and milliseconds in SubRip (.srt) timecodes
174        ([#7122](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7122)).
175*   Audio:
176    *   Enable playback speed adjustment and silence skipping for floating point
177        PCM audio, via resampling to 16-bit integer PCM. To output the original
178        floating point audio without adjustment, pass `enableFloatOutput=true`
179        to the `DefaultAudioSink` constructor
180        ([#7134](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7134)).
181    *   Workaround issue that could cause slower than realtime playback of AAC
182        on Android 10 ([#6671](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6671).
183    *   Fix case where another app spuriously holding transient audio focus
184        could prevent ExoPlayer from acquiring audio focus for an indefinite
185        period of time
186        ([#7182](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7182).
187    *   Fix case where the player volume could be permanently ducked if audio
188        focus was released whilst ducking.
189    *   Fix playback of WAV files with trailing non-media bytes
190        ([#7129](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7129)).
191    *   Fix playback of ADTS files with mid-stream ID3 metadata.
192*   DRM:
193    *   Fix stuck ad playbacks with DRM protected content
194        ([#7188](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7188)).
195    *   Fix playback of Widevine protected content that only provides V1 PSSH
196        atoms on API levels 21 and 22.
197    *   Fix playback of PlayReady content on Fire TV Stick (Gen 2).
198*   DASH:
199    *   Update the manifest URI to avoid repeated HTTP redirects
200        ([#6907](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6907)).
201    *   Parse period `AssetIdentifier` elements.
202*   HLS: Recognize IMSC subtitles
203    ([#7185](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7185)).
204*   UI: Add an option to set whether to use the orientation sensor for rotation
205    in spherical playbacks
206    ([#6761](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6761)).
207*   Analytics: Fix `PlaybackStatsListener` behavior when not keeping history
208    ([#7160](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7160)).
209*   FFmpeg extension: Add support for `x86_64` architecture.
210*   Opus extension: Fix parsing of negative gain values
211    ([#7046](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7046)).
212*   Cast extension: Upgrade `play-services-cast-framework` dependency to 18.1.0.
213    This fixes an issue where `RemoteServiceException` was thrown due to
214    `Context.startForegroundService()` not calling `Service.startForeground()`
215    ([#7191](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7191)).
216
217### 2.11.3 (2020-02-19)
218
219*   SmoothStreaming: Fix regression that broke playback in 2.11.2
220    ([#6981](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6981)).
221*   DRM: Fix issue switching from protected content that uses a 16-byte
222    initialization vector to one that uses an 8-byte initialization vector
223    ([#6982](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6982)).
224
225### 2.11.2 (2020-02-13)
226
227*   Add Java FLAC extractor
228    ([#6406](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6406)).
229*   Startup latency optimization:
230    *   Reduce startup latency for DASH and SmoothStreaming playbacks by
231        allowing codec initialization to occur before the network connection for
232        the first media segment has been established.
233    *   Reduce startup latency for on-demand DASH playbacks by allowing codec
234        initialization to occur before the sidx box has been loaded.
235*   Downloads:
236    *   Fix download resumption when the requirements for them to continue are
237        met ([#6733](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6733),
238        [#6798](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6798)).
239    *   Fix `DownloadHelper.createMediaSource` to use `customCacheKey` when
240        creating `ProgressiveMediaSource` instances.
241*   DRM: Fix `NullPointerException` when playing DRM protected content
242    ([#6951](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6951)).
243*   Metadata:
244    *   Update `IcyDecoder` to try ISO-8859-1 decoding if UTF-8 decoding fails.
245        Also change `IcyInfo.rawMetadata` from `String` to `byte[]` to allow
246        developers to handle data that's neither UTF-8 nor ISO-8859-1
247        ([#6753](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6753)).
248    *   Select multiple metadata tracks if multiple metadata renderers are
249        available ([#6676](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6676)).
250    *   Add support for ID3 genres added in Wimamp 5.6 (2010).
251*   UI:
252    *   Show ad group markers in `DefaultTimeBar` even if they are after the end
253        of the current window
254        ([#6552](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6552)).
255    *   Don't use notification chronometer if playback speed is != 1.0
256        ([#6816](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6816)).
257*   HLS: Fix playback of DRM protected content that uses key rotation
258    ([#6903](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6903)).

268    ([#6602](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6602)).
269*   Fix playback of TrueHD streams in Matroska
270    ([#6845](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6845)).
271*   Fix MKV subtitles to disappear when intended instead of lasting until the
272    next cue ([#6833](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6833)).
273*   OkHttp extension: Upgrade OkHttp dependency to 3.12.8, which fixes a class
274    of `SocketTimeoutException` issues when using HTTP/2
275    ([#4078](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4078)).
276*   FLAC extension: Fix handling of bit depths other than 16 in `FLACDecoder`.
277    This issue caused FLAC streams with other bit depths to sound like white
278    noise on earlier releases, but only when embedded in a non-FLAC container
279    such as Matroska or MP4.
280*   Demo apps: Add
281    [GL demo app](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/tree/dev-v2/demos/gl) to
282    show how to render video to a `GLSurfaceView` while applying a GL shader.
283    ([#6920](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6920)).
284
285### 2.11.1 (2019-12-20)
286

290    *   Ensure `Libgav1VideoRenderer` constructor is kept for use by
291        `DefaultRenderersFactory`
292        ([#6773](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6773)).
293    *   Ensure `VideoDecoderOutputBuffer` and its members are kept for use by
294        video decoder extensions.
295    *   Ensure raw resources used with `RawResourceDataSource` are kept.
296    *   Suppress spurious warnings about the `javax.annotation` package, and
297        restructure use of `IntDef` annotations to remove spurious warnings
298        about `SsaStyle$SsaAlignment`
299        ([#6771](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6771)).
300*   Fix `CacheDataSource` to correctly propagate `DataSpec.httpRequestHeaders`.
301*   Fix issue with `DefaultDownloadIndex` that could result in an
302    `IllegalStateException` being thrown from
303    `DefaultDownloadIndex.getDownloadForCurrentRow`
304    ([#6785](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6785)).
305*   Fix `IndexOutOfBoundsException` in `SinglePeriodTimeline.getWindow`
306    ([#6776](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6776)).
307*   Add missing `@Nullable` to `MediaCodecAudioRenderer.getMediaClock` and
308    `SimpleDecoderAudioRenderer.getMediaClock`
309    ([#6792](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6792)).
310
311### 2.11.0 (2019-12-11)
312
313*   Core library:
314    *   Replace `ExoPlayerFactory` by `SimpleExoPlayer.Builder` and
315        `ExoPlayer.Builder`.
316    *   Add automatic `WakeLock` handling to `SimpleExoPlayer`, which can be
317        enabled by calling `SimpleExoPlayer.setHandleWakeLock`
318        ([#5846](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5846)). To use this
319        feature, you must add the
320        [WAKE_LOCK](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#WAKE_LOCK)
321        permission to your application's manifest file.
322    *   Add automatic "audio becoming noisy" handling to `SimpleExoPlayer`,
323        which can be enabled by calling
324        `SimpleExoPlayer.setHandleAudioBecomingNoisy`.
325    *   Wrap decoder exceptions in a new `DecoderException` class and report
326        them as renderer errors.
327    *   Add `Timeline.Window.isLive` to indicate that a window is a live stream
328        ([#2668](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2668) and
329        [#5973](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5973)).
330    *   Add `Timeline.Window.uid` to uniquely identify window instances.
331    *   Deprecate `setTag` parameter of `Timeline.getWindow`. Tags will always
332        be set.
333    *   Deprecate passing the manifest directly to
334        `Player.EventListener.onTimelineChanged`. It can be accessed through
335        `Timeline.Window.manifest` or `Player.getCurrentManifest()`
336    *   Add `MediaSource.enable` and `MediaSource.disable` to improve resource
337        management in playlists.
338    *   Add `MediaPeriod.isLoading` to improve `Player.isLoading` state.
339    *   Fix issue where player errors are thrown too early at playlist
340        transitions ([#5407](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5407)).
341    *   Add `Format` and renderer support flags to renderer
342        `ExoPlaybackException`s.
343    *   Where there are multiple platform decoders for a given MIME type, prefer
344        to use one that advertises support for the profile and level of the
345        media being played over one that does not, even if it does not come
346        first in the `MediaCodecList`.
347*   DRM:
348    *   Inject `DrmSessionManager` into the `MediaSources` instead of
349        `Renderers`. This allows each `MediaSource` in a
350        `ConcatenatingMediaSource` to use a different `DrmSessionManager`
351        ([#5619](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5619)).
352    *   Add `DefaultDrmSessionManager.Builder`, and remove
353        `DefaultDrmSessionManager` static factory methods that leaked
354        `ExoMediaDrm` instances
355        ([#4721](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4721)).
356    *   Add support for the use of secure decoders when playing clear content
357        ([#4867](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4867)). This can be
358        enabled using `DefaultDrmSessionManager.Builder`'s
359        `setUseDrmSessionsForClearContent` method.
360    *   Add support for custom `LoadErrorHandlingPolicies` in key and
361        provisioning requests
362        ([#6334](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6334)). Custom
363        policies can be passed via `DefaultDrmSessionManager.Builder`'s
364        `setLoadErrorHandlingPolicy` method.
365    *   Use `ExoMediaDrm.Provider` in `OfflineLicenseHelper` to avoid leaking
366        `ExoMediaDrm` instances
367        ([#4721](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4721)).
368*   Track selection:
369    *   Update `DefaultTrackSelector` to set a viewport constraint for the
370        default display by default.
371    *   Update `DefaultTrackSelector` to set text language and role flag
372        constraints for the device's accessibility settings by default
373        ([#5749](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5749)).
374    *   Add option to set preferred text role flags using
375        `DefaultTrackSelector.ParametersBuilder.setPreferredTextRoleFlags`.
376*   LoadControl:
377    *   Default `prioritizeTimeOverSizeThresholds` to false to prevent OOM
378        errors ([#6647](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6647)).
379*   Android 10:
380    *   Set `compileSdkVersion` to 29 to enable use of Android 10 APIs.
381    *   Expose new `isHardwareAccelerated`, `isSoftwareOnly` and `isVendor`
382        flags in `MediaCodecInfo`
383        ([#5839](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5839)).
384    *   Add `allowedCapturePolicy` field to `AudioAttributes` to allow to
385        configuration of the audio capture policy.
386*   Video:
387    *   Pass the codec output `MediaFormat` to `VideoFrameMetadataListener`.
388    *   Fix byte order of HDR10+ static metadata to match CTA-861.3.
389    *   Support out-of-band HDR10+ dynamic metadata for VP9 in WebM/Matroska.
390    *   Assume that protected content requires a secure decoder when evaluating
391        whether `MediaCodecVideoRenderer` supports a given video format
392        ([#5568](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5568)).
393    *   Fix Dolby Vision fallback to AVC and HEVC.
394    *   Fix early end-of-stream detection when using video tunneling, on API
395        level 23 and above.
396    *   Fix an issue where a keyframe was rendered rather than skipped when
397        performing an exact seek to a non-zero position close to the start of
398        the stream.
399*   Audio:
400    *   Fix the start of audio getting truncated when transitioning to a new
401        item in a playlist of Opus streams.
402    *   Workaround broken raw audio decoding on Oppo R9
403        ([#5782](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5782)).
404    *   Reconfigure audio sink when PCM encoding changes
405        ([#6601](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6601)).
406    *   Allow `AdtsExtractor` to encounter EOF when calculating average frame
407        size ([#6700](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6700)).
408*   Text:
409    *   Add support for position and overlapping start/end times in SSA/ASS
410        subtitles ([#6320](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6320)).
411    *   Require an end time or duration for SubRip (SRT) and SubStation Alpha
412        (SSA/ASS) subtitles. This applies to both sidecar files & subtitles
413        [embedded in Matroska streams](https://matroska.org/technical/specs/subtitles/index.html).
414*   UI:
415    *   Make showing and hiding player controls accessible to TalkBack in
416        `PlayerView`.
417    *   Rename `spherical_view` surface type to `spherical_gl_surface_view`.
418    *   Make it easier to override the shuffle, repeat, fullscreen, VR and small
419        notification icon assets
420        ([#6709](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6709)).
421*   Analytics:
422    *   Remove `AnalyticsCollector.Factory`. Instances should be created
423        directly, and the `Player` should be set by calling
424        `AnalyticsCollector.setPlayer`.
425    *   Add `PlaybackStatsListener` to collect `PlaybackStats` for analysis and
426        analytics reporting.
427*   DataSource
428    *   Add `DataSpec.httpRequestHeaders` to support setting per-request headers
429        for HTTP and HTTPS.
430    *   Remove the `DataSpec.FLAG_ALLOW_ICY_METADATA` flag. Use is replaced by
431        setting the `IcyHeaders.REQUEST_HEADER_ENABLE_METADATA_NAME` header in
432        `DataSpec.httpRequestHeaders`.
433    *   Fail more explicitly when local file URIs contain invalid parts (e.g. a
434        fragment) ([#6470](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6470)).
435*   DASH: Support negative @r values in segment timelines
436    ([#1787](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/1787)).
437*   HLS:
438    *   Use peak bitrate rather than average bitrate for adaptive track
439        selection.
440    *   Fix issue where streams could get stuck in an infinite buffering state
441        after a postroll ad
442        ([#6314](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6314)).

447        [libgav1 software decoder](https://chromium.googlesource.com/codecs/libgav1/)
448        in ExoPlayer. You can read more about playing AV1 videos with ExoPlayer
449        [here](https://medium.com/google-exoplayer/playing-av1-videos-with-exoplayer-a7cb19bedef9).
450*   VP9 extension:
451    *   Update to use NDK r20.
452    *   Rename `VpxVideoSurfaceView` to `VideoDecoderSurfaceView` and move it to
453        the core library.
454    *   Move `LibvpxVideoRenderer.MSG_SET_OUTPUT_BUFFER_RENDERER` to
455        `C.MSG_SET_OUTPUT_BUFFER_RENDERER`.
456    *   Use `VideoDecoderRenderer` as an implementation of
457        `VideoDecoderOutputBufferRenderer`, instead of
458        `VideoDecoderSurfaceView`.
459*   FLAC extension: Update to use NDK r20.
460*   Opus extension: Update to use NDK r20.
461*   FFmpeg extension:
462    *   Update to use NDK r20.
463    *   Update to use FFmpeg version 4.2. It is necessary to rebuild the native
464        part of the extension after this change, following the instructions in

510    a playlist of Opus streams.
511
512### 2.10.6 (2019-10-17)
513
514*   Add `Player.onPlaybackSuppressionReasonChanged` to allow listeners to detect
515    playbacks suppressions (e.g. transient audio focus loss) directly
516    ([#6203](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6203)).
517*   DASH:

532        longer adjusts the colors of the scrubber handle , buffered and unplayed
533        parts of the time bar. These can be set separately using
534        `app:scrubber_color`, `app:buffered_color` and `app_unplayed_color`
535        respectively.
536    *   Setting `app:ad_marker_color` on `PlayerView` and `PlayerControlView` no
537        longer adjusts the color of played ad markers. The color of played ad
538        markers can be set separately using `app:played_ad_marker_color`.
539
540### 2.10.5 (2019-09-20)
541
542*   Add `Player.isPlaying` and `EventListener.onIsPlayingChanged` to check
543    whether the playback position is advancing. This helps to determine if
544    playback is suppressed due to audio focus loss. Also add
545    `Player.getPlaybackSuppressedReason` to determine the reason of the
546    suppression ([#6203](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6203)).
547*   Track selection
548    *   Add `allowAudioMixedChannelCountAdaptiveness` parameter to
549        `DefaultTrackSelector` to allow adaptive selections of audio tracks with

552        matches over other selection parameters.
553    *   Fix audio selection issue where languages are compared by bitrate
554        ([#6335](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6335)).
555*   Performance
556    *   Increase maximum video buffer size from 13MB to 32MB. The previous
557        default was too small for high quality streams.
558    *   Reset `DefaultBandwidthMeter` to initial values on network change.
559    *   Bypass sniffing in `ProgressiveMediaPeriod` in case a single extractor
560        is provided ([#6325](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6325)).
561*   Metadata

567    ([#6444](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6444)).
568*   Fix issue where a request would be retried after encountering an error, even
569    though the `LoadErrorHandlingPolicy` classified the error as fatal.
570*   Fix initialization data handling for FLAC in MP4
571    ([#6396](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6396),
572    [#6397](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6397)).

574    ([#6398](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6398)).
575*   Fix `PlayerNotificationManager` to show play icon rather than pause icon
576    when playback is ended
577    ([#6324](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6324)).
578*   RTMP extension: Upgrade LibRtmp-Client-for-Android to fix RTMP playback
579    issues ([#4200](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4200),
580    [#4249](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4249),
581    [#4319](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4319),
582    [#4337](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4337)).

592    tags instead of 3-letter ISO 639-2 language tags.
593*   Ensure the `SilenceMediaSource` position is in range
594    ([#6229](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6229)).
595*   WAV: Calculate correct duration for clipped streams
596    ([#6241](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6241)).
597*   MP3: Use CBR header bitrate, not calculated bitrate. This reverts a change
598    from 2.9.3 ([#6238](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6238)).
599*   FLAC extension: Parse `VORBIS_COMMENT` and `PICTURE` metadata
600    ([#5527](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5527)).

663*   IMA: Fix ad pod index offset calculation without preroll
664    ([#5928](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5928)).
665*   Add a `playWhenReady` flag to MediaSessionConnector.PlaybackPreparer methods
666    to indicate whether a controller sent a play or only a prepare command. This
667    allows to take advantage of decoder reuse with the MediaSessionConnector
668    ([#5891](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5891)).
669*   Add `ProgressUpdateListener` to `PlayerControlView`
670    ([#5834](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5834)).
671*   Add support for auto-detecting UDP streams in `DefaultDataSource`
672    ([#6036](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/6036)).
673*   Allow enabling decoder fallback with `DefaultRenderersFactory`
674    ([#5942](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5942)).
675*   Gracefully handle revoked `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` permission
676    ([#6019](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6019)).
677*   Fix decoding problems when seeking back after seeking beyond a mid-roll ad
678    ([#6009](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6009)).
679*   Fix application of `maxAudioBitrate` for adaptive audio track groups
680    ([#6006](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/6006)).
681*   Fix bug caused by parallel adaptive track selection using `Format`s without
682    bitrate information
683    ([#5971](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5971)).
684*   Fix bug in `CastPlayer.getCurrentWindowIndex()`
685    ([#5955](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5955)).
686
687### 2.10.1 (2019-05-16)
688
689*   Offline: Add option to remove all downloads.
690*   HLS: Fix `NullPointerException` when using HLS chunkless preparation
691    ([#5868](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5868)).
692*   Fix handling of empty values and line terminators in SHOUTcast ICY metadata

697    playing 48kHz audio
698    ([#5821](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5821)).
699
700### 2.10.0 (2019-04-15)
701
702*   Core library:
703    *   Improve decoder re-use between playbacks
704        ([#2826](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2826)). Read
705        [this blog post](https://medium.com/google-exoplayer/improved-decoder-reuse-in-exoplayer-ef4c6d99591d)
706        for more details.
707    *   Rename `ExtractorMediaSource` to `ProgressiveMediaSource`.
708    *   Fix issue where using `ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory` would mean that
709        `DefaultExtractorsFactory` would be kept by proguard. Custom
710        `ExtractorsFactory` instances must now be passed via the
711        `ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory` constructor, and `setExtractorsFactory`
712        is deprecated.
713    *   Make the default minimum buffer size equal the maximum buffer size for
714        video playbacks
715        ([#2083](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2083)).
716    *   Move `PriorityTaskManager` from `DefaultLoadControl` to
717        `SimpleExoPlayer`.
718    *   Add new `ExoPlaybackException` types for remote exceptions and
719        out-of-memory errors.
720    *   Use full BCP 47 language tags in `Format`.
721    *   Do not retry failed loads whose error is `FileNotFoundException`.
722    *   Fix issue where not resetting the position for a new `MediaSource` in
723        calls to `ExoPlayer.prepare` causes an `IndexOutOfBoundsException`
724        ([#5520](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5520)).
725*   Offline:
726    *   Improve offline support. `DownloadManager` now tracks all offline
727        content, not just tasks in progress. Read
728        [this page](https://exoplayer.dev/downloading-media.html) for more
729        details.
730*   Caching:
731    *   Improve performance of `SimpleCache`
732        ([#4253](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4253)).
733    *   Cache data with unknown length by default. The previous flag to opt in
734        to this behavior (`DataSpec.FLAG_ALLOW_CACHING_UNKNOWN_LENGTH`) has been
735        replaced with an opt out flag
736        (`DataSpec.FLAG_DONT_CACHE_IF_LENGTH_UNKNOWN`).
737*   Extractors:
738    *   MP4/FMP4: Add support for Dolby Vision.
739    *   MP4: Fix issue handling meta atoms in some streams
740        ([#5698](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5698),
741        [#5694](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5694)).
742    *   MP3: Add support for SHOUTcast ICY metadata
743        ([#3735](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3735)).
744    *   MP3: Fix ID3 frame unsychronization
745        ([#5673](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5673)).
746    *   MP3: Fix playback of badly clipped files
747        ([#5772](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5772)).
748    *   MPEG-TS: Enable HDMV DTS stream detection only if a flag is set. By
749        default (i.e. if the flag is not set), the 0x82 elementary stream type
750        is now treated as an SCTE subtitle track
751        ([#5330](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5330)).
752*   Track selection:
753    *   Add options for controlling audio track selections to
754        `DefaultTrackSelector`
755        ([#3314](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3314)).
756    *   Update `TrackSelection.Factory` interface to support creating all track
757        selections together.
758    *   Allow to specify a selection reason for a `SelectionOverride`.
759    *   Select audio track based on system language if no preference is
760        provided.
761    *   When no text language preference matches, only select forced text tracks
762        whose language matches the selected audio language.
763*   UI:
764    *   Update `DefaultTimeBar` based on duration of media and add parameter to
765        set the minimum update interval to control the smoothness of the updates
766        ([#5040](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5040)).
767    *   Move creation of dialogs for `TrackSelectionView`s to
768        `TrackSelectionDialogBuilder` and add option to select multiple
769        overrides.
770    *   Change signature of `PlayerNotificationManager.NotificationListener` to
771        better fit service requirements.
772    *   Add option to include navigation actions in the compact mode of
773        notifications created using `PlayerNotificationManager`.
774    *   Fix issues with flickering notifications on KitKat when using
775        `PlayerNotificationManager` and `DownloadNotificationUtil`. For the
776        latter, applications should switch to using
777        `DownloadNotificationHelper`.
778    *   Fix accuracy of D-pad seeking in `DefaultTimeBar`
779        ([#5767](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5767)).
780*   Audio:
781    *   Allow `AudioProcessor`s to be drained of pending output after they are
782        reconfigured.
783    *   Fix an issue that caused audio to be truncated at the end of a period
784        when switching to a new period where gapless playback information was
785        newly present or newly absent.
786    *   Add support for reading AC-4 streams
787        ([#5303](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/5303)).
788*   Video:
789    *   Remove `MediaCodecSelector.DEFAULT_WITH_FALLBACK`. Apps should instead
790        signal that fallback should be used by passing `true` as the
791        `enableDecoderFallback` parameter when instantiating the video renderer.
792    *   Support video tunneling when the decoder is not listed first for the
793        MIME type ([#3100](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3100)).
794    *   Query `MediaCodecList.ALL_CODECS` when selecting a tunneling decoder
795        ([#5547](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5547)).
796*   DRM:

802*   DASH:
803    *   Parse role and accessibility descriptors into `Format.roleFlags`.
804    *   Support multiple CEA-608 channels muxed into FMP4 representations
805        ([#5656](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5656)).
806*   HLS:
807    *   Prevent unnecessary reloads of initialization segments.
808    *   Form an adaptive track group out of audio renditions with matching name.
809    *   Support encrypted initialization segments
810        ([#5441](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5441)).
811    *   Parse `EXT-X-MEDIA` `CHARACTERISTICS` attribute into `Format.roleFlags`.
812    *   Add metadata entry for HLS tracks to expose master playlist information.
813    *   Prevent `IndexOutOfBoundsException` in some live HLS scenarios
814        ([#5816](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5816)).

817    items list ([#4964](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4964)).
818*   VP9 extension: Remove RGB output mode and libyuv dependency, and switch to
819    surface YUV output as the default. Remove constructor parameters
820    `scaleToFit` and `useSurfaceYuvOutput`.
821*   MediaSession extension:
822    *   Let apps intercept media button events
823        ([#5179](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5179)).
824    *   Fix issue with `TimelineQueueNavigator` not publishing the queue in
825        shuffled order when in shuffle mode.
826    *   Allow handling of custom commands via `registerCustomCommandReceiver`.
827    *   Add ability to include an extras `Bundle` when reporting a custom error.
828*   Log warnings when extension native libraries can't be used, to help with
829    diagnosing playback failures
830    ([#5788](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5788)).
831
832### 2.9.6 (2019-02-19)
833
834*   Remove `player` and `isTopLevelSource` parameters from
835    `MediaSource.prepare`.
836*   IMA extension:
837    *   Require setting the `Player` on `AdsLoader` instances before playback.
838    *   Remove deprecated `ImaAdsMediaSource`. Create `AdsMediaSource` with an
839        `ImaAdsLoader` instead.
840    *   Remove deprecated `AdsMediaSource` constructors. Listen for media source
841        events using `AdsMediaSource.addEventListener`, and ad interaction
842        events by adding a listener when building `ImaAdsLoader`.
843    *   Allow apps to register playback-related obstructing views that are on
844        top of their ad display containers via `AdsLoader.AdViewProvider`.
845        `PlayerView` implements this interface and will register its control
846        view. This makes it possible for ad loading SDKs to calculate ad
847        viewability accurately.
848*   DASH: Fix issue handling large `EventStream` presentation timestamps
849    ([#5490](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5490)).

853    may cause problems for some devices and/or non-interlaced content
854    ([#5003](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5003)).
855
856### 2.9.5 (2019-01-31)
857
858*   HLS: Parse `CHANNELS` attribute from `EXT-X-MEDIA` tag.
859*   ConcatenatingMediaSource:
860    *   Add `Handler` parameter to methods that take a callback `Runnable`.
861    *   Fix issue with dropped messages when releasing the source
862        ([#5464](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5464)).
863*   ExtractorMediaSource: Fix issue that could cause the player to get stuck
864    buffering at the end of the media.

880    behavior of MediaCodec
881    ([#5293](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5293)).
882*   GVR extension: upgrade GVR SDK dependency to 1.190.0.
883*   Associate fatal player errors of type SOURCE with the loading source in
884    `AnalyticsListener.EventTime`
885    ([#5407](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5407)).
886*   Add `startPositionUs` to `MediaSource.createPeriod`. This fixes an issue
887    where using lazy preparation in `ConcatenatingMediaSource` with an
888    `ExtractorMediaSource` overrides initial seek positions
889    ([#5350](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5350)).
890*   Add subtext to the `MediaDescriptionAdapter` of the
891    `PlayerNotificationManager`.

898    `ExtractorMediaSource` and a non-zero start position
899    ([#5351](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5351)).
900*   Fix issue where uneven track durations in MP4 streams can cause OOM problems
901    ([#3670](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3670)).
902

927    *   Fix decoder re-instantiation issue for packed audio streams
928        ([#5063](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5063)).
929*   MP4: Support Opus and FLAC in the MP4 container, and in DASH
930    ([#4883](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4883)).
931*   DASH: Fix detecting the end of live events
932    ([#4780](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4780)).
933*   Spherical video: Fall back to `TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR` if
934    `TYPE_GAME_ROTATION_VECTOR` is unavailable
935    ([#5119](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/5119)).
936*   Support seeking for a wider range of MPEG-TS streams

1014    across `MediaSource` implementations
1015    ([#3370](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3370)).
1016*   Allow passing a `Looper`, which specifies the thread that must be used to
1017    access the player, when instantiating player instances using
1018    `ExoPlayerFactory`
1019    ([#4278](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4278)).
1020*   Allow setting log level for ExoPlayer logcat output
1021    ([#4665](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4665)).
1022*   Simplify `BandwidthMeter` injection: The `BandwidthMeter` should now be
1023    passed directly to `ExoPlayerFactory`, instead of to
1024    `TrackSelection.Factory` and `DataSource.Factory`. The `BandwidthMeter` is
1025    passed to the components that need it internally. The `BandwidthMeter` may
1026    also be omitted, in which case a default instance will be used.
1027*   Spherical video:
1028    *   Support for spherical video by setting `surface_type="spherical_view"`
1029        on `PlayerView`.

1040    *   Fix the bitrate being unset on primary track sample formats
1041        ([#3297](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3297)).
1042    *   Make `HlsMediaSource.Factory` take a factory of trackers instead of a
1043        tracker instance
1044        ([#4814](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4814)).
1045*   DASH:
1046    *   Support `messageData` attribute for in-manifest event streams.

1057        to enable this functionality.
1058    *   Support approximate seeking in AMR using a constant bitrate assumption.
1059        The `FLAG_ENABLE_CONSTANT_BITRATE_SEEKING` flag must be set on the
1060        extractor to enable this functionality.
1061    *   Add `DefaultExtractorsFactory.setConstantBitrateSeekingEnabled` to
1062        enable approximate seeking using a constant bitrate assumption on all
1063        extractors that support it.

1068        ([#2777](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2777)).
1069    *   Scale up the initial video decoder maximum input size so playlist
1070        transitions with small increases in maximum sample size do not require
1071        reinitialization
1072        ([#4510](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4510)).
1073    *   Fix a bug where the player would not transition to the ended state when

1305        periods are created, released and being read from.
1306    *   Support live stream clipping with `ClippingMediaSource`.
1307    *   Allow setting tags for all media sources in their factories. The tag of
1308        the current window can be retrieved with `Player.getCurrentTag`.
1309*   UI:
1310    *   Add support for displaying error messages and a buffering spinner in
1311        `PlayerView`.
1312    *   Add support for listening to `AspectRatioFrameLayout`'s aspect ratio
1313        update ([#3736](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3736)).
1314    *   Add `PlayerNotificationManager` for displaying notifications reflecting
1315        the player state.
1316    *   Add `TrackSelectionView` for selecting tracks with
1317        `DefaultTrackSelector`.
1318    *   Add `TrackNameProvider` for converting track `Format`s to textual
1319        descriptions, and `DefaultTrackNameProvider` as a default
1320        implementation.
1321*   Track selection:
1322    *   Reworked `MappingTrackSelector` and `DefaultTrackSelector`.
1323    *   `DefaultTrackSelector.Parameters` now implements `Parcelable`.
1324    *   Added UI components for track selection (see above).
1325*   Audio:
1326    *   Support extracting data from AMR container formats, including both
1327        narrow and wide band
1328        ([#2527](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2527)).
1329    *   FLAC:
1330    *   Sniff FLAC files correctly if they have ID3 headers
1331        ([#4055](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4055)).
1332    *   Supports FLAC files with high sample rate (176400 and 192000)
1333        ([#3769](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3769)).
1334    *   Factor out `AudioTrack` position tracking from `DefaultAudioSink`.
1335    *   Fix an issue where the playback position would pause just after playback
1336        begins, and poll the audio timestamp less frequently once it starts
1337        advancing ([#3841](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3841)).
1338    *   Add an option to skip silent audio in `PlaybackParameters`
1339        ([#2635](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2635)).
1340    *   Fix an issue where playback of TrueHD streams would get stuck after
1341        seeking due to not finding a syncframe
1342        ([#3845](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3845)).
1343    *   Fix an issue with eac3-joc playback where a codec would fail to
1344        configure ([#4165](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4165)).
1345    *   Handle non-empty end-of-stream buffers, to fix gapless playback of
1346        streams with encoder padding when the decoder returns a non-empty final
1347        buffer.
1348    *   Allow trimming more than one sample when applying an elst audio edit via
1349        gapless playback info.
1350    *   Allow overriding skipping/scaling with custom `AudioProcessor`s
1351        ([#3142](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3142)).
1352*   Caching:
1353    *   Add release method to the `Cache` interface, and prevent multiple
1354        instances of `SimpleCache` using the same folder at the same time.
1355    *   Cache redirect URLs
1356        ([#2360](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2360)).
1357*   DRM:
1358    *   Allow multiple listeners for `DefaultDrmSessionManager`.
1359    *   Pass `DrmSessionManager` to `ExoPlayerFactory` instead of
1360        `RendererFactory`.
1361    *   Change minimum API requirement for CBC and pattern encryption from 24 to
1362        25 ([#4022](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4022)).
1363    *   Fix handling of 307/308 redirects when making license requests
1364        ([#4108](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4108)).
1365*   HLS:
1366    *   Fix playlist loading error propagation when the current selection does
1367        not include all of the playlist's variants.
1368    *   Fix SAMPLE-AES-CENC and SAMPLE-AES-CTR EXT-X-KEY methods
1369        ([#4145](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4145)).
1370    *   Preeptively declare an ID3 track in chunkless preparation
1371        ([#4016](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4016)).
1372    *   Add support for multiple #EXT-X-MAP tags in a media playlist
1373        ([#4164](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4182)).
1374    *   Fix seeking in live streams
1375        ([#4187](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4187)).
1376*   IMA extension:
1377    *   Allow setting the ad media load timeout
1378        ([#3691](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3691)).
1379    *   Expose ad load errors via `MediaSourceEventListener` on
1380        `AdsMediaSource`, and allow setting an ad event listener on
1381        `ImaAdsLoader`. Deprecate the `AdsMediaSource.EventListener`.
1382*   Add `AnalyticsListener` interface which can be registered in
1383    `SimpleExoPlayer` to receive detailed metadata for each ExoPlayer event.
1384*   Optimize seeking in FMP4 by enabling seeking to the nearest sync sample
1385    within a fragment. This benefits standalone FMP4 playbacks, DASH and
1386    SmoothStreaming.
1387*   Updated default max buffer length in `DefaultLoadControl`.
1388*   Fix ClearKey decryption error if the key contains a forward slash
1389    ([#4075](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4075)).
1390*   Fix crash when switching surface on Huawei P9 Lite
1391    ([#4084](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4084)), and Philips
1392    QM163E ([#4104](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4104)).
1393*   Support ZLIB compressed PGS subtitles.
1394*   Added `getPlaybackError` to `Player` interface.
1395*   Moved initial bitrate estimate from `AdaptiveTrackSelection` to
1396    `DefaultBandwidthMeter`.
1397*   Removed default renderer time offset of 60000000 from internal player. The
1398    actual renderer timestamp offset can be obtained by listening to
1399    `BaseRenderer.onStreamChanged`.
1400*   Added dependencies on checkerframework annotations for static code analysis.
1401
1402### 2.7.3 (2018-04-04)
1403
1404*   Fix ProGuard configuration for Cast, IMA and OkHttp extensions.
1405*   Update OkHttp extension to depend on OkHttp 3.10.0.
1406
1407### 2.7.2 (2018-03-29)
1408
1409*   Gradle: Upgrade Gradle version from 4.1 to 4.4 so it can work with Android
1410    Studio 3.1 ([#3708](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3708)).
1411*   Match codecs starting with "mp4a" to different Audio MimeTypes
1412    ([#3779](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3779)).
1413*   Fix ANR issue on Redmi 4X and Redmi Note 4
1414    ([#4006](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4006)).
1415*   Fix handling of zero padded strings when parsing Matroska streams
1416    ([#4010](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4010)).
1417*   Fix "Decoder input buffer too small" error when playing some FLAC streams.
1418*   MediaSession extension: Omit fast forward and rewind actions when media is
1419    not seekable ([#4001](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4001)).
1420
1421### 2.7.1 (2018-03-09)
1422
1423*   Gradle: Replaced 'compile' (deprecated) with 'implementation' and 'api'.
1424    This may lead to build breakage for applications upgrading from previous
1425    version that rely on indirect dependencies of certain modules. In such
1426    cases, application developers need to add the missing dependency to their
1427    gradle file. You can read more about the new dependency configurations
1428    [here](https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-plugin-3-0-0-migration.html#new_configurations).
1429*   HlsMediaSource: Make HLS periods start at zero instead of the epoch.
1430    Applications that rely on HLS timelines having a period starting at the
1431    epoch will need to update their handling of HLS timelines. The program date
1432    time is still available via the informational
1433    `Timeline.Window.windowStartTimeMs` field
1434    ([#3865](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3865),
1435    [#3888](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3888)).
1436*   Enable seeking in MP4 streams where duration is set incorrectly in the track
1437    header ([#3926](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3926)).
1438*   Video: Force rendering a frame periodically in `MediaCodecVideoRenderer` and
1439    `LibvpxVideoRenderer`, even if it is late.
1440
1441### 2.7.0 (2018-02-19)
1442
1443*   Player interface:
1444    *   Add optional parameter to `stop` to reset the player when stopping.
1445    *   Add a reason to `EventListener.onTimelineChanged` to distinguish between
1446        initial preparation, reset and dynamic updates.
1447    *   Add `Player.DISCONTINUITY_REASON_AD_INSERTION` to the possible reasons
1448        reported in `Eventlistener.onPositionDiscontinuity` to distinguish
1449        transitions to and from ads within one period from transitions between
1450        periods.
1451    *   Replaced `ExoPlayer.sendMessages` with `ExoPlayer.createMessage` to
1452        allow more customization of the message. Now supports setting a message
1453        delivery playback position and/or a delivery handler
1454        ([#2189](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2189)).
1455    *   Add `Player.VideoComponent`, `Player.TextComponent` and
1456        `Player.MetadataComponent` interfaces that define optional video, text
1457        and metadata output functionality. New `getVideoComponent`,
1458        `getTextComponent` and `getMetadataComponent` methods provide access to
1459        this functionality.
1460*   Add `ExoPlayer.setSeekParameters` for controlling how seek operations are
1461    performed. The `SeekParameters` class contains defaults for exact seeking
1462    and seeking to the closest sync points before, either side or after
1463    specified seek positions. `SeekParameters` are not currently supported when
1464    playing HLS streams.
1465*   DefaultTrackSelector:
1466    *   Replace `DefaultTrackSelector.Parameters` copy methods with a builder.
1467    *   Support disabling of individual text track selection flags.
1468*   Buffering:
1469    *   Allow a back-buffer of media to be retained behind the current playback
1470        position, for fast backward seeking. The back-buffer can be configured
1471        by custom `LoadControl` implementations.
1472    *   Add ability for `SequenceableLoader` to re-evaluate its buffer and
1473        discard buffered media so that it can be re-buffered in a different
1474        quality.
1475    *   Allow more flexible loading strategy when playing media containing
1476        multiple sub-streams, by allowing injection of custom
1477        `CompositeSequenceableLoader` factories through
1478        `DashMediaSource.Factory`, `HlsMediaSource.Factory`,
1479        `SsMediaSource.Factory`, and `MergingMediaSource`.
1480    *   Play out existing buffer before retrying for progressive live streams
1481        ([#1606](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/1606)).
1482*   UI:
1483    *   Generalized player and control views to allow them to bind with any
1484        `Player`, and renamed them to `PlayerView` and `PlayerControlView`
1485        respectively.
1486    *   Made `PlayerView` automatically apply video rotation when configured to
1487        use `TextureView`
1488        ([#91](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/91)).
1489    *   Made `PlayerView` play button behave correctly when the player is ended
1490        ([#3689](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3689)), and call a
1491        `PlaybackPreparer` when the player is idle.
1492*   DRM: Optimistically attempt playback of DRM protected content that does not
1493    declare scheme specific init data in the manifest. If playback of clear
1494    samples without keys is allowed, delay DRM session error propagation until
1495    keys are actually needed
1496    ([#3630](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3630)).
1497*   DASH:
1498    *   Support in-band Emsg events targeting the player with scheme id
1499        `urn:mpeg:dash:event:2012` and scheme values "1", "2" and "3".
1500    *   Support EventStream elements in DASH manifests.
1501*   HLS:
1502    *   Add opt-in support for chunkless preparation in HLS. This allows an HLS
1503        source to finish preparation without downloading any chunks, which can
1504        significantly reduce initial buffering time
1505        ([#3149](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3149)). More details
1506        can be found
1507        [here](https://medium.com/google-exoplayer/faster-hls-preparation-f6611aa15ea6).
1508    *   Fail if unable to sync with the Transport Stream, rather than entering
1509        stuck in an indefinite buffering state.
1510    *   Fix mime type propagation
1511        ([#3653](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3653)).
1512    *   Fix ID3 context reuse across segment format changes
1513        ([#3622](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3622)).
1514    *   Use long for media sequence numbers
1515        ([#3747](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3747))
1516    *   Add initial support for the EXT-X-GAP tag.
1517*   Audio:
1518    *   Support TrueHD passthrough for rechunked samples in Matroska files
1519        ([#2147](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2147)).
1520    *   Support resampling 24-bit and 32-bit integer to 32-bit float for high
1521        resolution output in `DefaultAudioSink`
1522        ([#3635](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/3635)).
1523*   Captions:
1524    *   Basic support for PGS subtitles
1525        ([#3008](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3008)).
1526    *   Fix handling of CEA-608 captions where multiple buffers have the same
1527        presentation timestamp
1528        ([#3782](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3782)).
1529*   Caching:
1530    *   Fix cache corruption issue
1531        ([#3762](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3762)).
1532    *   Implement periodic check in `CacheDataSource` to see whether it's
1533        possible to switch to reading/writing the cache having initially
1534        bypassed it.
1535*   IMA extension:
1536    *   Fix the player getting stuck when an ad group fails to load
1537        ([#3584](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3584)).
1538    *   Work around loadAd not being called beore the LOADED AdEvent arrives
1539        ([#3552](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3552)).
1540    *   Handle asset mismatch errors
1541        ([#3801](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3801)).
1542    *   Add support for playing non-Extractor content MediaSources in the IMA
1543        demo app ([#3676](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3676)).
1544    *   Fix handling of ad tags where ad groups are out of order
1545        ([#3716](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3716)).
1546    *   Fix handling of ad tags with only preroll/postroll ad groups
1547        ([#3715](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3715)).
1548    *   Propagate ad media preparation errors to IMA so that the ads can be
1549        skipped.
1550    *   Handle exceptions in IMA callbacks so that can be logged less verbosely.
1551*   New Cast extension. Simplifies toggling between local and Cast playbacks.
1552*   `EventLogger` moved from the demo app into the core library.
1553*   Fix ANR issue on the Huawei P8 Lite, Huawei Y6II, Moto C+, Meizu M5C, Lenovo
1554    K4 Note and Sony Xperia E5.
1555    ([#3724](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3724),
1556    [#3835](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3835)).
1557*   Fix potential NPE when removing media sources from a
1558    DynamicConcatenatingMediaSource
1559    ([#3796](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3796)).
1560*   Check `sys.display-size` on Philips ATVs
1561    ([#3807](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3807)).
1562*   Release `Extractor`s on the loading thread to avoid potentially leaking
1563    resources when the playback thread has quit by the time the loading task has
1564    completed.
1565*   ID3: Better handle malformed ID3 data
1566    ([#3792](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3792).
1567*   Support 14-bit mode and little endianness in DTS PES packets
1568    ([#3340](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3340)).
1569*   Demo app: Add ability to download not DRM protected content.
1570
1571### 2.6.1 (2017-12-15)
1572
1573*   Add factories to `ExtractorMediaSource`, `HlsMediaSource`, `SsMediaSource`,
1574    `DashMediaSource` and `SingleSampleMediaSource`.
1575*   Use the same listener `MediaSourceEventListener` for all MediaSource
1576    implementations.
1577*   IMA extension:
1578    *   Support non-ExtractorMediaSource ads
1579        ([#3302](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3302)).
1580    *   Skip ads before the ad preceding the player's initial seek position
1581        ([#3527](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3527)).
1582    *   Fix ad loading when there is no preroll.
1583    *   Add an option to turn off hiding controls during ad playback
1584        ([#3532](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3532)).
1585    *   Support specifying an ads response instead of an ad tag
1586        ([#3548](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3548)).
1587    *   Support overriding the ad load timeout
1588        ([#3556](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3556)).
1589*   DASH: Support time zone designators in ISO8601 UTCTiming elements
1590    ([#3524](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3524)).
1591*   Audio:
1592    *   Support 32-bit PCM float output from `DefaultAudioSink`, and add an
1593        option to use this with `FfmpegAudioRenderer`.
1594    *   Add support for extracting 32-bit WAVE files
1595        ([#3379](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3379)).
1596    *   Support extraction and decoding of Dolby Atmos
1597        ([#2465](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2465)).
1598    *   Fix handling of playback parameter changes while paused when followed by
1599        a seek.
1600*   SimpleExoPlayer: Allow multiple audio and video debug listeners.
1601*   DefaultTrackSelector: Support undefined language text track selection when
1602    the preferred language is not available
1603    ([#2980](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2980)).
1604*   Add options to `DefaultLoadControl` to set maximum buffer size in bytes and
1605    to choose whether size or time constraints are prioritized.

1609    ([#3188](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3188)).
1610*   CEA-608: Fix handling of row count changes in roll-up mode
1611    ([#3513](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3513)).
1612*   Prevent period transitions when seeking to the end of a period when paused
1613    ([#2439](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2439)).
1614
1615### 2.6.0 (2017-11-03)
1616
1617*   Removed "r" prefix from versions. This release is "2.6.0", not "r2.6.0".
1618*   New `Player.DefaultEventListener` abstract class can be extended to avoid
1619    having to implement all methods defined by `Player.EventListener`.
1620*   Added a reason to `EventListener.onPositionDiscontinuity`
1621    ([#3252](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/3252)).

2140
2141### r2.0.0 (2016-09-14)
2142
2143ExoPlayer 2.x is a major iteration of the library. It includes significant API
2144and architectural changes, new features and many bug fixes. You can read about
2145some of the motivations behind ExoPlayer 2.x
2146[here](https://medium.com/google-exoplayer/exoplayer-2-x-why-what-and-when-74fd9cb139#.am7h8nytm).
2147
2148*   Root package name changed to `com.google.android.exoplayer2`. The library
2149    structure and class names have also been sanitized. Read more
2150    [here](https://medium.com/google-exoplayer/exoplayer-2-x-new-package-and-class-names-ef8e1d9ba96f#.lv8sd4nez).
2151*   Key architectural changes:
2152    *   Late binding between rendering and media source components. Allows the
2153        same rendering components to be re-used from one playback to another.
2154        Enables features such as gapless playback through playlists and DASH
2155        multi-period support.
2156    *   Improved track selection design. More details can be found
2157        [here](https://medium.com/google-exoplayer/exoplayer-2-x-track-selection-2b62ff712cc9#.n00zo76b6).
2158    *   LoadControl now used to control buffering and loading across all
2159        playback types.
2160    *   Media source components given additional structure. A new MediaSource
2161        class has been introduced. MediaSources expose Timelines that describe
2162        the media they expose, and can consist of multiple MediaPeriods. This
2163        enables features such as seeking in live playbacks and DASH multi-period
2164        support.
2165    *   Responsibility for loading the initial DASH/SmoothStreaming/HLS manifest
2166        is promoted to the corresponding MediaSource components and is no longer
2167        the application's responsibility.
2168    *   Higher level abstractions such as SimpleExoPlayer have been added to the
2169        library. These make the library easier to use for common use cases. The
2170        demo app is halved in size as a result, whilst at the same time gaining
2171        more functionality. Read more
2172        [here](https://medium.com/google-exoplayer/exoplayer-2-x-improved-demo-app-d97171aaaaa1).
2173    *   Enhanced library support for implementing audio extensions. Read more
2174        [here](https://medium.com/google-exoplayer/exoplayer-2-x-new-audio-features-cfb26c2883a#.ua75vu4s3).
2175    *   Format and MediaFormat are replaced by a single Format class.
2176*   Key new features:
2177    *   Playlist support. Includes support for gapless playback between playlist
2178        items and consistent application of LoadControl and TrackSelector
2179        policies when transitioning between items
2180        ([#1270](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/1270)).
2181    *   Seeking in live playbacks for DASH and SmoothStreaming
2182        ([#291](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/291)).
2183    *   DASH multi-period support
2184        ([#557](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/557)).
2185    *   MediaSource composition allows MediaSources to be concatenated into a
2186        playlist, merged and looped. Read more
2187        [here](https://medium.com/google-exoplayer/exoplayer-2-x-mediasource-composition-6c285fcbca1f#.zfha8qupz).
2188    *   Looping support (see above)
2189        ([#490](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/490)).
2190    *   Ability to query information about all tracks in a piece of media
2191        (including those not supported by the device)
2192        ([#1121](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/1121)).
2193    *   Improved player controls.
2194    *   Support for PSSH in fMP4 moof atoms
2195        ([#1143](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/1143)).
2196    *   Support for Opus in Ogg
2197        ([#1447](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/1447)).
2198    *   CacheDataSource support for standalone media file playbacks (mp3, mp4
2199        etc).
2200    *   FFMPEG extension (for audio only).
2201*   Key bug fixes:
2202    *   Removed unnecessary secondary requests when playing standalone media
2203        files ([#1041](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/1041)).
2204    *   Fixed playback of video only (i.e. no audio) live streams
2205        ([#758](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/758)).
2206    *   Fixed silent failure when media buffer is too small
2207        ([#583](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/583)).
2208    *   Suppressed "Sending message to a Handler on a dead thread" warnings
2209        ([#426](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/426)).
2210
2211# Legacy release notes
2212
2213Note: Since ExoPlayer V1 is still being maintained alongside V2, there is some
2214overlap between these notes and the notes above. r2.0.0 followed from r1.5.11,
