1# ExoPlayer RTMP extension #
2
3The RTMP extension is a [DataSource][] implementation for playing [RTMP][]
4streams using [LibRtmp Client for Android][].

14Android, which is licensed separately.

18## Getting the extension ##
19
20The easiest way to use the extension is to add it as a gradle dependency:
21
22```gradle
23implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:extension-rtmp:2.X.X'
24```
25
26where `2.X.X` is the version, which must match the version of the ExoPlayer
27library being used.
28
29Alternatively, you can clone the ExoPlayer repository and depend on the module
30locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in ExoPlayer's
31[top level README][].

35## Using the extension ##
36
37ExoPlayer requests data through `DataSource` instances. These instances are
38either instantiated and injected from application code, or obtained from
39instances of `DataSource.Factory` that are instantiated and injected from
40application code.
41
42`DefaultDataSource` will automatically use the RTMP extension whenever it's
43available. Hence if your application is using `DefaultDataSource` or
44`DefaultDataSourceFactory`, adding support for RTMP streams is as simple as
45adding a dependency to the RTMP extension as described above. No changes to your
46application code are required. Alternatively, if you know that your application
47doesn't need to handle any other protocols, you can update any `DataSource`s and
48`DataSource.Factory` instantiations in your application code to use
49`RtmpDataSource` and `RtmpDataSourceFactory` directly.
