Class PlayerController

java.lang.Object
com.castlabs.android.player.PlayerController
Direct Known Subclasses:
SingleControllerPlaylist
public class PlayerController extends Object
This class allows you to control and manage the video player instance and receive feedback during playback.

Note that you usually do not need to create instances of the controller manually. Use the PlayerView implementation and its PlayerView.getPlayerController() method to get the controller instance for the current view.

You can add PlayerListener instances to this controller to get informed about state changes of the underlying player. All listener methods are called from within the main thread of your application.

      public int getSecondaryDisplay()
      The secondary display setting, which is a bitmap of SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_NEVER, SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_ALLOW_UNPROTECTED_CONTENT, SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_ALLOW_SECURE_DISPLAY, and SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_ALLOW_ALWAYS.

      Returns:
      The secondary display setting

    • setSecondaryDisplay

      public void setSecondaryDisplay(int secondaryDisplay)
      The secondary display setting, which is a bitmap of SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_NEVER, SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_ALLOW_UNPROTECTED_CONTENT, SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_ALLOW_SECURE_DISPLAY, and SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_ALLOW_ALWAYS. The setting is initialised to PlayerSDK.SECONDARY_DISPLAY at construction time.

      This setting is checked when playback is initialized or a display is connected and an error of type CastlabsPlayerException.TYPE_SECONDARY_DISPLAY will raised if the setting is not compatible with the current display configuration. The player controller will also register a listener and raise an error when the display configuration changes during playback. As DRM licenses can prevent playback on secondary, insecure, or remote screens. The player will, by default, add a listener to the MediaRouter system service in order to process changes in display configurations. It's been observed that, in some specific devices, the MediaRouter service can't be acquired. In such cases, it's recommended to set this flag to SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_ALLOW_ALWAYS. Note that disabling these screen configuration enforcements might allow playback in circumstances what would otherwise be prevented by the license. If set to SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_ALLOW_ALWAYS and playback is opened, no display configuration checks will take place even if this field is updated afterwards.
      Parameters:
      secondaryDisplay - The secondary display setting

    • open

      public void open(@NonNull Bundle bundle)
      This method takes a Bundle and extracts the information to create a PlayerConfig from the bundle. The following bundle keys are queried to create the playback state: The following keys will be checked:

      In addition, you can use SdkConsts.INTENT_QUERY_PARAMS_BUNDLE and SdkConsts.INTENT_HEADER_PARAMS_BUNDLE to configure and add query and header parameters that will be send with each request. This can for example be used to add tokens when remote resources are requested. In both cases, the bundle needs to reference another Bundle instance that is then used as a key/value store for the query or header parameters.

      You can also use SdkConsts.INTENT_SUBTITLE_BUNDLE_ARRAYLIST to side-load additional subtitle tracks through the bundle. Use the key to store an ArrayList of Bundle instances that specify side loaded tracks. Use intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(SdkConsts.INTENT_SUBTITLE_BUNDLE_ARRAYLIST, ...); to add the list of bundles with the subtitle track information. A full example of this looks like: 

      
 ArrayList<Bunde> subtitles = new ArrayList<>();
 Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
 bundle.putString(SdkConsts.INTENT_SUBTITLE_URL, "https://my.com/subtitle.ttml");
 bundle.putString(SdkConsts.INTENT_SUBTITLE_MIME_TYPE, SdkConsts.MIME_TYPE_TTML);
 bundle.putString(SdkConsts.INTENT_SUBTITLE_LANGUAGE, "en");
 bundle.putString(SdkConsts.INTENT_SUBTITLE_NAME, "Side-loaded");
 subtitles.add(bundle);
 intent.putExtra(SdkConsts.INTENT_SUBTITLE_BUNDLE_ARRAYLIST, subtitles);
