# Class PlayerSDK

java.lang.Object
com.castlabs.android.PlayerSDK

public final class PlayerSDK extends Object
This class provides the required methods to initialize the castLabs SDK and register additional components and plugins. Note that before you can use the SDK in your application you have to call `init(Context)` or `init(Context, LicenseLoader)` to initialize the SDK.

## Global configuration

The following application can be configured globally as static member of this class:

- `SECURE_SURFACE_VIEW_DISABLED` to disable the usage of the secured surface view. See `SurfaceView.setSecure(boolean)`
- `FORCE_UNSECURED_DECODER` enforces the usage of the unsecured video decoders

Since:
  1.0.0

  ### Methods inherited from class java.lang.Object

  `equals, getClass, hashCode, notify, notifyAll, toString, wait, wait, wait`

- ## Field Details

  - ### SECURE_SURFACE_VIEW_DISABLED

    public static boolean SECURE_SURFACE_VIEW_DISABLED
    Disable Secure SurfaceView

  - ### FORCE_UNSECURED_DECODER

    public static boolean FORCE_UNSECURED_DECODER
    Disable the usage of the secure decoder pipeline. Note that this will prevent playback of protected content on some devices.

  - ### FORCE_WIDEVINE_L3

    public static boolean FORCE_WIDEVINE_L3
    Deprecated.
    use `DrmConfiguration.forceWidevineL3` instead, or `DrmTodayConfiguration.Builder.forceWidevineL3(boolean)` if using DrmTodayConfiguration.
    If set to true, Widevine L3 will be enforces. Note that this will prevent playback of DRM content where the license requires L1 security.

    This flag can be set for certain devices that are known to have broken secure decoder implementation to allow Widevine protected content playback.

  - ### ENABLE_MAX_REF_FRAME_WORKAROUND

    public static boolean ENABLE_MAX_REF_FRAME_WORKAROUND
    Enable a codec workaround that disables codec-reconfiguration on some devices. The devices list currently covers Huawei P7 and P8-Lite as well as Qualcomm CPU. The workaround seems to be needed if the decoder is initialized with no B-Frame support and then switches to a track with B-Frames. In that case re-configuration is not sufficient and a full decoder reset is required.

    Please note that the same effect can be achieved bu setting `FAST_BITRATE_SWITCHING` to `SdkConsts.FAST_BITRATE_SWITCHING_DISABLED` in case there are other devices that need this workaround.

    More information can be found at https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2416

  - ### SECONDARY_DISPLAY

    public static int SECONDARY_DISPLAY
    Use this flag to configure handling of secondary displays. Secondary displays are registered when an external HDMI display is connected (for phones and tablets) or screen mirriring is enabled. This is the default setting that will be used for all player instances. The default is `SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_ALLOW_UNPROTECTED_CONTENT | SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_ALLOW_SECURE_DISPLAY` which will always allow the usage of a secondary display for unprotected content and will allow a secondary display for protected content if the secondary display is considered secure (both flags `Display.FLAG_SECURE` and `Display.FLAG_SUPPORTS_PROTECTED_BUFFERS` are set to `true`). Note that this is the default setting that will be applied to all player instances, but you can use `PlayerController.setSecondaryDisplay(int)` to overwrite the default per player instance.

  - ### PLAYBACK_HD_CONTENT

    public static int PLAYBACK_HD_CONTENT
    The default setting for HD content filter. This is a bit field consisting of the values of `SdkConsts.ALLOW_HD_CLEAR_CONTENT`, `SdkConsts.ALLOW_HD_DRM_ROOT_OF_TRUST`, `SdkConsts.ALLOW_HD_DRM_SECURE_MEDIA_PATH`, `SdkConsts.ALLOW_HD_NEVER`, and `SdkConsts.ALLOW_HD_DRM_SOFTWARE`.

    The value here specifies under which circumstances HD representations are allowed and will not be filtered away. The default setting is: `SdkConsts.ALLOW_HD_CLEAR_CONTENT | SdkConsts.ALLOW_HD_DRM_SECURE_MEDIA_PATH`. This allows playback of HD content for unencrypted streams or for streams that are protected with a DRM that supports `SecurityLevel.SECURE_MEDIA_PATH`. This field holds the global default, but you can specify a content specific setting using the player controllers `PlayerController.setHdPlaybackEnabled(int)`

  - ### VIDEO_CODEC_FILTER

    public static int VIDEO_CODEC_FILTER
    The default global video codec filter used to configure the video codec filtering. This value should be one of `SdkConsts.VIDEO_CODEC_FILTER_NONE` or `SdkConsts.VIDEO_CODEC_FILTER_CAPS` The default one is `SdkConsts.VIDEO_CODEC_FILTER_CAPS`. It is overwritten for single playback session by the value of the key `SdkConsts.INTENT_VIDEO_CODEC_FILTER` when the latter is set.

  - ### ENABLE_VIDEO_DECODER_FALLBACK

    public static boolean ENABLE_VIDEO_DECODER_FALLBACK
    If true (default), allows the player to fallback to other decoders if it failed to initialize the primary decoder. This can for instance happen if the primary decoder is a hardware implementation and is already blocked by another playback session. In that case, secondary decoders, i.e. software implementations, will be used if possible.

  - ### ENABLE_AUDIO_DECODER_FALLBACK

    public static boolean ENABLE_AUDIO_DECODER_FALLBACK
    If true (default), allows the player to fallback to other decoders if it failed to initialize the primary decoder. This can for instance happen if the primary decoder is a hardware implementation and is already blocked by another playback session. In that case, secondary decoders, i.e. software implementations, will be used if possible.

  - ### ENABLE_UNSECURE_DECODER_FALLBACK

    public static boolean ENABLE_UNSECURE_DECODER_FALLBACK
    If true (default), allows the player to fallback to unsecure decoders if it failed to initialize the primary decoder. This requires that the video decoder fallback is enabled.

  - ### SEEK_MODE

    public static int SEEK_MODE
    Player mode parameter that is applied to seeking. Seeking to sync points is typically faster but less accurate than exact seeking. One of `SdkConsts.SEEK_EXACT`, `SdkConsts.SEEK_PREVIOUS_SYNC`, `SdkConsts.SEEK_NEXT_SYNC` or `SdkConsts.SEEK_CLOSEST_SYNC`. Default is `SdkConsts.SEEK_EXACT`

This value should be a valid `Point` (w x h) or one of `SdkConsts.VIDEO_SIZE_FILTER_AUTO`, `SdkConsts.VIDEO_SIZE_FILTER_NONE`. The default one is `SdkConsts.VIDEO_SIZE_FILTER_AUTO`. It is overwritten for single playback session by the value of the key `SdkConsts.INTENT_VIDEO_SIZE_FILTER` when the latter is set. Note When setting the value to other than `SdkConsts.VIDEO_SIZE_FILTER_AUTO` it is strongly recommended to set the `VIDEO_CODEC_FILTER` to `SdkConsts.VIDEO_CODEC_FILTER_CAPS` otherwise the video streams with high resolutions will be forced to play on devices that may not have support for it.

  - ### VIDEO_FILTER

    @NonNull public static VideoFilterConfiguration VIDEO_FILTER
    The default global `VideoFilterConfiguration` to use in order to filter video qualities. Applied to both ads and content tracks. Can be an instance of `VideoFilterConfiguration`, or one of `SdkConsts.VIDEO_FILTER_AUTO` or `SdkConsts.VIDEO_FILTER_NONE`. The default one is `SdkConsts.VIDEO_FILTER_AUTO`. It is overwritten for single playback session by the value of the key `SdkConsts.INTENT_VIDEO_FILTER` when the latter is set. Note When setting the value to other than `SdkConsts.VIDEO_FILTER_AUTO` it is strongly recommended to set the `VIDEO_CODEC_FILTER` to `SdkConsts.VIDEO_CODEC_FILTER_CAPS` otherwise the video streams with high resolutions will be forced to play on devices that may not have support for it.

  - ### CRASHLOG_AUTO_REPORT

    public static int CRASHLOG_AUTO_REPORT
    Configure the exception severity that will cause the `Crashlog.report(Throwable)` to be triggered automatically. This should be one of `CastlabsPlayerException.SEVERITY_INFO`, `CastlabsPlayerException.SEVERITY_WARNING`, `CastlabsPlayerException.SEVERITY_ERROR`, or `-1` to disable all automated crash reports.

    By default errors with severity `CastlabsPlayerException.SEVERITY_INFO` or higher will be reported.

  - ### FAST_BITRATE_SWITCHING

    public static int FAST_BITRATE_SWITCHING
    By default, the player queries the currently selected video codec if it supports fast adaptive bitrate switching (`SdkConsts.FAST_BITRATE_SWITCHING_AUTO`). There are however devices where the codec reports an incorrect value. For these devices, you can force the setting to either `SdkConsts.FAST_BITRATE_SWITCHING_ENABLED` or `SdkConsts.FAST_BITRATE_SWITCHING_DISABLED`.

    Set this field to one of `SdkConsts.FAST_BITRATE_SWITCHING_AUTO` (default), `SdkConsts.FAST_BITRATE_SWITCHING_ENABLED`, or `SdkConsts.FAST_BITRATE_SWITCHING_DISABLED`.

  - ### ENABLE_TRICK_MODE_TRACK_SWITCH

    public static boolean ENABLE_TRICK_MODE_TRACK_SWITCH
    Deprecated.
    Use `TrickplayConfiguration.preferTrickPlayTracks` instead
    By default, the player will not switch to any trick mode tracks when the playback speed is changed and will stay on the current video track. Set the value to `true` to use the trick mode track when the latter is available

  - ### ENABLE_CONNECTIVITY_CHECKS

    public static boolean ENABLE_CONNECTIVITY_CHECKS
    By default, the player will not automatically recover from loss of connectivity. Setting this flag to `true` will enable automatic recovery in case the device will loose internet connectivity.
    See Also:
      - `CONNECTIVITY_CHECKER`

  - ### CONNECTIVITY_CHECK_PERIOD_MS

    public static int CONNECTIVITY_CHECK_PERIOD_MS
    Period in ms, used to poll the device's connectivity, when `ENABLE_CONNECTIVITY_CHECKS` is enabled
    See Also:
      - `CONNECTIVITY_CHECKER`

  - ### PLAYBACK_POSITION_PERIOD_MS

    public static long PLAYBACK_POSITION_PERIOD_MS
    Interval in ms used to post playback position updates Default is `1000L`

  - ### DUMMY_SURFACE_MODE

    public static int DUMMY_SURFACE_MODE
    By default the player queries the device API version and internal API for support of the GL based dummy surface for faster and smoother transitions when the playback surface is attached/detached from the video codec.

    This feature is used, for instance, when client side Ad insertion is enabled through the IMA plugin.

    On some devices though, the GL support for the dummy surface and is not properly implemented. In this case, this flag can be use to disable the auto detection mode and manually enable or disable the usage of the dummy surface by setting this flag to `SdkConsts.DUMMY_SURFACE_ENABLED` or `SdkConsts.DUMMY_SURFACE_DISABLED`.

    Please note that this flag is automatically adjusted during the initialization of the SDK based on the current device. If you intent to change the value if this flag, make sure you change it before the call to `init(Context)`.

  - ### PRESCAN_DASH_MANIFESTS

    public static boolean PRESCAN_DASH_MANIFESTS
    Enable this options if you have to play DASH Manifests that are not spec conform and define AdaptationSets' before BaseURLs'. The spec defines the entries in a Period in the Manifest as a sequence where the order matters and BaseURL entries should appear before other entries. Enabling this options causes the Manifest parser to pre-scan the Manifest for BaseURL entries.

    Another use-case to enable pre-scan option is when DASH-IF:Laurls are not defined in all the ContentProtection elements and the URL entries can be re-used from where defined with DRM types and KeyIds (PSSH data) on those elements being equal.

    Note that this means the parser needs to scan the Manifest twice and you should only enable this if it is necessary.

  - ### HTTP_DATASOURCE_BUILDER

    @NonNull public static HttpDataSourceBuilder HTTP_DATASOURCE_BUILDER
    The HTTP data source factory that is used to create http data sources. Note that is us a public field because it is used by some plugins and extensions but you usually do not need to set this field manually!

  - ### VIDEO_CODEC_ADAPTER_FACTORY

    @Nullable public static com.google.android.exoplayer2.mediacodec.MediaCodecAdapter.Factory VIDEO_CODEC_ADAPTER_FACTORY
    Factory for creating `MediaCodecAdapter` instances for video playback. When set to `null` then the default `DefaultVideoCodecAdapterFactory` is used

    Replace with a custom factory for advanced use cases like custom codec selection or behavior.

  - ### SUBTITLE_PREVIEW_BUILDER

    @Nullable public static SubtitlesPreviewBuilder SUBTITLE_PREVIEW_BUILDER
    Static property that can be set (usually by plugins) to register a preview builder that is in turn used to create subtitle preview views.

  - ### CONNECTIVITY_CHECKER

    @Nullable public static ConnectivityCheck CONNECTIVITY_CHECKER
    The default connectivity check that will be used at runtime to check for internet connectivity.

  - ### FORCE_SINGLE_DRM_SESSION

    public static boolean FORCE_SINGLE_DRM_SESSION
    By default the player creates two DRM sessions, one for Audio, and one for Video. If you are certain that the DRM backend returns all required license keys with one request, you can use this flag to enforce only one DRM session.

  - ### FORCE_DRM_LICENSE_PREFETCH

    public static boolean FORCE_DRM_LICENSE_PREFETCH
    By default the player pre-fetches the license as soon as tracks are selected and segments are ready to be downloaded. This provides smooth period transitions with `PlayerController` and smooth items transitions with `SingleControllerPlaylist`. If disabled, then the license will only be acquired when needed for decryption by a renderer.

  - ### ENABLE_DRM_PLACEHOLDER_SESSION

    public static boolean ENABLE_DRM_PLACEHOLDER_SESSION
    The player selects unsecure codec when starting playing clear part of the content e.g. DASH period. Then, when the content is switched to the encrypted one, the unsecure codec is closed and is replaced with a secure one. The user may experience a black screen while the codec is changed. Note that the unsecure codec is selected even if the secure one is forced via player configuration. This flag when enabled, allows to select the secure codec even if the playback starts with content clear part. The default is Util.SDK_INT >= 23. The placeholder is disabled for older devices by default as not all the devices below API 23 may support DRM session sharing needed for placeholder to work correctly.

  - ### DEFAULT_DRM_CONFIGURATION

    @Nullable public static DrmConfiguration DEFAULT_DRM_CONFIGURATION
    Default DRM configuration to be used when no DRM configuration is contained in `PlayerConfig`. By default this configuration is not defined and equals to `null`. The common use-case to define it is when DASH manifest contains DRM urls e.g. DASH-IF:Laurl elements: DEFAULT_DRM_CONFIGURATION = DrmConfiguration.DEFAULT or any other constructed configuration.

    Note that when DRM configuration is defined here, then the player expects encrypted content and the clear content will be played out using secure decoders where possible.

  - ### DEFAULT_DRM_PREFER_MANIFEST_URL

    public static boolean DEFAULT_DRM_PREFER_MANIFEST_URL
    If true, then any non-empty DRM URL found in the manifest will be used instead of `DrmConfiguration.url` Default is false

  - ### ENABLE_DRM_FALLBACK

    public static boolean ENABLE_DRM_FALLBACK
    When multiple `Drm` systems are present on a device and one of them fails locally then the playback is automatically restarted and configured with another DRM type being available. The fallback works with `DrmTodayConfiguration` only and when `DrmConfiguration.drm` is specified as `Drm.BestAvailable`. The fallback can be disabled by setting this flag to `false`. The most secure after the failed DRM is selected always during the fallback. Note that the video quality may degrade after the DRM fallback, consider for example OMA not allowing HD playback. Examples of possible DRM fallbacks: Widevine to PlayReady, Widevine to OMA, Widevine to PlayReady to OMA.

  - ### ENABLE_CDM_KEY_STATUS

    public static boolean ENABLE_CDM_KEY_STATUS
    Key status change listener can be installed to CDM's starting API 23 and is used to get statuses of known key ids. Can be overridden with true or false

  - ### FORCE_VIDEO_CODEC_MAX_INPUT_SIZE_UNKNOWN

    public static boolean FORCE_VIDEO_CODEC_MAX_INPUT_SIZE_UNKNOWN
    By default the player will deduce the maximum input size that is used to configure the video codec via `MediaFormat` and the `MediaFormat.KEY_MAX_INPUT_SIZE` key. On some devices, the internal buffer size might not be set correctly and will be to small. You can try to set this flag to true on such devices to work around this issue.

    Note it is generally advised to use this on targeted devices only where this actually works around in issue in the codec implementation.

    Since:
      4.1.6

  - ### ENABLE_FATAL_RETRY_MIME_APPLICATION

    public static boolean ENABLE_FATAL_RETRY_MIME_APPLICATION

    If specified, the callback implementation will be triggered on the main thread and inform about the current system status. Please note that this might happen multiple times.

    The system status is evaluated when the SDK is initialized so please make sure that you are setting this callback before you call `init(Context, String)`.

  - ### FORCE_HDCP_EXCEPTION

    public static boolean FORCE_HDCP_EXCEPTION
    If set to true, the behavior of the sdk on HDMI disconnect/hdcp disconnects would be to throw a fatal exception to indicate a crypto error as well as an info exception to indicate HDMI disconnection. The default behavior is for it be false where the SDK would only throw an exception with severity INFO to indicate HDMI/HDCP disconnect and pause till reconnection is achieved.

  - ### FORCE_REOPEN_ON_HDCP_STATE_CHANGE

    public static boolean FORCE_REOPEN_ON_HDCP_STATE_CHANGE
    Sets the behaviour when `FORCE_HDCP_EXCEPTION` is `false`, otherwise the option is ignored. If set to `true` then the playback will be closed and then re-opened when HDCP state allows playback, otherwise (default) the playback will not be closed but the video qualities not allowed for playback will be disabled.

  - ### HDCP_EXCEPTION_TIMEOUT_MS

    public static long HDCP_EXCEPTION_TIMEOUT_MS
    This is the time in milliseconds to wait for DRM key to change its status from `KeyStatus.OutputNotAllowed` to `KeyStatus.Usable` before throwing an exception. The timeout is needed when HDMI-display only device is turned on together with HDMI-display and playback starts shortly. It may be the case that HDCP session is not ready yet and needs some more time to complete its setup, so that the playback has to wait. After the timeout the playback will throw CryptoException assuming the output digital requirements can not be met on the current device. Set to {literal 0} to disable the timeout.

  - ### HDMI_CONNECTION_DELAY_MS

    public static long HDMI_CONNECTION_DELAY_MS
    This is the time in milliseconds to delay the HDMI connection event. The delay is what usually required for the device to setup HDCP session with external display. Devices with API >= 23 does not need this delay as they are operating within `HDCP_EXCEPTION_TIMEOUT_MS` timeout. For other devices this value is defaulted to 3000 ms. Therefore, when the player is re-opening the stream upon HDMI event then it will wait for the specified delay.

  - ### FATAL_ERROR_ON_SECONDARY_DISPLAY_NOT_ALLOWED

    public static boolean FATAL_ERROR_ON_SECONDARY_DISPLAY_NOT_ALLOWED
    The default value is true. If set to false, then no fatal error is raised when trying to connect to the secondary display while not permitted.

    public static void addLegacyDeviceScreenResolution(String manufacturer, String model)
    Add a device for which its screen dimensions will be read using the legacy approach.

    It has been seen that on some STBs, the underlying new APIs are not reliable while the approach for Android versions < 25 results in the expected behaviour.

    Note that this method won't work with all devices, and it is specially likely not to work with devices running on API >=25.

    In case the legacy method is forced for a device, but no resolution is available through it, it will default to the standard behaviour.

    Parameters:
      `manufacturer` - manufacturer of the device, as found in `Build.MANUFACTURER`
      `model` - manufacturer of the device, as found in `Build.MODEL`
