# 4.2.86

---
**Changes**

* Fix to avoid freeze when total number of ADs in a Pod unexpectedly decrements without notification
* Added support for ``dashif:Laurl``. In this case ``DrmConfiguration`` may not be provided to the player at all,
as it does not require to have any DRM URL. When ``DrmConfiguration`` is provided and it contains DRM URL then it overrides ``dashif:Laurl``,
check the manual for more details in DRM Protection, section DRM URL.
* Added customizable ``PlayerSDK.DEFAULT_DRM_CONFIGURATION`` to configure DRM when the one is not provided by the application.
* Added ``DrmConfiguration.Builder`` as a better way to create ``DrmConfiguration``.

* Removed unneeded Youbora library.

# 4.2.84

---
**Changes**

 actual positions of the thumbnails in a list and the second one returns a thumbnail position close to the
 requested position.
* Added Flag ``preferLatencyOverBufferSafety`` as a ``LiveConfiguration`` for streams that support Low Latency.
 This configuration can cause further delay in stream loading since we attempt to seek closer to the Live Edge when 
 specified. 
* Add ``ThumbnailProvider.cancelRequests`` method to cancel explicit queued Requests. Note that this
 won't cancel any already in-flight request.
* The content type of M4A and M4V is now automatically detected, eliminating the need for manual definition.
* Removed ``ChannelsPlugin``. If similar functionality is required, migrate to using the ``MultiControllerPlaylist``.
* Stability and performance improvements in ``StandaloneThumbnailProvider``.

 is used. Additionally, an ``IndexRefreshListener`` can be added to the ``ThumbnailProvider`` to
 get notified when such a refresh takes place.
* Added missing javadoc documentation for the Subtitles Styles API. 
* Improved Ad API. ``AdInterface`` has new events: ``adPaused``, ``adResumed`` and ``adClicked`` methods.
 ``Ad`` now contains info about the ad pod it belongs to.

* Updated Broadpeak's smartlib to version 05.00.03.

# 4.2.82

---
**Changes**

 and not from the default one.
* Added ``PlayerSDK.PLAYBACK_POSITION_PERIOD_MS`` to customize the interval of playback position updates (**API Change**)
* ``EventStreamListListener`` is added to provide all the events corresponding to the event-streams
 as a list. This listener could be added by the ``addEventStreamListListener`` method of the PlayerController.
* Added ``RequestQueuePosition`` for ``ThumbnailProvider``. By setting the ``RequestQueuePosition`` to ``AddFront``, 
 thumbnail requests will be enqueued at the beginning of the loading queue.
* Improved the stability of ``ThumbnailProvider``.
* Fixed wrong DASH thumbnail URL calculation for live streams. Regression introduced in 4.2.81. 
* Fixed exception in ``DebugPlugin`` when ``logTimingDebugInfo`` is enabled for ``SingleControllerPlaylist`` playback

* Added ``InitialPositionProvider.snapToSegmentStart`` to snap to the previous sync point (**API Change**)
* ``disableAutoFlowText`` property is added to the ``SubtitlesStyle`` and If set to true the auto-flow text
behaviour will be disabled regardless of the font-size and the font-scale.
* Added Media MimeType reporting for ``VideoTrackQuality``, ``AudioTrack`` and ``SubtitleTrack``. This
 informs about the *media* mime type in opposition to the *codec* mime type which was already present in the model.

corresponding to ``EventStream`` in DASH manifest.
* Upgrade Conviva SDK and fix issues.
* Added experimental feature to disable video qualities causing video frame drops, see ``Video quality blocklist`` section (**Behaviour Change**)
* ``adWillStart`` event is added to the ``AnalyticsSession`` and ``AdInterface`` and is called when
the ad starts loading. (**API Change**)
* Added ``ThumbnailProvider.getThumbnail`` API working with ``Future``.

In order to revert to not setting Surface Framerates you may disable it by setting ``PlayerController.setChangeFramerateStrategy`` to
``VIDEO_CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_STRATEGY_OFF``. Applications wishing to use ``Surface#CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_ALWAYS`` should set the mode to
VIDEO_CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_STRATEGY_OFF to disable calls to Surface#setFrameRate from the player, and should then call Surface#setFrameRate
directly from application.

``AudioRendererListener`` in order to notify audio mismatch events. (**API Change**)
* Added ``BufferConfiguration.prioritizeInstreamOverManifestDuration`` flag to control whether the loader 
calculates the buffered duration based on the manifest (e.g. duration tags) or audio/video segment durations.
The default is to use the audio/video segment durations (**Behaviour Change**)
* Fixed an issue when playback is transitioned to the next protected item in ``SingleControllerPlaylist`` with disabled audio or video track.
* Added ``LoadControlListener`` to listen to load control events and integrated it with ``DebugPlugin``
* ``subtitleSubSampleType`` is added to the ``PlayerConfig``. It could be ``SUBTITLE_SUB_SAMPLE_TYPE_ABSOLUTE``

---
**Changes**

* Fixed regression when playback in tunnelling mode can not be started on devices with API >= 23 
* Subtitle Presentation, Log and Subtitle Base are now moved out of Prestoplay since they are common 
dependencies for the TV SDK. This should be purely an internal change, however the App must ensure 
that these AARs are included in their final Apk.
* Update RTP Implementation with RTCP Support
* Support for Teletext Subtitles(IPTV TS Playback) when PTS is out of range
* Fixed an issue when the app is put to the background and brought to the foreground after a few

* Improved behaviour of ``ThumbnailProvider.getThumbnail``: now thumbnails will always be resolved
 precisely, multiple calls can be invoked in parallel without waiting for preceding ones and callbacks
 will always be invoked, even if the data couldn't be fetched or the request gets cancelled. Explicit
 thumbnail requests will also take precedence and prioritized over the background thumbnail loads.
* Added multithreaded Thumbnail loading. Default is 2 threads. Configurable via
 ``ThumbsPlugin.setThumbnailLoadThreads`` before playback start.

# 4.2.72

---
**Changes**

* Thumbnail loading order now prioritizes the current playback position.
* Player release and Surface setting timeouts. This helps avoiding ANRs as a workaround in case an
 underlying component, such as a decoder, is unresponsive. Timeouts are configurable through ``PlayerSDK``.
* Fixed an issue where the ``CatchupConfiguration`` might be applied to VoD streams if using ``SingleControllerPlaylist``.
* Fixed ``PlayerController``'s ``isLive`` method. It previously reported whether the current Window
  was expecting a manifest update, which didn't necessarily represent whether a stream was live or not. (**Behaviour Change**)

# 4.2.71

---
**Changes**

* [IPTV] Sync -Ensure Audio of content is only passed after Video even if Audio is ahead.
* Playback will be paused if all the qualities are not playable due to HDCP restrictions (**Behaviour change**)
 Use ``PlayerSDK.PAUSE_ON_HDMI_DISCONNECTED`` or ``SdkConsts.INTENT_PAUSE_ON_HDMI_DISCONNECTED`` to change 
 default behaviour.
* Fix Race Condition in Single Controller PlayList most seen with IPTV Playback
* Fixed ``liveEdgeLatency`` not taking effect for live HLS streams. If informed, it will take precedence
  over ``hlsLiveTailSegmentIndex``.
* Added response headers to ``StreamingEventListener`` methods. (**API Change**)
* Fix Mux issue for reporting CDN value.
* SingleControllerPlaylist: apply each item's live configuration.
* SingleControllerPlaylist might alter the configurations passed in to the ``open`` method. This
 implies that all APIs which operate on ``PlayerConfig`` instances will do so in relation to what's
 currently in the playlist, as provided by ``getPlaylist()`` (**Behaviour change**)
* Added API to change the thumbnails ``LoadingStrategy`` after plugin initialization.
* Fixed thumbnails not starting to immediately load when the load start delay was set to ``0``. 

# 4.2.70

---
**Changes**

* Added ``onPlaylistEnded`` method to SingleControllerPlaylist.PlaylistListener. (**API Change**)
* Improved handling of Discontinuity in Multicast Streams where Audio is ahead and made it configurable
* Added support for bandwidth estimation parsing out of CMSD headers. This feature has to be enabled
 in the ``AbrConfiguration``.
* Fixed ``ResponseModifiers`` not accumulating modifications from successive modifiers.
* Added ``HybridController`` support to enable DVB/IPTV playback with WVCAS Support. This requires the 
 device to be TunerFramework compatible. This also requires the CastLabsServiceApplication to be installed 
 on the device /system/priv-app folder which requires System privileges to operate. Example usage can be 
 found under the examples/hybrid_demos application.
* Fixed ``PlayerController`` deadlock when calling ``release`` when transitioning to ``Preparing`` state.
* Fixed potential ANR when releasing the ``PlayerController`` during thumbnail loading
* When using the ``MultiControllerPlaylist`` the analytics data reports only for the current item. This behavior
could be changed by setting the flag ``MultiControllerPlaylist.justEnableAnalyticsForCurrentItem`` to false, which
is true by default.
* Fixed an issue when handling non-absolute redirect locations in the ``OkHttpPlugin``.
* Added workaround to avoid codec reset when the video renderer gets disabled. Can be enabled 
 by setting ``MediaCodecRenderer.DEVICE_NEEDS_SKIP_RESET_ON_DISABLED`` to ``true``.

# 4.2.69

---
**Changes**

* SingleControllerPlaylist fixes: stuck when removing the only loaded item, exception when removing 
 the first item if it was the current one, failing to transition to next item when the only loaded
 item plays to the end.

be fired to player listeners and the main video will be played.
* Youbora integration: don't report playhead for live streams
* Added Audio, Video and Subtitle tracks to ``Timeline.Period``
* Fixed a Downloader issue which could prevent selection of text and audio tracks when downloading a
 DASH manifest with Trickplay tracks.
* Fixed an issue which provoked the seek operations originated from a ``CatchupConfiguration`` to 
 always be performed to the live edge of the stream.
* Work around systems with unresponsive CDMs which could make the SDK fail to initialize.

# 4.2.64

---
**Changes**

* DRM license prefetch is supported in multi-period and IMA playbacks with ``PlayerController``.
 ``PlayerSDK.FORCE_DRM_LICENSE_PREFETCH`` option is added to control the behaviour (**Behaviour change**)
* Changed ``onTrackKeyStatusChanged`` to ``onVideoKeyStatusChanged`` providing tracks with changed DRM key statuses (**API Change**)
* Fixed a synchronization issue in ``SingleControllerPlaylist`` and improved cleanup.
* Fixed an issue which sometimes could lead to frozen playback when opening a ``PlayerController``
 with Trickplay enabled in ``SeekMode``.

* Downloading and playing offline for i-frame track besides the main video track is supported now (DASH only).

# 4.2.63

---
**Changes**

* Mux: now reporting real pixel resolution for Android TV devices which render a downscaled system UI.
 This might have an effect on the "upscale" Mux metric, as it is now better reflecting that the device
 is capable of displaying a higher quality.
* Mux: Updated to MuxCore 7.7.4

 `PlayerController` in order to achieve seamless transition. Note that this approach is incompatible
 with side-loaded Advertisements and only Widevine DRM is supported.
 * Deprecated `PlaylistController` in favour of `MultiControllerPlaylist`.

---
**Known Issues**

 * There's a known issue when using `SingleControllerPlaylist` in conjunction with Audio Tracks

# 4.2.4

---
**Important Change**

This release adds support for 64bit native code to all plugins including the OMA plugin. It also
updates the OMA plugin so permit targeting Android API >= 23 with. That means you no longer
need to split APKs when you are using OMA and you also no need to filter for an
64bit native libraries.

---
**Changes**

 * Added `VideoRendererListener` to get information about decoder initialization times and types
   as well as general decoder callbacks and dropped frame information
 * Improved `PlayerController` stability in multi-threaded context
 * Fixed an issue preventing `TrickplayConfiguration` to be applied on playback start.
 * Added `Intent` param to enable Trickplay mode; `SdkConsts.INTENT_TRICKPLAY_ENABLED`. Available also
 in the `PlayerConfig` as `enableTrickplayMode`.
 * Better integration between `TrickplayConfiguration` and playlists. Now there's a flag to automatically
  carry over the current `TrickplayConfiguration` onto the next `PlayerController`. See
 `Playlistcontroller.KEEP_TRICKPLAY_CONFIG`.
 * Added option to preserve the `Surface` of the `PlayerView` for multiple playbacks. This provides
   potentially better performance when new content is loaded as the surface does not need to be
   re-created and allows to keep the last frame on screen while the decoder is disposed. This
   feature can be enabled with `SdkConsts.INTENT_PRESERVE_PLAYER_VIEW_SURFACE` or via
   `PlayerConfig.preservePlayerViewSurface`.
   If you want to preserve the surface but still render a black screen when the decoder is
   disposed, you can use `SdkConsts.INTENT_PUSH_BLACK_SCREEN_ON_DISPOSE` or
   `PlayerConfig.pushBlackScreenOnDispose` to let the decoder push a black frame when disposed.
   Please note that pushing black frames is only supported on API >= 19.
 * Added 64bit native binaries. **Note** that this might have implications
   on your build and you might be able to remove any ABI filters (**Build Change**)
 * Add support for target API >= 23 for the OMA Plugin
 * Fixed an issue which provoked some built-in device screens to be detected as secondary screens
 and thus prevented playback when the `PlayerSDK.SECONDARY_DISPLAY` flag was set to
 `SdkConsts.SECONDARY_DISPLAY_NEVER`.
 * Fixed an isue with Broadpeak Plugin which prevented from performing content redirection
 for sessions other than the first one.
 * Fixed issue where Manifest load retries were not reported correctly
 * Fixed issue with stale CDN switches
 * Added new `CastlabsPlayerException.TYPE_MANIFEST_PARSING_FAILED` error type to identify
   manifest parsing errors and loaded but invalid manifests
 * Fix playback position not reported when seeking while paused.
 * Fix modifying fields of the `TrickplayConfiguration`, such as `preferTrickPlayTracks`, not taking
 effect if modified while in playback.
 * Moved `PlaylistController` to the `com.castlabs.android.player.playlist` package, please
 change your import statements (**API Change**).
 * Implemented `PlayerController` pooling, allowing to re-use them and allowing for more advanced
 features in the `PlaylistController`.
 * New `PlaylistController.Builder`, which should be used to create an instance of `PlaylistController`
 (**API Change**).
 * `PlaylistController` supports now background playback. This is intended to use for a "live channel"
 use case. Keep in mind this feature will consume high amounts of bandwidth and requires more than
 one decoder on the device. Have a look at the `backPlayers` and `forwardPlayers` settings in the
 `PlaylistController.Builder` to enable this feature.
 * Added flag to move the current `TrickplayConfiguration` from one item to the next one:
 `PlaylistController.KEEP_TRICKPLAY_CONFIG`.
 * Playback will jump to the previous item (in playlist order) when playback position reaches 0
 and playing at a negative speed (**Behaviour Change**). Note that if you want to force a specific
 playback position when this happens, you'll still need to add a `PlaylistListener` listener and
  implement your logic in the `onItemChange` method.

# 4.2.3
 * Added Dash CDN switching mechanism (**API Change**) (**Behaviour Change**)
 * Added the ability to controll the DASH manifest update duration in the `LiveConfiguration`
 * Allow to overwrite manifest update period for DASH live streams

# 4.2.2
 * Fixed the use-case when the `FormatChangeListener` may not be called
 * Added param in `PlaylistController.open` to specify at which playlist item to start playback.

 * Fixed an issue when directly destroying a PlayerController attached to a PlayerView.
 * Added `PlaylistListener.onPlaylistEndReached` which will be notified on Playlist completion. (**API Change**)
 * Added `PlaylistController.AbstractPlaylistListener` as a convenience default implementation for the
 `PlaylistController.PlaylistListener` interface.
 * Apply subtitle margins also for image-based subtitles.
 * All `PlayerViewPlugin`s depend now on the `PlayerView`, and all the View-providing plugins can now work
 without the corresponding `PlayerViewPlugin`. This way you can use any plugin such as `SubtitlesPlugin` or
 `ThumbsPlugin` without a `PlayerView`.
 * Deprecated `SubtitleViewWrapper`. Create a `SubtitlesView` either programmatically or by defining it
 in a layout, and set it to the `PlayerController` through its `setComponentView()` method.
 * Fixed issue with live edge delay on some streams
 * Added "Advanced Setup" chapter to our manual. Here we explain how to tweak live and low latency-
 related settings.
 * Added `PlaylistController.setItemChangeFlags()` method. This allows to configure the behaviour
 when changing playlist items. You can dictate whether to keep selected tracks and quality or not, and
 to carry over the last bandwidth estimate to the new `PlayerController`.
 * Added option to read screen dimensions using the legacy approach. This is found to workaround some
 device resolution detection issues in some STBs. To enable this for a device, use the static method
 `PlayerSDK.addLegacyDeviceScreenResolution("Manufacturer", "Model")` in your SDK setup code.

# 4.2.1
 * Added `PlayerConfig` object as an option to start playback, which deprecates `PlaybackState` (**API Change**).
 * Added Kotlin extensions for Player configuration. Have a look at the new ``Kotlin`` section in the SDK manual.

 * Added `onFullyBuffered` method to `PlayerListener` interface. (**API Change**)
 * Added playlist support through the `PlaylistController`.
 * Fixed Surface management issues when re-using a `PlayerView` across different `PlayerControllers`.
 * Added `INTENT_CLIPPING_START` and `INTENT_CLIPPING_END` in order to clip the start and/or end times.
 * Added `Track.LABEL_LOCALE` to customize in which Locale the Subtitles and Audio track Locale labels are displayed.
   Defaults to current system Locale.
 * Fixed an issue which made the same SubtitleView to be re-used across multiple PlayerControllers.
 * `LiveConfiguration.liveEdgeLatencyMs` now also affects HLS streams. If informed, the HLS-specific
   `LiveConfiguration.hlsLiveTailSegmentIndex` param will be ignored. (**Behaviour Change**)
 * Avoid unnecessary codec reconfiguration on video quality change

# 4.2.0
 * Updated Exo to r2.8.0
 * Added `DrmDeviceTimeCheckerPlugin`. This plugin will perform periodic checks related to DRM licensing.
   It workarounds a Widevine limitation by performing time-related checks while playing protected content.

 * Added `PlayerSDK.SSL_KEY_STORE` to add custom SSL key store as secondary to the system default one (**API Change**)
 * Updated IMA to 3.8.5, improved performance and refactored IMA plugin and ads interfaces (**API Change**) (**Behaviour Change**)
 * Added `setMaxVideoSizeFilter` method in `PlayerController` which allows to change the maximum
   resolution for the ABR algorithm while in playback.
 * Added `DrmLicenseLoader.remove` in order to remove locally stored DRM licenses. Currently only available
   for Widevine.
 * Fixed offline license fetching on un provisioned devices.
 * Improved support for Ultra Low Latency streams. Added `getLiveEdgeUs`, `getPositionInPeriod` and
   `setPositionInPeriod` methods in `PlayerController`. Catchup behaviour improved.
 * Added debugging charts. These are found in the "debug_plugin". `PlayerStateChart` shows the player
   state history and `PlayerMetricChart` can show various player metrics. You can enable a default overlay
   with the `DebugPlugin`'s `debugOverlay` method. You can also create your own `Metric`s to be drawn
   by the `PlayerMetricChart`.
 * Moved `onVideoFormatChange` and `onAudioFormatChange` methods out of `StreamingEventListener` into new
   `FormatChangeListener` interface. (**API Change**)
 * Added castLabs `Log` class. It allows to set the log level in order to hide certain log mesages,
   and to register `Loggers` that will receive all castlabs logs messages - regardless of the log level.
 * Added `getBackBufferTime()` method to `PlayerController`. This returns the oldest position
   that still has buffered content. A seek operation to a position >= getBackBufferTime should
   be quick since the media is still present in the buffer, and won't trigger content re-download.
   This is configurable through the `BufferConfiguration`.
 * Content load retry errors won't be fired as a Warning exception anymore. (**Behaviour Change**)
 * Content load retry attempts can be retrieved with via the `StreamingEventListener`. (**API Change**)
 * Fixed PNG subtitles not showing when defining `backgroundImage` and `duration` in different xml tags.

   a `PlayerView`. Added optional `SubtitleViewWrapper` custom view to take care of listening for
   the `SubtitlesView` to be ready.

# 4.1.11
 * Added `drainWhileCharging` property to `BufferConfiguration`. If this flag is enabled will prevent
   the buffer from draining if the device is charging. Enabled by default (**Behaviour Change**).
 * Added CEA608 support in CL subtitles plugin (**API Change**)
 * Updated NDK to r16b

# 4.1.10
 * Added support for live CMAF low latency.
 * Added `LowLatencyProfile` to easily set params for a low latency scenario.

 * Added option to force a custom UTCTimingElement for DASH streams.
 * Updated Youbora integration to 6.1.5 (**API Change**)
 * Added `PlayerSDK.DUMMY_SURFACE_MODE` to force disable dummy surface on some devices.
   This can be together with the IMA plugin to prevent issues where the decoder can not be initialized
   properly.

# 4.1.9
 * Downloader: persist the internal metadata every `DownloaderPlugin.DEFAULT_METADATA_PERSIST_INTERVAL_MS` (**API Change**)

practically means that you can remove the "-Development" and
"-Production" extensions from the version name.

the `DrmTodayConfiguration` with offline support the same way
you would for Widevine DRM.
