Hello @PassionDEV,

I've tested your library to play MPEG-TS stream but seems to fail to play audio (video works ok).

As you can see, the same problem happens with ExoPlayer wrapper by Erel: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...udio-in-http-mpeg-ts-stream-exoplayer.141533/

Seems that a FFMPEG extension is needed for ExoPlayer to play this kind of stream/files for some audio codecs support: https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/tree/release-v2/extensions/ffmpeg

B4X:

The FFmpeg module provides FfmpegAudioRenderer, which uses FFmpeg for decoding and can render audio encoded in a variety of formats.

Sample format	Decoder name(s)
Vorbis	vorbis
Opus	opus
FLAC	flac
ALAC	alac
PCM μ-law	pcm_mulaw
PCM A-law	pcm_alaw
MP1, MP2, MP3	mp3
AMR-NB	amrnb
AMR-WB	amrwb
AAC	aac
AC-3	ac3
E-AC-3	eac3
DTS, DTS-HD	dca
TrueHD	mlp truehd

Can you take a look?

If you need, I can send you some mpeg-ts samples.

Hi, @PassionDEV

You can add a ResizeMode, which allows you to center the width and height of the screen, the fit option expands until it leaves the screen and does not allow you to use the entire resolution of the device.

You can also add all the options that exoplayer allows you in ResizeMode.

Thank you

hello, @Almora

the error is that because you must add the label

Private lblFullscreen As B4XView

in the design because it is not added

Addo · Jan 15, 2023

Library Updated

ResizeMode > Supported values added FILL, ZOOM
VideoScalingMode > possible values 1 = Scale To Fit , 2 = FIT with CROPPING

Example updated and fixed.

FFMPEG Extension is Supported

@PassionDEV Well done !!?

Addo · Jan 17, 2023

That was quite hard to get it done but finally i done it,
Since FFMPEG that been published by google on Exoplayer Repo supports only Audio Decoding it wasnt good to support FFMPEG to decode audio only which is frustrating.
I have compiled FFmpeg and wrapped it my self to be able to add FFMPEg Video Renderer.

library updated in the first Post

Version 1.20

FFMPEG Now Support Video Rendering which will give the exoplayer the ability to play many mediacodecs video & audio.

have a nice day everyone.

Note you need to re-download the additional aar and place them in your Additional folder.
