Player

  • Improved system integration and background playback through custom MediaController and MediaSession classes. Check the documentation for more information.
  • Added a new Player.isAtLiveEdge(Long, Window) method to know if the media is at live edge.
  • New way to load a media from a custom source by providing a custom AssetLoader implementation:
val player = PillarboxExoPlayer(
    context = context,
    mediaSourceFactory = PillarboxMediaSourceFactory(context).apply {
        addAssetLoader(SRGAssetLoader(context)) // Provided by pillarbox-core-business to handled URNs
        addAssetLoader(MyCustomAssetLoader())
    },
)
  • Added new methods to easily manage tracks:
val player: Player = ...
val currentTracks: Tracks = player.currentTracks

val tracks: List<Track> = currentTracks.tracks // Get all the supported tracks
val audioTracks: List<AudioTrack> = currentTracks.audioTracks // Get all the supported audio tracks
val textTracks: List<TextTrack> = currentTracks.textTracks // Get all the supported text tracks
val videoTracks: List<VideoTrack> = currentTracks.videoTracks // Get all the supported video tracks

player.selectTrack(Track) // Select a single track
player.enable<Audio|Text|Video>Track() // Enable a specific type of track
player.disable<Audio|Text|Video>Track() // Disable a specific type of track
player.setAuto<Audio|Text|Video>Track() // Restore the default track of a specific type
  • Added support for blocked segments.
  • Added support for chapters. You can use the following methods to access the corresponding information:
Player.getCurrentChapters(): List<Chapter> // Get all the chapters for the current media
Player.getChapterAtPosition(Long): Chapter? // Get the chapter at the provided position
Player.getCurrentChapterAsFlow(): Flow<Chapter?> // Observe the chapter currently playing as Flow
Player.getCurrentChapterAsState(): State<Chapter?> // Observe the chapter currently playing as State
  • Added support for time intervals (intro/credits). You can use the following methods to access the corresponding information:
Player.getCurrentCredits(): List<Credit> // Get all the credits for the current media (opening credits, closing credits)
Player.getCreditAtPosition(Long): Credit? // Get the credit at the provided position
Player.getCurrentCreditAsFlow(): Flow<Credit?> // Observe the credit currently active as Flow
Player.getCurrentCreditAsState(): State<Credit?> // Observe the credit currently active as State

Core business

  • Extract information about blocked segments, chapters and credits.

Demo

  • The multi-player showcase has been improved to only have one player playing audio at a given time.
  • Added a showcase to toggle repeat mode and to pause the media item when it ends.
  • Added a showcase to display chapters.
  • Added a showcase with a blocked segment.

Breaking changes

  • The mediaItemSource and dataSourceFactory arguments of the DefaultPillarbox constructor have been removed. Please provide a MediaCompositionService directly. The MediaCompositionMediaItemSource class and its related classes have been removed.
  • PillarboxExoPlayer is now a concrete class, while PillarboxPlayer has become an interface. Simply replace your usages of PillarboxPlayer by PillarboxExoPlayer, and PillarboxExoPlayer by PillarboxPlayer:
// Pillarbox 1.0.0
val player: PillarboxExoPlayer = PillarboxPlayer(...)

// Pillarbox 2.0.0
val player: PillarboxPlayer = PillarboxExoPlayer(...)

Note

Following a change in AndroidX Media3 1.3.0, you should setup Java 8 APIs desugaring, by following this guide.
This is new requirement should be reverted in an upcoming version of AndroidX Media3 (see androidx/media#1312 (comment) for more information).
This should be done even if your min SDK version is 24+.

Important

Letterbox will be sunset in August 2025:

  • New SRG SSR products must use Pillarbox only.
  • Existing SRG SSR products using Letterbox must transition to Pillarbox before this date.

This is the first official release of Pillarbox for Android platforms. Pillarbox is the modern SRG SSR media playback ecosystem, a generational leap over its predecessor Letterbox.

Tip

Should you have questions, ideas, or should you need assistance, please use our issue tracker or a dedicate discussion.

This version of Pillarbox is based on AndroidX Media3 1.3.0

New features

  • Smooth seeking is a better way to seek. To take advantage of this new amazing feature have a look at SmoothProgressTrackerState.
  • Core business error messages are translated in all Swiss 🇨🇭 languages (fr, de, it, rm and en).
  • Support for 360° video, have a look at the Compose function SphericalSurface.
  • Improve Pillarbox Demo on both mobile and Android TV.
