ConcatenatingMediaSource

[taimoorMalik]

Hello, how can i set title of the dynamic ConcatenatingMediaSource ? i can't fine setDisplayName with MediaSource its only available with SimpleMediaSource. Regards

We do not support setting a title to a media source directly. But each MediaSource has a tag you can use to store additional information. For example new ExtractorMediaSource.Builder(...).setTag(title).build(). And then you can use player.getCurrentTag() to retrieve the title of the currently playing media source.

Aside: There is no such thing as a SimpleMediaSource. Not sure where you got this from?

Hello thanks for reply i'm using exoplayer api 2.8.1 and it has SimpleMediaSource and its working fine if i play single video i can set title as well but i need to implement next and previous video functionality so trying to implement ConcatenatingMediaSource its working fine but i can't find a way to display title for each video on toolbar and if get the current tag how will i display it as Video title?

Following is my method which recieves urls and make ConcatenatingMediaSource

` public void addMedia(String[] url)

{
    MediaSource mediaSourcee;

    DefaultBandwidthMeter bandwidthMeterA      = new DefaultBandwidthMeter();
    DefaultDataSourceFactory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(VideoViewActivity.this, Util.getUserAgent(VideoViewActivity.this, "demo"), bandwidthMeterA);

    ExtractorsFactory extractorsFactory = new DefaultExtractorsFactory();

    for(int i = 0; i < url.length; i++)

    {
        mediaSourcee = new ExtractorMediaSource(Uri.parse(url[i]), dataSourceFactory, extractorsFactory, null, null);
        ConcatenatingMediaSource.addMediaSource(mediaSourcee);

    }

    PlayVideo(ConcatenatingMediaSource);

}

void PlayVideo(ConcatenatingMediaSource path)

{
        player.prepare(path);
        player.setPlayWhenReady(true);
}

`

There is no build-in way to display the title with our UI. I'd suggest asking this question on StackOverflow or similar sites as displaying text is a generic Android question.

[taimoorMalik]

Well my question wasn't about how to display a text my question was how can i pass addition video info such as video name to mediaSource rather than only String array of urls.

As I explained above, please you setTag and getCurrentTag for that.

Ok i will try, thanks for your time :)

Cannot resolve symbol 'Builder' :

new ExtractorMediaSource.Builder

@taimoorMalik if you find the answer first, please share it here;)

@tim4dev It's actually Factory not Builder. My bad :(

I'm new to using ExoPlayer. I use the example code for help.

I want to make a playlist of local files (and at the same time show what file name is currently playing). Here's how I do it:

dataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(...);
mediaSourceFactory = new ExtractorMediaSource.Factory(dataSourceFactory);

mediaSourceList = new ArrayList<>();

for (<each local File>) {
    MediaSource source = mediaSourceFactory.createMediaSource(
                        Uri.fromFile(<local File>));
    // I need here something like this:
    // source.setTag(file.getName());

    mediaSourceList.add(source);
}

concatMediaSource.addMediaSources(mediaSourceList);

However, there is no such method MediaSource.setTag

Hello i were playing and displaying Video text with this code for single video private ExoVideoView videoView; SimpleMediaSource mediaSource; String path = "file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/Sample.mkv"; void PlayVideo(String path) { File file = new File(path); String strFileName = file.getName(); mediaSource = new SimpleMediaSource(path); mediaSource.setDisplayName(strFileName); videoView.play(mediaSource, false); }

But my requirement is to play all videos in the directory so need concatenation media source but the problem is ConcatenatingMediaSource.addMediaSource() takes MediaSource as parameter not SimpleMediaSource and MediaSource doesn't have mediaSource.setDisplayName(") method for setting name of video.

[tonihei]

That looks like custom code around ExoPlayer (and we can't help you debug that). Please look for the place where ExtractorMediaSource.Factory is used and set the tag there.

Closing because I think the question is answered.
