v2.18.3

This release corresponds to the
AndroidX Media3 1.0.0-rc01 release.

• Core library:
  • Tweak the renderer's decoder ordering logic to uphold the
    MediaCodecSelector's preferences, even if a decoder reports it may not
    be able to play the media performantly. For example with default
    selector, hardware decoder with only functional support will be
    preferred over software decoder that fully supports the format
    (#​10604).

    playback thread for a new ExoPlayer instance.
  • Allow download manager helpers to be cleared
    (#​10776).
  • Add parameter to BasePlayer.seekTo to also indicate the command used
    for seeking.

    (#​220).
  • Add ConcatenatingMediaSource2 that allows combining multiple media
    items into a single window
    (#​247).
• Extractors:
  • Throw a ParserException instead of a NullPointerException if the
    sample table (stbl) is missing a required sample description (stsd) when
    parsing trak atoms.
  • Correctly skip samples when seeking directly to a sync frame in fMP4
    (#​10941).
• Audio:
  • Use the compressed audio format bitrate to calculate the min buffer size
    for AudioTrack in direct playbacks (passthrough).
• Text:
  • Fix TextRenderer passing an invalid (negative) index to
    Subtitle.getEventTime if a subtitle file contains no cues.
  • SubRip: Add support for UTF-16 files if they start with a byte order
    mark.
• Metadata:
  • Parse multiple null-separated values from ID3 frames, as permitted by
    ID3 v2.4.
  • Add MediaMetadata.mediaType to denote the type of content or the type
    of folder described by the metadata.
  • Add MediaMetadata.isBrowsable as a replacement for
    MediaMetadata.folderType. The folder type will be deprecated in the
    next release.
• DASH:
  • Add full parsing for image adaptation sets, including tile counts
    (#​3752).
• UI:
  • Fix the deprecated
    StyledPlayerView.setControllerVisibilityListener(StyledPlayerControlView.VisibilityListener)
    to ensure visibility changes are passed to the registered listener
    (#​229).

    when using a right-to-left (RTL) layout
    (#​227).

  • Remove player listener of the ImaServerSideAdInsertionMediaSource on
    the application thread to avoid threading issues.

    focusing the skip button on TV devices and set it to true by default.
  • Add a method focusSkipButton() to the
    ImaServerSideAdInsertionMediaSource.AdsLoader to programmatically
    request to focus the skip button.
  • Fix a bug which prevented playback from starting for a DAI stream
    without any ads.

    (#​10884).
