public final class HlsDownloader extends SegmentDownloader


A downloader for HLS streams.

Example usage:

SimpleCache cache = new SimpleCache(downloadFolder, new NoOpCacheEvictor(), databaseProvider);
CacheDataSource.Factory cacheDataSourceFactory =
    new CacheDataSource.Factory()
        .setCache(cache)
        .setUpstreamDataSourceFactory(new DefaultHttpDataSource.Factory());
// Create a downloader for the first variant in a multivariant playlist.
HlsDownloader hlsDownloader =
    new HlsDownloader(
        new MediaItem.Builder()
            .setUri(playlistUri)
            .setStreamKeys(
                Collections.singletonList(
                    new StreamKey(HlsMultivariantPlaylist.GROUP_INDEX_VARIANT, 0)))
            .build(),
        Collections.singletonList();
// Perform the download.
hlsDownloader.download(progressListener);
// Use the downloaded data for playback.
HlsMediaSource mediaSource =
    new HlsMediaSource.Factory(cacheDataSourceFactory).createMediaSource(mediaItem);

public HlsDownloader(
    MediaItem mediaItem,
    CacheDataSource.Factory cacheDataSourceFactory
)

Creates a new instance.

Parameters
MediaItem mediaItem

The MediaItem to be downloaded.

CacheDataSource.Factory cacheDataSourceFactory

A CacheDataSource.Factory for the cache into which the download will be written.

    MediaItem mediaItem,
    CacheDataSource.Factory cacheDataSourceFactory,
    Executor executor
)

Creates a new instance.

Parameters
MediaItem mediaItem

The MediaItem to be downloaded.

CacheDataSource.Factory cacheDataSourceFactory

A CacheDataSource.Factory for the cache into which the download will be written.

ParsingLoadable.Parser<HlsPlaylist> manifestParser

A parser for HLS playlists.

CacheDataSource.Factory cacheDataSourceFactory

Executor executor

An Executor used to make requests for the media being downloaded. Providing an Executor that uses multiple threads will speed up the download by allowing parts of it to be executed in parallel.

long maxMergedSegmentStartTimeDiffMs

The maximum difference of the start time of two segments, up to which the segments (of the same URI) should be merged into a single download segment, in milliseconds.

Protected methods

getSegments

protected List<SegmentDownloader.SegmentgetSegments(
    DataSource dataSource,
    HlsPlaylist manifest,
    boolean removing
)

Returns a list of all downloadable Segments for a given manifest. Any required data should be loaded using getManifest or execute.

Parameters
DataSource dataSource

The DataSource through which to load any required data.

HlsPlaylist manifest

The manifest containing the segments.

boolean removing

Whether the segments are being obtained as part of a removal. If true then a partial segment list is returned in the case that a load error prevents all segments from being listed. If false then an IOException will be thrown in this case.

Returns
List<SegmentDownloader.Segment>

The list of downloadable Segments.

Throws
java.io.IOException

Thrown if allowPartialIndex is false and an execution error occurs, or if the media is not in a form that allows for its segments to be listed.

java.lang.InterruptedException
