class Format : Bundleable


Represents a media format.

When building formats, populate all fields whose values are known and relevant to the type of format being constructed. For information about different types of format, see ExoPlayer's Supported formats page.

Fields commonly relevant to all formats

Fields relevant to container formats

  • containerMimeType
  • If the container only contains a single media track, fields relevant to sample formats can are also be relevant and can be set to describe the sample format of that track.
  • If the container only contains one track of a given type (possibly alongside tracks of other types), then fields relevant to that track type can be set to describe the properties of the track. See the sections below for video, audio and text formats.
