fun setUsePlatformDiagnostics(usePlatformDiagnostics: Boolean): ExoPlayer.Builder!

Sets whether the player reports diagnostics data to the Android platform.

If enabled, the player will use the android.media.metrics.MediaMetricsManager to create a android.media.metrics.PlaybackSession and forward playback events and performance data to this session. This helps to provide system performance and debugging information for media playback on the device. This data may also be collected by Google if sharing usage and diagnostics data is enabled by the user of the device.

Parameters

This builder.

Throws
java.lang.IllegalStateException

): ExoPlayer.Builder!

Sets a C.VideoChangeFrameRateStrategy that will be used by the player when provided with a video output Surface.

The strategy only applies if a MediaCodec-based video Renderer is enabled. Applications wishing to use CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_ALWAYS should set the mode to VIDEO_CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_STRATEGY_OFF to disable calls to setFrameRate from ExoPlayer, and should then call setFrameRate directly from application code.

Parameters

Returns
ExoPlayer.Builder!

This builder.

Throws
java.lang.IllegalStateException

Parameters
@C.VideoScalingMode videoScalingMode: Int

A C.VideoScalingMode.

Returns
ExoPlayer.Builder!

This builder.

Throws
java.lang.IllegalStateException

If build has already been called.

setWakeMode

@CanIgnoreReturnValue
fun setWakeMode(@C.WakeMode wakeMode: Int): ExoPlayer.Builder!

Sets the C.WakeMode that will be used by the player.

Enabling this feature requires the WAKE_LOCK permission. It should be used together with a foreground android.app.Service for use cases where playback occurs and the screen is off (e.g. background audio playback). It is not useful when the screen will be kept on during playback (e.g. foreground video playback).

When enabled, the locks (android.os.PowerManager.WakeLock / ) will be held whenever the player is in the STATE_READY or STATE_BUFFERING states with playWhenReady = true. The locks held depend on the specified C.WakeMode.

Parameters
@C.WakeMode wakeMode: Int

A C.WakeMode.

Returns
ExoPlayer.Builder!

This builder.

Throws
java.lang.IllegalStateException

If build has already been called.
