AdaptiveTrackSelection(

Parameters
group: TrackGroup!

The TrackGroup.

The indices of the selected tracks within the TrackGroup. Must not be empty. May be in any order.

bandwidthMeter: BandwidthMeter!

Provides an estimate of the currently available bandwidth.

)
Parameters
group: TrackGroup!

The TrackGroup.

tracks: IntArray!

The indices of the selected tracks within the TrackGroup. Must not be empty. May be in any order.

@TrackSelection.Type type: Int

The type that will be returned from getType.

bandwidthMeter: BandwidthMeter!

Provides an estimate of the currently available bandwidth.

minDurationForQualityIncreaseMs: Long

The minimum duration of buffered data required for the selected track to switch to one of higher quality.

maxDurationForQualityDecreaseMs: Long

The maximum duration of buffered data required for the selected track to switch to one of lower quality.

minDurationToRetainAfterDiscardMs: Long

When switching to a video track of higher quality, the selection may indicate that media already buffered at the lower quality can be discarded to speed up the switch. This is the minimum duration of media that must be retained at the lower quality. It must be at least minDurationForQualityIncreaseMs.

maxWidthToDiscard: Int

The maximum video width that the selector may discard from the buffer to speed up switching to a higher quality.

maxHeightToDiscard: Int

The maximum video height that the selector may discard from the buffer to speed up switching to a higher quality.

bandwidthFraction: Float

The fraction of the available bandwidth that the selection should consider available for use. Setting to a value less than 1 is recommended to account for inaccuracies in the bandwidth estimator.

bufferedFractionToLiveEdgeForQualityIncrease: Float

For live streaming, the fraction of the duration from current playback position to the live edge that has to be buffered before the selected track can be switched to one of higher quality. This parameter is only applied when the playback position is closer to the live edge than minDurationForQualityIncreaseMs, which would otherwise prevent switching to a higher quality from happening.

adaptationCheckpoints: (Mutable)List<AdaptiveTrackSelection.AdaptationCheckpoint!>!

The checkpoints that can be used to calculate available bandwidth for this selection.

clock: Clock!

The Clock.

Public functions

disable

@CallSuper
fun disable(): Unit

Disables this track selection. No further dynamic changes via updateSelectedTrack, evaluateQueueSize or shouldCancelChunkLoad will happen after this call.

This method may only be called when the track selection is already enabled.

enable

@CallSuper
fun enable(): Unit

Enables the track selection. Dynamic changes via updateSelectedTrack, evaluateQueueSize or shouldCancelChunkLoad will only happen after this call.

This method may not be called when the track selection is already enabled.

evaluateQueueSize

fun evaluateQueueSize(
    playbackPositionUs: Long,
    queue: (Mutable)List<MediaChunk!>!
): Int

Returns the number of chunks that should be retained in the queue.

May be called by sources that load media in discrete MediaChunks and support discarding of buffered chunks.

To avoid excessive re-buffering, implementations should normally return the size of the queue. An example of a case where a smaller value may be returned is if network conditions have improved dramatically, allowing chunks to be discarded and re-buffered in a track of significantly higher quality. Discarding chunks may allow faster switching to a higher quality track in this case.

Note that even if the source supports discarding of buffered chunks, the actual number of discarded chunks is not guaranteed. The source will call updateSelectedTrack with the updated queue of chunks before loading a new chunk to allow switching to another quality.

This method will only be called when the selection is enabled and none of the MediaChunks in the queue are currently loading.

Parameters
playbackPositionUs: Long

The current playback position in microseconds. If playback of the period to which this track selection belongs has not yet started, the value will be the starting position in the period minus the duration of any media in previous periods still to be played.

queue: (Mutable)List<MediaChunk!>!

The queue of buffered MediaChunks. Must not be modified.

Returns
Int

The number of chunks to retain in the queue.

getSelectionData

fun getSelectionData(): Any?

Returns optional data associated with the current track selection.

getSelectionReason

@C.SelectionReason
fun getSelectionReason(): Int

Returns the reason for the current track selection.

onPlaybackSpeed

fun onPlaybackSpeed(playbackSpeed: Float): Unit

Called to notify the selection of the current playback speed. The playback speed may affect adaptive track selection.

Parameters
playbackSpeed: Float

The factor by which playback is sped up.

updateSelectedTrack

fun updateSelectedTrack(
    playbackPositionUs: Long,
    bufferedDurationUs: Long,
    availableDurationUs: Long,
    queue: (Mutable)List<MediaChunk!>!,
    mediaChunkIterators: Array<MediaChunkIterator!>!
): Unit

Updates the selected track for sources that load media in discrete MediaChunks.

This method will only be called when the selection is enabled.

Parameters
playbackPositionUs: Long

The current playback position in microseconds. If playback of the period to which this track selection belongs has not yet started, the value will be the starting position in the period minus the duration of any media in previous periods still to be played.

bufferedDurationUs: Long

The duration of media currently buffered from the current playback position, in microseconds. Note that the next load position can be calculated as (playbackPositionUs + bufferedDurationUs).

availableDurationUs: Long

The duration of media available for buffering from the current playback position, in microseconds, or TIME_UNSET if media can be buffered to the end of the current period. Note that if not set to TIME_UNSET, the position up to which media is available for buffering can be calculated as (playbackPositionUs + availableDurationUs).

queue: (Mutable)List<MediaChunk!>!

The queue of already buffered MediaChunks. Must not be modified.

mediaChunkIterators: Array<MediaChunkIterator!>!

An array of MediaChunkIterators providing information about the sequence of upcoming media chunks for each track in the selection. All iterators start from the media chunk which will be loaded next if the respective track is selected. Note that this information may not be available for all tracks, and so some iterators may be empty.

Protected functions

canSelectFormat

protected fun canSelectFormat(format: Format!, trackBitrate: Int, effectiveBitrate: Long): Boolean

Called when updating the selected track to determine whether a candidate track can be selected.

The estimated bitrate of the track. May differ from bitrate if a more accurate estimate of the current track bitrate is available.

effectiveBitrate: Long

The bitrate available to this selection.

Returns
Boolean

Whether this Format can be selected.

shouldEvaluateQueueSize

protected fun shouldEvaluateQueueSize(nowMs: Long, queue: (Mutable)List<MediaChunk!>!): Boolean

Called from evaluateQueueSize to determine whether an evaluation should be performed.

Parameters
nowMs: Long

The current value of elapsedRealtime.

queue: (Mutable)List<MediaChunk!>!

The queue of buffered MediaChunks. Must not be modified.

Returns
Boolean

Whether an evaluation should be performed.
