How can I set and show subtitles from url with ExoPlayer2 in Android? Currently, I write in Kotlin, I'm using following code for setting up ExoPlayer with subtitles:
exoPlayer = SimpleExoPlayer.Builder(this).build()
val subtitle = MediaItem.Subtitle(Uri.parse(SUBTITLES_URL), MimeTypes.TEXT_VTT, "en")
val subtitles = arrayListOf(subtitle)
val mediaItem = MediaItem.Builder()
.setUri(movieSrc)
.setSubtitles(subtitles)
.build()
exoPlayer.setMediaItem(mediaItem)
exoPlayer.addListener(this)
exoPlayer.prepare()
And following code to display them in ExoPlayer SubtitleView:
exoPlayer.addTextOutput {
binding.exoSubtitles.onCues(it)
}
I don't get any exception, it just does not show anything idk... Nothing really works... Really need some help, Thank You in Advance!
Here is the code I used (I got these from the Internet somewhere I forgot)
// create the simple cache
val leastRecentlyUsedCacheEvictor = LeastRecentlyUsedCacheEvictor(MAX_CACHE_SIZE)
val databaseProvider: DatabaseProvider = ExoDatabaseProvider(this)
val simpleCache = SimpleCache(cacheDir, leastRecentlyUsedCacheEvictor, databaseProvider)
// create http datasource
val defaultBandwidthMeter = DefaultBandwidthMeter.Builder(context).build()
val dataSourceFactory: DataSource.Factory = DefaultDataSourceFactory(
context,
DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory(
System.getProperty("http.agent"),
defaultBandwidthMeter
)
)
// create the player
val simplePlayer = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(context)
simplePlayer.addListener(playerCallback)
cacheDataSourceFactory = CacheDataSourceFactory(
simpleCache,
DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory(
Util.getUserAgent(
context,
"exo"
)
)
)
// create subtitle text format
val textFormat = Format.createTextSampleFormat(
null,
MimeTypes.TEXT_VTT,
C.SELECTION_FLAG_DEFAULT,
null
)
// create the subtitle source
val subtitleSource = SingleSampleMediaSource.Factory(dataSourceFactory)
.createMediaSource(Uri.parse(it), textFormat, C.TIME_UNSET)
// create the media source based from video/audio url
val mediaSource = ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory(cacheDataSourceFactory).createMediaSource(uri)
// merge subtitle source and media source
val mediaSourceWithsubtitle = MergingMediaSource(mediaSource, subtitleSource)
// setup the player
simplePlayer.prepare(mediaSourceWithsubtitle, true, true)
