This changes significantly how the MediaSessionCompat and MediaSessionConnector objects are used:
- now they are tied to the service and not to the player, and so they might be reused with multiple players (which should be allowed)
- now they can exist even if there is no player (which is fundamental to be able to answer media browser queries)
This will use the exact subtitle sizes the user requested, both for
the main and the popup player. They will always be the same fraction
of the video, even if the popup player is resized.
* IcePick fails on Java 21 (default in Android Studio 2024.2)
* Bridge is the most modern alternative that is currently available. It is backed by ``Android-State`` and can be configured with various frameworks
* In the long term this should be replaced with something better
This change is in line with a recent change in how the play/pause button behaves in the player ui: if the buffering indicator is shown, it's still possible to toggle play/pause, to allow e.g. pausing videos before they even start.
This change was needed because on Android 13+ notification actions can't be null, and thus the buffering hourglass action wasn't shown.
This behavior was present before 0.24.0 and the player UI separation and
avoided crashes for which their exception contained
"Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground()".
Some player nullability checks have been also added, and the player service is
now stopped when it has been started from a media button and there is nothing
to play.
As the player can be null in some cases, we have to make sure that the player
is not null, by using Optionals on the player itself instead of its methods
returning Optionals.
If the player is null, the play queue audio track menu will now be hidden.
The previous "main" tab is now just a normal tab returned in getTabs().
Various part of the code that used to handle channels as ListInfo now either take the first (playable, i.e. with streams) tab (e.g. the ChannelTabPlayQueue), or take all of them combined (e.g. the feed).
- don't check for isAudioOnly == !videoEnabled, as this prevents enabling again
video and text tracks renderers in some cases;
- when reloading play queue manager if that's needed, disable or enable video
and text tracks renderers, as they may need to be enabled again in some cases
like starting a video in main player, opening play queue, switching to
background player on it and switching back to main player;
- disable or enable video renderers also for streams with AUDIO_STREAM
StreamType, as doing so doesn't raise any issue and simplifies code;
- reword and move some comments to make them easier to understand.
NewPipe Extractor now extracts all YouTube Itags and therefore only those which can be handled by the player need to be retrieved from the list of all available streams.
