- Show placeholders until the image is loaded because timeout can be very long and missing profile pictures and video thumbnails make app inconvenient to use
- Adapt profile picture and video thumbnail placeholders to light theme
- Replace profile picture and video thumbnail placeholders with vector graphics
This ensures to not remove streams from the StreamInfo lists themselves, and so to not have to create list copies.
The toast shown in RouterActivity, when there is no audio stream available for external players, is now shown, in the same case, when pressing the background button in VideoDetailFragment.
The VideoDetailFragment will now get video streams dynamically instead of storing them as a field, so the good codec can be chosen by ListHelper.
To select a stream to play, user has now to select the quality in the list of available qualities and then press the new OK button in the alert dialog.
Detailed changes:
- External players:
- Add a message instruction about stream selection;
- Add a message when there is no stream available for external players;
- Return now HLS, DASH and SmoothStreaming URL contents, in addition to progressive HTTP ones.
- Player:
- Support DASH, HLS and SmoothStreaming streams for videos, whether they are content URLs or the manifests themselves, in addition to progressive HTTP ones;
- Use a custom HttpDataSource to play YouTube contents, based of ExoPlayer's default one, which allows better spoofing of official clients (custom user-agent and headers (depending of the client used), use of range and rn (set dynamically by the DataSource) parameters);
- Fetch YouTube progressive contents as DASH streams, like official clients, support fully playback of livestreams which have ended recently and OTF streams;
- Use ExoPlayer's default retries count for contents on non-fatal errors (instead of Integer.MAX_VALUE for non-live contents and 5 for live contents).
- Download dialog:
- Add message about support of progressive HTTP streams only for downloading;
- Remove several duplicated code and update relevant usages;
- Support downloading of contents with an unknown media format.
- ListHelper:
- Catch NumberFormatException when trying to compare two video streams between them.
- Tests:
- Update ListHelperTest and StreamItemAdapterTest to fix breaking changes in the extractor.
- Other places:
- Fixes deprecation of changes made in the extractor;
- Improve some code related to the files changed.
- Issues fixed and/or improved with the changes:
- Seeking of PeerTube HLS streams (the duration shown was the one from the stream duration and not the one parsed, incomplete because HLS streams are fragmented MP4s with multiple sidx boxes, for which seeking is not supported by ExoPlayer) (the app now uses the HLS manifest returned for each quality, in the master playlist (not fetched and computed by the extractor));
- Crash when loading PeerTube streams with a separated audio;
- Lack of some streams on some YouTube videos (OTF streams);
- Loading times of YouTube streams, after a quality change or a playback start;
- View count of YouTube ended livestreams interpreted as watching count (this type of streams is not interpreted anymore as livestreams);
- Watchable time of YouTube ended livestreams;
- Playback of SoundCloud HLS-only tracks (which cannot be downloaded anymore because the workaround which was used is being removed by SoundCloud, so it has been removed from the extractor).
added: MediaItemTag for ManagedMediaSources.
added: silent track for FailedMediaSource.
added: keyframe fast forward at initial playback buffer.
added: error notification on silently skipped streams.
This commit refactors the way `InfoItemDialog`s are generated. This is necessary because the old way used the `StreamDialogEntry` enum for most of the dialogs' content generation process. This required static variables and methods to store the entries which are used for the dialog to be build (See e.g.`enabledEntries` and methods like `generateCommands()`). In other words, `StreamDialogEntry` wasn't an enumeration anymore.
To address this issue, a `Builder` is introduced for the `InfoItemDialog`'s genration. The builder also comes with some default entries and and a specific order. Both can be used, but are not enforced.
A second problem that introduced a structure which was atypical for an enumeration was the usage of non-final attributes within `StreamDialogEntry` instances. These were needed, because the default actions needed to overriden in some cases.
To address this problem, the `StreamDialogEntry` enumeration was renamed to `StreamDialogDefaultEntry` and a new `StreamDialogEntry` class is used instead.
Prefering video-only streams to video streams for our player will allow us to make seamless transitions on 360 and 720p qualities on YouTube.
External players and the downloader are not affected by this change.
