DASH Streaming ExoPlayer android studio

718 Views Asked by At

I'm streaming video from URL stored in firebase storage and I'm using the following code for streaming the video using ExoPlayer

BandwidthMeter bandwidthMeter = new DefaultBandwidthMeter();
TrackSelector trackSelector = new DefaultTrackSelector(new AdaptiveTrackSelection.Factory(bandwidthMeter));
LoadControl loadControl = new CustomLoadControl();
exoPlayer = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(SafetyTVHomeActivity.this, trackSelector, loadControl);
Uri videoUri = Uri.parse(videourl);
DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory("exoplayer_video");
ExtractorsFactory extractorsFactory = new DefaultExtractorsFactory();
MediaSource mediaSource = new ExtractorMediaSource(videoUri, dataSourceFactory, extractorsFactory, null, null);
exoPlayerView.setPlayer(exoPlayer);
exoPlayer.addListener(new PlayerEventListener());
exoPlayer.prepare(mediaSource, false, false);
exoPlayer.seekTo(0, 0);

Everything is fine and the video gets streamed. But the problem I'm facing is the initial load time to start the video is too long (5+ seconds). I want to reduce the initial loading time to start the video to (0-2 seconds). Is there a way to achieve this using exoplayer?

I also tried using DASH media source in exoplayer using the code below

Uri videoUri = Uri.parse(videourl);
DataSource.Factory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory(Util.getUserAgent(SafetyTVHomeActivity.this, "app-name"));
MediaSource mediaSource = new DashMediaSource.Factory(dataSourceFactory).createMediaSource(videoUri);
exoPlayer = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(this);
exoPlayer.prepare(mediaSource);
exoPlayerView.setPlayer(exoPlayer);
exoPlayer.addListener(new PlayerEventListener());

I used the same firebase storage URL in the dash media source but I'm getting the following error

ExoPlayerImplInternal: Source error.
com.google.android.exoplayer2.ParserException: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: Unexpected token (position:TEXT G@��B�%���������...@2:79 in java.io.InputStreamReader@c587547) at com.google.android.exoplayer2.source.dash.manifest.DashManifestParser.parse(DashManifestParser.java:105) at........

Could anyone please help me on how can I work around this.

My main objective is to stream video from URL and the initial load time to start the video should be 0-2 seconds (The way TikTok does it). Any help would be really helpful.
