Considerations

Keep this information in mind while using the PSDK for Android.

• Playback is supported only for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) content.
• The PSDK API is implemented in Java.
• Video playback requires the Adobe Video Engine (AVE). This affects how and when media resources can be accessed:
  • Closed captioning is supported to the extent provided by AVE.
  • Depending on encoder precision, the actual encoded media duration may differ from the durations recorded in the stream resource manifest.

    There is no reliable way to resynchronize between the ideal virtual timeline and actual playout timeline. Progress tracking of the stream playback for ad management and Video Analytics must use the actual playout time, so reporting and user interface behavior might not precisely track the media and advertisement content.
