The methods in the MediaPlayerItem class allow you to obtain information about the content stream represented by a loaded MediaResource.
| Purpose | Method | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ad tags | List<String> getAdTags() | Provides the list of ad tags that are used for the ad placement process. |
| Live stream | boolean isLive(); | True if the stream is live; false if it is VOD. |
| DRM protected | boolean isProtected(); | True if the stream is DRM protected. |
| List<DRMMetadataInfo> getDRMMetadataInfos(); | Lists all the DRM metadata objects discovered in the manifest. | |
| Closed captions | boolean hasClosedCaptions(); | True if closed-caption tracks are available. |
| List<ClosedCaptionsTrack> getClosedCationsTracks(); | Provides a list of available closed-caption tracks. | |
| ClosedCaptionsTrack get SelectedClosedCaptionsTrack(); | Retrieves the closed caption track selected with SelectClosedCaptionsTrack. | |
| Alternate audio tracks | boolean hasAlternateAudio(); |
True if the stream has alternate audio tracks. Note: The main (default) audio track is also part of the
alternate audio track list.
The PSDK for Android considers the main audio track to be one of the items in the alternate audio track list. Because of this, the only case where MediaPlayerItem.hasAlternateAudio returns false is when the stream has no audio at all. If the content has only one audio track, this method returns true, and MediaPlayerItem.getAudioTracks returns a list with a single element (the default audio track). |
| List<AudioTrack> getAudioTracks(); | Provides a list of available alternate audio tracks. | |
| AudioTrack getSelectedAudioTrack(); | Retrieves the currently selected audio track selected with SelectAudioTrack. | |
| Timed metadata | boolean hasTimedMetadata(); | True if the stream has associated timed metadata. |
| List<TimedMetadata> getTimedMetadata(); | Provides a list of the timed metadata objects associated with the stream. | |
| Multiple profiles (bit rates) | boolean isDynamic(); | True if the stream is a multiple bit-rate (MBR) stream. |
| List<Profile> getProfiles(); | Provides a list of the associated profiles. | |
| Trick play | boolean isTrickPlaySupported(); | True if the player supports fast forward, rewind, and resume. |
| List< Float> getAvailablePlaybackRates () | Provides the list of available playback rates in the context of the trick-play feature. | |
| Media resource | MediaResource getResource(); | Returns the media resource associated with this item. |
