Public functions

clearDecoderInfoCache

@VisibleForTesting
synchronized java-static fun clearDecoderInfoCache(): Unit

createCodecProfileLevel

@UnstableApi
java-static fun createCodecProfileLevel(profile: Int, level: Int): MediaCodecInfo.CodecProfileLevel!

Returns a CodecProfileLevel configured with the provided profile and level.

getAlternativeCodecMimeType

java-static fun getAlternativeCodecMimeType(format: Format!): String?

Returns an alternative codec MIME type (besides the default sampleMimeType) that can be used to decode samples of the provided Format.

Parameters
format: Format!

The media format.
Returns
String?

An alternative MIME type of a codec that be used decode samples of the provided Format (besides the default sampleMimeType), or null if no such alternative exists.

getAlternativeDecoderInfos

java-static fun getAlternativeDecoderInfos(
    mediaCodecSelector: MediaCodecSelector!,
    format: Format!,
    requiresSecureDecoder: Boolean,
    requiresTunnelingDecoder: Boolean
): (Mutable)List<MediaCodecInfo!>!

Returns a list of decoders for alternative MIME types that can decode samples of the provided Format, in the priority order specified by the MediaCodecSelector.

Since the MediaCodecSelector only has access to sampleMimeType, the list is not ordered to account for whether each decoder supports the details of the format (e.g., taking into account the format's profile, level, resolution and so on). getDecoderInfosSortedByFormatSupport can be used to further sort the list into an order where decoders that fully support the format come first.

The decoder selector.
format: Format!

The Format for which an alternative decoder is required.
requiresSecureDecoder: Boolean

Whether a secure decoder is required.
requiresTunnelingDecoder: Boolean

Whether a tunneling decoder is required.
Returns
(Mutable)List<MediaCodecInfo!>!

A list of MediaCodecInfos corresponding to alternative decoders. May be empty.
Throws
androidx.media3.exoplayer.mediacodec.MediaCodecUtil.DecoderQueryException

Thrown if there was an error querying decoders.

getCodecProfileAndLevel

@InlineMe(replacement = "CodecSpecificDataUtil.getCodecProfileAndLevel(format)", imports = [""androidx.media3.common.util.CodecSpecificDataUtil""])
java-static fun getCodecProfileAndLevel(format: Format!): Pair<Int!, Int!>?

Whether the decoder is required to support secure decryption. Always pass false unless secure decryption really is required.
tunneling: Boolean

Whether the decoder is required to support tunneling. Always pass false unless tunneling really is required.
Returns
MediaCodecInfo?

A MediaCodecInfo describing the decoder, or null if no suitable decoder exists.
Throws
androidx.media3.exoplayer.mediacodec.MediaCodecUtil.DecoderQueryException

If there was an error querying the available decoders.

getDecoderInfos

synchronized java-static fun getDecoderInfos(mimeType: String!, secure: Boolean, tunneling: Boolean): (Mutable)List<MediaCodecInfo!>!

Returns all MediaCodecInfos for the given MIME type, in the order given by MediaCodecList.

getDecoderInfosSoftMatch

@RequiresNonNull(value = "#2.sampleMimeType")
java-static fun getDecoderInfosSoftMatch(
    mediaCodecSelector: MediaCodecSelector!,
    format: Format!,
    requiresSecureDecoder: Boolean,
    requiresTunnelingDecoder: Boolean
): (Mutable)List<MediaCodecInfo!>!

Returns a list of decoders that can decode media in the specified format, in the priority order specified by the MediaCodecSelector.

Since the MediaCodecSelector only has access to sampleMimeType, the list is not ordered to account for whether each decoder supports the details of the format (e.g., taking into account the format's profile, level, resolution and so on). getDecoderInfosSortedByFormatSupport can be used to further sort the list into an order where decoders that fully support the format come first.

This list is more complete than getDecoderInfos, as it also considers alternative MIME types that are a close match using getAlternativeCodecMimeType.

Parameters
mediaCodecSelector: MediaCodecSelector!

The decoder selector.
format: Format!

The Format for which a decoder is required.
requiresSecureDecoder: Boolean

Whether a secure decoder is required.
requiresTunnelingDecoder: Boolean

Whether a tunneling decoder is required.
Returns
(Mutable)List<MediaCodecInfo!>!

A list of MediaCodecInfos corresponding to decoders. May be empty.
Throws
androidx.media3.exoplayer.mediacodec.MediaCodecUtil.DecoderQueryException

Thrown if there was an error querying decoders.

    format: Format!
): (Mutable)List<MediaCodecInfo!>!

Returns a copy of the provided decoder list sorted such that decoders with functional format support are listed first. The returned list is modifiable for convenience.

getDecoderInfosSortedByFullFormatSupport

java-static fun getDecoderInfosSortedByFullFormatSupport(
    decoderInfos: (Mutable)List<MediaCodecInfo!>!,

    decoderInfos: (Mutable)List<MediaCodecInfo!>!
): (Mutable)List<MediaCodecInfo!>!

Returns a copy of the provided decoder list sorted such that software decoders are listed first. Break ties by listing non-vendor decoders first, due to issues with decoder reuse with some software vendor codecs. See b/382447848.

The returned list is not modifiable.

java-static fun getDecryptOnlyDecoderInfo(): MediaCodecInfo?

Returns information about a decoder that will only decrypt data, without decoding it.
