I just recently found a video player app I used got bought and turned into ad infused spyware so this is an attempt to write a video player that hopefully does what I want and nothing more.
Plan changed, now trying with compose so there are a few @Composables hosted in MainActivity via setContent {}
MainScreenshows button to launch SAF file picker then launch ExoPlayerExoPlayerScreenhosts StyledPlayerView that talk to ExoPlayer instance created by ExoHolderVM
ViewModels hosted in MainActivity
ExoHolderVM: creates and holds a instance ofExoPlayerobject that is exposed toExoPlayerScreenMainViewModel: still being hashed out, but it holds some high level state of the player; not yet clear how this interacts with navigation
compose callback to main viewmodel, which then have handler in MainActivity to launch SAF via Intent
In onActivityResult the resulting intent is passed to viewmodel, which then emits a different state
that is handled in compose; this handler then passes uri to exo holder and then launches
ExoPlayerScreen with no arguments.
I think I need to reconsider the whole nav design because as-is it doesn't make sense to me.
[X] Support continued playback with device rotation [] Custom controls in Compose [] Add UI to adjust volume and brightness [] Add error message (from ExoPlayer) [] debug msg ui
[] "back" button and navigation doesn't seem to match while video is playing [] back crashes with NullPointer if we call navigateUp when viewing external uri
[] Cannot play .ts from Synology DSFiles app
[] might be that exoplayer doesn't support mpeg2-ts over pure http get?
[] for some reason, it works on Amazon Fire HD10+?
[X] move to media3 imports instead of exoplayer
2023-02-19 playback continues when rotating screen screen on while playing
2022-04-11 stuck between state emitted via viewmodel and navigation controller that is created in setContent maybe it's just too much abstraction to have a viewmodel here?
2022-10-11 refactored to use navigation to parse launching intent and pass to exoplayer screen create exo holder view model to hold exo player object
2022-10-16 Got local file play kind of working
