Multimedia for Android

Multimedia for Android Library contains an application level media player. It provides a familiar and easy to use way to playback MPEG-DASH streaming content, HTTP and local playback.

• Containers: MPEG4, PIFF 1.1 and PIFF 1.3.
• Codecs: H264, H265 (if supported by device) and AAC.
• Subtitles: SMPTE-TT
• DRM: Marlin and PlayReady (DRM support is not availble on all devices)
• MPEG-DASH: DASH264, DASH265 (isoff-on-demand and isoff-live profiles only)
• Microsoft Smooth Streaming

The library requires API level 19 (KitKat) or above. The included Demo Application shows the Library in full use. However the Library is very easy to use and should be very familiar to anyone that has worked with Android MediaPlayer. Below is a very short example.

import com.sonymobile.android.media.MediaPlayer; ... MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer; mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(

); mMediaPlayer.setDisplay; mMediaPlayer.prepare; mMediaPlayer.play;

Android Studio

The project contains an Android Studio project for both the library and the demo application.

• Install Android Studio and setup the SDK
