Smooth Streaming LIVE support

[taaeng]

I can see ExoPlayer supports Smooth Streaming. Does this include Smooth Streaming LIVE as well?

A quick test gives this exception:
07-14 11:21:15.956: E/EventLogger(23424): java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=0; index=0

Not currently. We'll use this issue to track adding support, although it's not a priority for us (v.s. widening DASH support, DASH Live and HLS) at the moment.

Thank you for quick reply.

Reopening to track eventual support.

This is now working, with the exception that sparse TTML subtitles may cause buffering issues (fix to follow).

[PatricioMP]

Yes, I have tested it with live smoothStreaming, and its working good!

I din't managed to put to work the stream with playReadyDRM.

This error happens:
android.media.UnsupportedSchemeException: Failed to instantiate drm object.
at android.media.MediaDrm.native_setup(Native Method)
at android.media.MediaDrm.(MediaDrm.java:163)

Do you know whats the problem?

Thanks.

Most Android devices don't support PlayReady, which is why you get an UnsupportedSchemeException. Widevine is the only mandatory DRM that Android devices need to support.

I was suspecting that was the issue..

Thanks

[ojw28]

Fixed.

[danieljanes]

Since this is fixed, could you merge it into master to show that it's production ready?

[ojw28]

Yes. We've been waiting until we can merge dev-l before cutting a new release, but with the release of the L SDK this should now be possible.

[ojw28]

FYI - This is now merged.

Thanks for the update.
