int playPreloadedSrc(String src);

Details

After calling the preloadSrc method to preload the media resource into the playlist, you can call this method to play the preloaded media resource. After calling this method, if you receive the onPlayerStateChanged callback which reports the PLAYER_STATE_PLAYING state, the playback is successful.

If you want to change the preloaded media resource to be played, you can call this method again and specify the URL of the new media resource that you want to preload. If you want to replay the media resource, you need to call preloadSrc to preload the media resource to the playlist again before playing. If you want to clear the playlist, call the stop [1/2] method.

Note:

If you call this method when playback is paused, this method does not take effect until playback is resumed.

Parameters

src
The URL of the media resource in the playlist must be consistent with the src set by the preloadSrc method; otherwise, the media resource cannot be played.

Returns

  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

preloadSrc

Preloads a media resource.

int preloadSrc(String src, long startPos);

Details

You can call this method to preload a media resource into the playlist. If you need to preload multiple media resources, you can call this method multiple times.

After calling this method, if you receive the PLAYER_PRELOAD_EVENT_COMPLETE event in the onPreloadEvent callback, the preload is successful; If you receive the PLAYER_PRELOAD_EVENT_ERROR event in the onPreloadEvent callback, the preload fails.

If the preload is successful and you want to play the media resource, call playPreloadedSrc; if you want to clear the playlist, call stop [1/2].

Attention:
  • Before calling this method, ensure that you have called open [1/2] or openWithMediaSource to open the media resource successfully.
  • Agora does not support preloading duplicate media resources to the playlist. However, you can preload the media resources that are being played to the playlist again.

Parameters

src
The URL of the media resource.

Parameters

pitch
Sets the pitch of the local music file by the chromatic scale. The default value is 0, which means keeping the original pitch. The value ranges from -12 to 12, and the pitch value between consecutive values is a chromatic value. The greater the absolute value of this parameter, the higher or lower the pitch of the local music file.

Returns

  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

setAudioDualMonoMode

Sets the channel mode of the current audio file.

int setAudioDualMonoMode(int mode);

Details

In a stereo music file, the left and right channels can store different audio data. According to your needs, you can set the channel mode to original mode, left channel mode, right channel mode, or mixed channel mode. For example, in the KTV scenario, the left channel of the music file stores the musical accompaniment, and the right channel stores the singing voice. If you only need to listen to the accompaniment, call this method to set the channel mode of the music file to left channel mode; if you need to listen to the accompaniment and the singing voice at the same time, call this method to set the channel mode to mixed channel mode.

Attention:
  • Call this method after calling open [1/2].
  • This method only applies to stereo audio files.

Parameters

mode
The channel mode.
  • AUDIO_DUAL_MONO_STEREO(0): Original mode.
  • AUDIO_DUAL_MONO_L(1): Left channel mode. This mode replaces the audio of the right channel with the audio of the left channel, which means the user can only hear the audio of the left channel.
  • AUDIO_DUAL_MONO_R(2): Right channel mode. This mode replaces the audio of the left channel with the audio of the right channel, which means the user can only hear the audio of the right channel.
  • AUDIO_DUAL_MONO_MIX(3): Mixed channel mode. This mode mixes the audio of the left channel and the right channel, which means the user can hear the audio of the left channel and the right channel at the same time.

Returns

  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

setLoopCount

Sets the loop playback.

int setLoopCount(int loopCount);

Details

If you want to loop, call this method and set the number of the loops.

When the loop finishes, the SDK triggers onPlayerStateChanged and reports the playback state as PLAYER_STATE_PLAYBACK_ALL_LOOPS_COMPLETED.

Parameters

loopCount
The number of times the audio effect loops:
  • ≥0: Number of times for playing. For example, setting it to 0 means no loop playback, playing only once; setting it to 1 means loop playback once, playing a total of twice.
  • -1: Play the audio file in an infinite loop.

Returns

  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

setPlaybackSpeed

Sets the channel mode of the current audio file.

int setPlaybackSpeed(int speed);

Details

Returns

  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

setSpatialAudioParams

Enables or disables the spatial audio effect for the media player.

int setSpatialAudioParams(SpatialAudioParams params);

Details

After successfully setting the spatial audio effect parameters of the media player, the SDK enables the spatial audio effect for the media player, and the local user can hear the media resources with a sense of space.

If you need to disable the spatial audio effect for the media player, set the params parameter to null.

Call timing

Call this method after play.

Restrictions

None.

Returns

  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

switchSrc

Switches the media resource being played.

int switchSrc(String src, boolean syncPts);

Details

You can call this method to switch the media resource to be played according to the current network status. For example:
  • When the network is poor, the media resource to be played is switched to a media resource address with a lower bitrate.
  • When the network is good, the media resource to be played is switched to a media resource address with a higher bitrate.

After calling this method, if you receive the onPlayerEvent callback report the PLAYER_EVENT_SWITCH_COMPLETE event, the switching is successful. If the switching fails, the SDK will automatically retry 3 times. If it still fails, you will receive the onPlayerEvent callback reporting the PLAYER_EVENT_SWITCH_ERROR event indicating an error occurred during media resource switching.

Attention:
  • Ensure that you call this method after open [1/2].
  • To ensure normal playback, pay attention to the following when calling this method:
    • Do not call this method when playback is paused.
    • Do not call the seek method during switching.
    • Before switching the media resource, make sure that the playback position does not exceed the total duration of the media resource to be switched.

Parameters
