IMediaPlayer
This class provides media player functions and supports multiple instances.
addListener
Adds one IMediaPlayerEvent listener.
addListener?<EventType extends keyof IMediaPlayerEvent>( eventType: EventType, listener: IMediaPlayerEvent[EventType] ): void;
Details
After calling this method, you can listen for the corresponding events in the IMediaPlayer object and obtain data through IMediaPlayerEvent. Depending on your project needs, you can add multiple listeners for the same event.
Parameters
- eventType
- The name of the target event to listen for. See IMediaPlayerEvent.
- listener
- The callback function for eventType. Take adding a listener for onPlayerSourceStateChanged as an example:
const onPlayerSourceStateChanged = (connection: RtcConnection, elapsed: number) => {}; engine.addListener('onPlayerSourceStateChanged', onPlayerSourceStateChanged);
adjustPlayoutVolume
Adjusts the local playback volume.
abstract adjustPlayoutVolume(volume: number): number;
Call timing
This method can be called either before or after joining the channel.
Restrictions
None.
Parameters

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 onPlayerSourceStateChanged callback which reports the PlayerStatePlaying 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 method.
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

abstract preloadSrc(src: string, startPos: number): number;
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 PlayerPreloadEventComplete event in the onPreloadEvent callback, the preload is successful; If you receive the PlayerPreloadEventError 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.
- Before calling this method, ensure that you have called open or openWithMediaSource to open the media resource successfully.

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.
- Call this method after calling open.
- This method only applies to stereo audio files.

switchSrc
Switches the media resource being played.
abstract switchSrc(src: string, syncPts?: boolean): number;

After calling this method, if you receive the onPlayerEvent callback report the PlayerEventSwitchComplete 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 PlayerEventSwitchError event indicating an error occurred during media resource switching.
- Ensure that you call this method after open.
- To ensure normal playback, pay attention to the following when calling this method:
- Do not call this method when playback is paused.
