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;

Parameters

volume
The local playback volume, which ranges from 0 to 100:
  • 0: Mute.
  • 100: (Default) The original volume.

Returns

  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

adjustPublishSignalVolume

Adjusts the volume of the media file for publishing.

abstract adjustPublishSignalVolume(volume: number): number;

Details

After connected to the Agora server, you can call this method to adjust the volume of the media file heard by the remote user.

Parameters

volume

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.

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.

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.

Note:

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

Parameters

eventType
The name of the target event to listen for. See IMediaPlayerEvent.
listener
The callback function for eventType. Must pass in the same function object in addListener. Take removing the listener for onPlayerSourceStateChanged as an example:
// Create an onPlayerSourceStateChanged object

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.

abstract setAudioDualMonoMode(mode: AudioDualMonoMode): number;

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.
  • This method only applies to stereo audio files.

Parameters

  • < 0: Failure.

setLoopCount

Sets the loop playback.

abstract setLoopCount(loopCount: number): number;

Details

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

abstract setPlayerOptionInInt(key: string, value: number): number;

Details

The media player supports setting options through key and value. In general, you don't need to know about the option settings. You can use the default option settings of the media player.

The difference between this method and setPlayerOptionInString is that the value parameter of this method is of type Int, while the value of setPlayerOptionInString is of type String. These two methods cannot be used together.

Attention: Ensure that you call this method before open or openWithMediaSource.

abstract setPlayerOptionInString(key: string, value: string): number;

Details

The media player supports setting options through key and value. In general, you don't need to know about the option settings. You can use the default option settings of the media player.

The difference between this method and setPlayerOptionInInt is that the value parameter of this method is of type String, while the value of setPlayerOptionInInt is of type String. These two methods cannot be used together.

Attention: Ensure that you call this method before open or openWithMediaSource.

Parameters

setSpatialAudioParams

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

abstract setSpatialAudioParams(params: SpatialAudioParams): number;

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.

Parameters

The spatial audio effect parameters of the media player. See SpatialAudioParams.

Returns

  • 0: Success.
  • < 0: Failure.

switchSrc

Switches the media resource being played.

abstract switchSrc(src: string, syncPts?: boolean): number;

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 PlayerEventSwitchComplete event in the onPlayerEvent callback, the switch is successful; If you receive the PlayerEventSwitchError event in the onPlayerEvent callback, the switch fails.

Attention:
  • 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.
    • 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

src
The URL of the media resource.
syncPts
Whether to synchronize the playback position (ms) before and after the switch:
  • true: Synchronize the playback position before and after the switch.
  • false: (Default) Do not synchronize the playback position before and after the switch.

Make sure to set this parameter as false if you need to play live streams, or the switch fails. If you need to play on-demand streams, you can set the value of this parameter according to your scenarios.
