Android SDK - v2 Release Notes

:warning: This page contains Release Notes for the V2 version (UNSUPPORTED) of the SDK. You can find the current, V3 release notes here.


2.70.1

Released: 2021-09-28

Fixed

  • CompatibilityHelper visibility to be public again to allow configuration of offline content serialization

Removed

  • TweaksConfig.shouldEmitAllPendingMetadataOnStreamEnd as it has no effect anymore. The expected behaviour is now achieved without the need to configure it

2.70.0

Released: 2021-08-03

Added

  • PlaybackConfiguration.setAudioFilter() and PlaybackConfiguration.setVideoFilter() that can be used to set a new MediaFilter to specify how strictly potentially unsupported media tracks and qualities are filtered out of a playback session.
  • TweaksConfiguration.devicesThatRequireSurfaceWorkaround to workaround a potential problem with some device's Surface implementation.

Changed

  • Media tracks and qualities that are definitely not supported during a playback session are now filtered out by default, meaning that they will not be exposed via BitmovinPlayer.getAvailableAudio(), BitmovinPlayer.getAvailableAudioQualities() and BitmovinPlayer.getAvailableVideoQualities(). PlaybackConfiguration.setAudioFilter() and PlaybackConfiguration.setVideoFilter() can be used to set a different MediaFilter to make the filtering more strict or to not filter at all

Known Issues

  • While the Player is able to play DASH and HLS ads with the IMA SDK, there is currently a problem when DASH ads are correctly defined as having the mime type "application/dash+xml" in the VAST XML. As a workaround, defining the mime type as "application/x-mpegURL" for DASH ads leads to them playing successfully. We are looking into removing this limitation
