ExoPlayer
This project is deprecated and stale. The latest ExoPlayer code is available in https://github.com/androidx/media
Deprecated Android media playback library for audio and video. Development has moved to AndroidX Media3, use that instead for new projects.
ExoPlayer is described in both the description and the README as deprecated: this GitHub project is no longer maintained, and the latest ExoPlayer code now lives in the AndroidX Media3 repository at github.com/androidx/media. The README says commits to the dev-v2 branch here stopped on 2024-04-03, that exoplayer:2.19.1 was the last artifact released from this project, and that no more releases are planned. It points users to an official migration guide and script for moving an existing codebase to the Media3 package names. The README does not describe what ExoPlayer itself does in any further detail, so a fuller explanation is not possible from the data provided.
Where it fits
- Play audio and video files in Android applications (legacy projects only).
- Migrate existing ExoPlayer implementations to AndroidX Media3 for continued support.
