btw I was planning to make a video player app with jetpack compose and here you are withing the right time, thanks.

[@Adam0001]

Good topic 👏 If you could make more tutorials like these topics, like recording audio or rebuild spotify project that you already made it before 😁 Thank you for your efforts 💐

[@benbrown1535]

Good video, definitely learned a lot about compose and DI but for someone rather new to Android dev you move particularly fast!

[@elfarouk3306]

Man ,I will be honest with you. I was looking for this a week ago . I feel like you have a reading mind superpower!!! Please keep up the good work .

[@PhilippLackner]

Happy to help!

[@meidy3795]

You just in time 😭 I was about to study about Media 3. Thank you so much 😁😁😁😁😁

[@PhilippLackner]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@thelumiereguy]

What timing! I was just working on the same thing haha

[@sebastianseno9285]

you're lucky bro haha

[@sanjaybhatikar]

Watched this video 3-4 times to wrap my head around all the great content in it. I realized you have a tell. When you use 'simple' in a title that means it is going to be really complicated. Just kidding. Thank you so much and cheers!

[@subbum3414]

I'm grateful, Phillip. Please make videos demonstrating how to use Exo player for video download, playback, and Chrome Cast. I cannot find any videos on this subject.

[@filipebittencourt_]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@mustafaammar551]

Very cool video Thank You Bro you are the best

[@user-od2mj1dv5h]

Thank you very much

[@amineib7286]

Hello Philipp, where do we release the resources here to the player? shouldn't we set the playerview's player to null somewhere?

[@rajamondal5084]

i recommend your channel my developer then she said "Thank you"

[@TheThornTech]

Thank you

[@DahabJr]

This is awesome video, thank you so much, but sir please please we need à video on bottom bar navigation with Raamcosta library . Plz

[@dikenmhrz3902]

Cant we use player from viewModel to play and pause video?

[@ND-xs3wj]

is it a good practice to add your player in the viewmodel?

[@nagp2836]

Hey, can you tell me how get the media metadata and current position of song played from any other app into my app, please give some info on this

[@freshtechtips]

Is this media player specific to Android framework?

[@redev1966]

Hi you can make example preload video with Media3 in view pager ?

[@kelvintan2699]

Does it have some sort of data persistence where the videos I uploaded will not be lost whenever the app closes or phone restarts?

[@Prabhs226]

Its good but what if i want my own design for the player. Like mx plater where you can seek video by double tapping or just by swiping on the video. May be use different layout icons etc. For eg, i want to use it in a bottomsheet, sonplayer design changes according to how much sheet is open.

[@mojamoha8636]

i want to use Media3 Transformer to cut and edit video, any idea

[@SameepSharma]

Hi friends,, I'm facing an issue where I already have a composable which wraps Exoplayer, but I wanto apply fade-in/fade-out on this, however, when I overlay a Box over it AnimatedVisibility, the video starts again as it is recomposed. What to do, want to deliver tonight!

[@summerwise]

Hello, Philipp. Can you make a video about handling different types of body from Retrofit response? For example, handling successful response body and error body with different structure?

[@Priyanshu-ub2bp]

No

[@viledogvd3539]

Hello. I'm trying to make a media player and I have a problem with .flac playback. When I try to get currentPosition of the track to move Slider it gives me a wrong values (multiplied by 2)and app got crash in a few seconds of playback, but with mp3 is everything ok. But if I comment this function everything is playing fine... except progress bar... ???

[@PinaColada65]

Can someone here please tell how to download the adaptive streams through exoplayer with exoplayer's download manager. I have utilised download helper for callback and am stuck with adding the broadcast receiver to it.

[@sathishra1758]

Hi, make a video for the call recording feature latest android versions

[@dikenmhrz3902]

Wouldn't this cause memory leak as the player could be referencing the PlayerView internally? If the activity is destroyed, is it sure the player be referencing the PlayerView?

[@justmeagain9302]

Hmmm since app context of player is scoped to viewmodel, wouldn't it not cause memory leaks tho?

[@BashPSK]

Nice bro 😍😍😍

[@PhilippLackner]

Thanks 🤗

How to play m3u8 format audio with media3

[@aestheticdesigns7469]

can we get audio player also?

[@adamfoerster9098]

Thanks for the excellent video but wow. That is a LOT of setup for a simple video player. I wished there was a framework for Android to abstract away most of the setup and let the dev concentrate in just creating views and logic. Google could take a clue from Angular and do something that feels more batteries included.

[@viledogvd3539]

Hello Philipp can You tell me how to solve my problem. I'am just start to study android development, kotlin, jetpack and so on... I'm writing audio player (ExoPlayer) and I have a problem with progres bar (Slider) when I'm trying to update the slider like that: if(_isPlaying) { LaunchedEffect(key1 = currentTime) { delay(1000L) // wait 1sec. currentTime = audioPlayer.getTrackPosition() bufferedPercentage = audioPlayer.getPlayer()!!.bufferedPercentage } } it cause a micro freezes... every second everything stucks: Lazy column, Marquee Text and even can cause app crash if I reduce delay to smaller values, like 100ms... Do You have any Ideas why does it happens?

[@harpritsingh172]

Hi, Can you please guide and make a video on How to pull a video from the google bucket of Firebase storage. And then play it locally from app's cache, no streaming.

[@justinsmith3981]

unless you are just playing a one off video you should be using a service and a mediaSession
