POAndroid HLS playback: Passing url parameters as headers in Mediaplayer.setDataSource() does not work properly
text
Body
copied!<p>I have an HLS m3u8 playlist hosted on a server:</p> <pre><code>#EXTM3U #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10 #EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:YES #EXT-X-KEY:METHOD=AES-128,URI="https://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/crypt.key?e=6889c9ad1087852" #EXT-X-VERSION:2 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1 #EXTINF:10, http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment1_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b #EXTINF:10, http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment2_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b #EXTINF:10, http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment3_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b #EXTINF:10, http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment4_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b #EXTINF:10, http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment5_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b #EXTINF:10, http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment6_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b #EXT-X-ENDLIST </code></pre> <p>but there are extra url parameters needed to retrieve the playlist, i.e. the calls will look like this: </p> <pre><code>http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment1_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b&param1=value1&param2=value2 </code></pre> <p>Setting the headers as key-value pairs on the <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#setDataSource%28android.content.Context,%20android.net.Uri,%20java.util.Map%3Cjava.lang.String,%20java.lang.String%3E%29" rel="nofollow">setDataSource (Context context, Uri uri, Map headers)</a> does not work, at least the way I am trying it. Here is how I create the headers from the original url parameters:</p> <pre><code>String paramString =playlistUrl.substring( playlistUrl.indexOf("?") + 1); String paramsSplit[] = paramString.split("&"); HashMap<String, String> headers = new HashMap<String, String>(); for(int i= 0;i<paramsSplit.length;i++) { String key = paramsSplit[i].substring(0, playlistUrl.indexOf("=")); String value = paramsSplit[i].substring(playlistUrl.indexOf("=")+1, playlistUrl.length() ); headers.put(key, value);//e.g headers.put("param1", "value1"); } </code></pre> <p>Thus I end up with a Map with my parameters in it (i.e. Map'<'param, value'>'), but adding these headers does not work.</p> <p>If i go through the playlist m3u8 itself and amend every single url call with the extra parameters on the end myself, so the playlist is as follows:</p> <pre><code>#EXTM3U #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10 #EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:YES #EXT-X-KEY:METHOD=AES-128,URI="https://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/crypt.key?e=6889c9ad1087852b&param1=value1&param2=value2" #EXT-X-VERSION:2 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1 #EXTINF:10, http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment1_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b&param1=value1&param2=value2 #EXTINF:10, http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment2_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b&param1=value1&param2=value2 #EXTINF:10, http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment3_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b&param1=value1&param2=value2 #EXTINF:10, http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment4_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b&param1=value1&param2=value2 #EXTINF:10, http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment5_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b&param1=value1&param2=value2 #EXTINF:10, http://myserver/playlist/336385.smil/segment6_3_av.ts?e=6889c9ad1087852b&param1=value1&param2=value2 #EXT-X-ENDLIST </code></pre> <p>the playlist works fine, and plays no problem! Obviously it is not ideal to amend the m3u8 with these parameters manually, is there a way to set these parameters for the url calls automatically?</p>
