Android Question Exoplayer Loop function

[Ricardo Bunschoten]

If u use a Http:// source like

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
If FirstTime Then
player1.Initialize("player")
Dim sources As List
sources.Initialize
sources.Add(player1.CreateUriSource("http://192.168.178.16/video/film.mp4"))
player1.Prepare(player1.CreateListSource(sources))

Can i still use the loop function ?


Because this code i found on the forum uses a listsource instead of a Urisource ?

Dim ListSource As Object = player1.CreateListSource(sources)
player1.Prepare(player1.CreateLoopSource(ListSource, -1))

So i am a little confused on how to use the loop function on a urisource ?

You can pass any type of source to CreateLoopSource. If you want to play a single source then you don't need to use CreateListSource here.

I tried this

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    If FirstTime Then
        player1.Initialize("player")
        Dim sources As List
        sources.Initialize
        sources.Add(player1.CreateUriSource("http://192.168.178.16/video/film.mp4"))
        player1.Prepare(player1.CreateLoopSource(sources, -1))
    End If
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    SimpleExoPlayerView1.Player = player1
    player1.Play
End Sub

Sources is the source of course and the -1 is for the infinite loop

But the app starts and stop immediately ?

Is the syntax wrong ?

Try to change this code:

sources.Add(player1.CreateUriSource("http://192.168.178.16/video/film.mp4"))
player1.Prepare(player1.CreateLoopSource(sources, -1))

to this:

sources.Add(player1.CreateUriSource("http://192.168.178.16/video/film.mp4"))
Dim ListSource As Object = player1.CreateListSource(sources)
player1.Prepare(player1.CreateLoopSource(sources, -1))

There must be an error message in the logs. Post it.

player1.Prepare(player1.CreateLoopSource(sources, -1))

That Don't works i get a error that variable listsource is not used

Sorry to bother you Been a while since i have time for b4a and when i started i was a newbie still are haha

I tried this

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    If FirstTime Then
        player1.Initialize("player")
        Dim sources As List
        sources.Initialize
        sources.Add(player1.CreateUriSource("http://192.168.178.16/video/film.mp4"))
        player1.Prepare(player1.CreateLoopSource(sources, -1))
    End If
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    SimpleExoPlayerView1.Player = player1
    player1.Play
End Sub

Sources is the source of course and the -1 is for the infinite loop

But the app starts and stop immediately ?

Is the syntax wrong ?

When i use a other url then it also quits direct. So it's not the url.

Thnx Ac9ts That was what i was looking for thnx m8

You have to dim listsource as object otherwise the loop won't work

Thank you

This is the real problem. You must be able to read the logs.
On some devices you need to enable the logs on the developer options. If you don't see the logs with B4A-Bridge then try to switch to USB debug mode.
