Last updated: 2022-10-20 15:57:07

    Overview

    Tencent Cloud’s live stream player
    The player pulls audio/video data from the specified live streaming URL and plays the data after decoding and local rendering.

    Features

    The player has the following capabilities:

    • Playing over protocols including RTMP, HTTP-FLV, TRTC, and WebRTC
    • Taking screenshots of streamed video
    • Delay adjustment. You can set the minimum and maximum cache time for auto adjustment by the player.
    • Custom video processing. You can process live video based on your project requirements before rendering and playback.

    Basic SDK APIs

    setObserver

    This API is used to set the callbacks of the player. After setting, you can listen for callback events of V2TXLivePlayer, including player status, playback volume, first audio/video frame, statistics, and warning and error messages.

    public abstract void setObserver(V2TXLivePlayerObserver observer);
    

    Parameters

    Parameter Type Description
    observer V2TXLivePlayerObserver Target object for the player’s callbacks. For details, see V2TXLivePlayerObserver.

    startLivePlay

    This API is used to start playing audio/video streams.

    public abstract int startLivePlay(String url);
    
    Note:

    Since v10.7, startPlay has been replaced by startLivePlay, and you need to call V2TXLivePremier#setLicence or TXLiveBase#setLicence to set the license to use the live playback feature (you only need to set the license once). Otherwise, playback will fail (black screen). You can use a live stream publishing license, UGSV license, or video playback license to activate the live playback feature. If you don’t have any of the licenses, you can buy one or apply for a trial license for free.
