Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it in your root settings.gradle at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Add it in your settings.gradle.kts at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
		}
	}

Add to pom.xml

	<repositories>
		<repository>
		    <id>jitpack.io</id>
		    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

Add it in your build.sbt at the end of resolvers:

 
    resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"

Add it in your project.clj at the end of repositories:

 
    :repositories [["jitpack" "https://jitpack.io"]]

Step 2. Add the dependency

	dependencies {
		implementation 'com.github.brightcove:ExoPlayer:r1.5.13.3'
	}

	dependencies {
		implementation("com.github.brightcove:ExoPlayer:r1.5.13.3")
	}

	<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.github.brightcove</groupId>
	    <artifactId>ExoPlayer</artifactId>
	    <version>r1.5.13.3</version>
	</dependency>


                            
    libraryDependencies += "com.github.brightcove" % "ExoPlayer" % "r1.5.13.3"


                            
    :dependencies [[com.github.brightcove/ExoPlayer "r1.5.13.3"]]

Readme

ExoPlayer

ExoPlayer is an application level media player for Android. It provides an alternative to Android’s MediaPlayer API for playing audio and video both locally and over the Internet. ExoPlayer supports features not currently supported by Android’s MediaPlayer API, including DASH and SmoothStreaming adaptive playbacks. Unlike the MediaPlayer API, ExoPlayer is easy to customize and extend, and can be updated through Play Store application updates.

Documentation

The developer guide provides a wealth of information to help you get started.
The class reference documents the ExoPlayer library classes.
The release notes document the major changes in each release.

Using ExoPlayer

Via Brightcove repo

The easiest way to get started using ExoPlayer is by including the following in your project's build.gradle file:

repositories {
    maven {
      url 'http://repo.brightcove.com/releases'
    }
}

and

compile 'com.google.exoplayer:library:X.X.X'

where X.X.X is your preferred version. For the latest version, see the project's Releases.

As source

ExoPlayer can also be built from source using Gradle. You can include it as a dependent project like so:

// settings.gradle
include ':app', ':..:ExoPlayer:library'

// app/build.gradle
dependencies {
    compile project(':..:ExoPlayer:library')
}

As a jar

If you want to use ExoPlayer as a jar, run:

./gradlew jarRelease

and copy library.jar to the libs folder of your new project.

Developing ExoPlayer

Using Android Studio

To develop ExoPlayer using Android Studio, simply open the ExoPlayer project in the root directory of the repository.
