Tizen Native API  3.0

The Player API provides functions for media playback and controlling media playback attributes.

Required Header

#include <player.h>

Overview

The Player API provides a way to play multimedia content. Content can be played from a file, from the network, or from memory. It gives the ability to start/stop/pause/mute, set the playback position (that is, seek), perform various status queries, and control the display.

Additional functions allow registering notifications via callback functions for various state change events.

This API also enables collaboration with the GUI service to present a video.

State Diagram

Playback of multimedia content is controlled by a state machine. The following diagram shows the life cycle and states of the Player.

Asynchronous Operations

All functions that change the player state are synchronous except player_prepare_async(), player_set_play_position(), and player_capture_video(). Thus the result is passed to the application via the callback mechanism.

int player_set_uri ( player_h  player,
const char *  uri

Since :
2.3.1
Remarks:
If you use HTTP or RTSP, URI must start with "http://" or "rtsp://". The default protocol is "file://". If you provide an invalid URI, you won't receive an error message until you call player_start().
This API must be called before calling the player_prepare() or player_prepare_async() to build the player based on the uri information.
The mediastorage privilege(http://tizen.org/privilege/mediastorage) must be added if any video/audio files are used to play located in the internal storage.
The externalstorage privilege(http://tizen.org/privilege/externalstorage) must be added if any video/audio files are used to play located in the external storage.
The internet privilege(http://tizen.org/privilege/internet) must be added if any URLs are used to play from network.

[in]playerThe handle to the media player
[in]uriThe content location, such as the file path, the URI of the HTTP or RTSP stream you want to play
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Setting this volume adjusts the player's instance volume, not the system volume. The valid range is from 0 to 1.0, inclusive (1.0 = 100%). Default value is 1.0. To change system volume, use the Sound Manager API. Finally, it does not support to set other value into each channel currently.

Parameters:
[in]playerThe handle to the media player
[in]leftThe left volume scalar
[in]rightThe right volume scalar
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:

Remarks:
Sound can be mixed with other sounds if you don't control the stream focus in sound-manager module since 3.0.
You can refer to Sound Manager.
