public class RemoteMediaClient extends Object
implements Cast.MessageReceivedCallback

Class for controlling a media player application running on a receiver.

Some operations, like loading of media or adjusting volume, can be tracked. The corresponding methods return a PendingResult for this purpose. In case of error, such as having lost the connection to the service, the PendingResult will provide a status of CastStatusCodes.FAILED.

Any media session created by calling load(MediaInfo) or queueLoad(MediaQueueItem[], int, int, long, JSONObject) will be associated with a queue on the receiver application. If the media session is created by calling load(MediaInfo), then the media queue is a non-repeatable queue with a single item, and other queuing related operations such as queueInsertItems(MediaQueueItem[], int, JSONObject) and queueUpdateItems(MediaQueueItem[], JSONObject) can still be applied on top of it.

Nested Class Summary

class RemoteMediaClient.Callback The callback for tracking player status changes. 
interface RemoteMediaClient.Listener This interface is deprecated. Use RemoteMediaClient.Callback instead.  
interface RemoteMediaClient.MediaChannelResult The result of a media command. 
interface RemoteMediaClient.ParseAdsInfoCallback The callback interface for parsing ads information from the custom data inside the MediaStatus. 
interface RemoteMediaClient.ProgressListener The listener interface for getting updates on the progress of the currently playing media. 

Constant Summary

If itemId is not found in the queue, this method will report success without sending a request to the receiver.

Parameters
itemId The ID of the item to which to jump.
playPosition The initial playback position for the item when it is first played, in milliseconds from the beginning of the stream.

Loads and optionally starts playback of a new queue of media items. The media item at startIndex starts playback at playPosition.

It is recommended to use load(MediaLoadRequestData) instead, which is an advanced load command supporting loading a single item or a queue with additional options.

Parameters
items Array of items to load, in the order that they should be played. Must not be null or empty.
startIndex The array index of the item in the items array that should be played first (that is, it will become the currentItem). If repeatMode is MediaStatus.REPEAT_MODE_REPEAT_OFF playback will end when the last item in the array is played.

This may be useful for continuation scenarios where the user was already using the sender application and in the middle decides to cast. This lets the sender application avoid mapping between the local and remote queue positions and/or avoid issuing an extra request to update the queue.

This value must be less than the length of items.
repeatMode The repeat playback mode for the queue. One of MediaStatus.REPEAT_MODE_REPEAT_OFF, MediaStatus.REPEAT_MODE_REPEAT_ALL, MediaStatus.REPEAT_MODE_REPEAT_SINGLE or MediaStatus.REPEAT_MODE_REPEAT_ALL_AND_SHUFFLE.
playPosition The initial playback position for the item at startIndex when it is first played, in milliseconds from the beginning of the stream. This value is ignored if the same item is played again, for example, when the queue repeats, or this item is later jumped to. In those cases the item's startTime is used.
customData Custom application-specific data to pass along with the request. May be null.
Returns
  • A PendingResult which can be used to track the progress of the request.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException If items is null or empty, startIndex is out of range, or playPosition is negative.
IllegalStateException If this method is not called on the main thread.

public PendingResult<RemoteMediaClient.MediaChannelResult> queueLoad (MediaQueueItem[] items, int startIndex, int repeatMode, JSONObject customData)

Loads and optionally starts playback of a new queue of media items.

It is recommended to use load(MediaLoadRequestData) instead, which is an advanced load command supporting loading a single item or a queue with additional options.

Parameters
items Array of items to load, in the order that they should be played. Must not be null or empty.
startIndex The array index of the item in the items array that should be played first (that is, it will become the currentItem). If repeatMode is MediaStatus.REPEAT_MODE_REPEAT_OFF playback will end when the last item in the array is played.

This may be useful for continuation scenarios where the user was already using the sender application and in the middle decides to cast. This lets the sender application avoid mapping between the local and remote queue positions and/or avoid issuing an extra request to update the queue.

This value must be less than the length of items.
repeatMode The repeat playback mode for the queue. One of MediaStatus.REPEAT_MODE_REPEAT_OFF, MediaStatus.REPEAT_MODE_REPEAT_ALL, MediaStatus.REPEAT_MODE_REPEAT_SINGLE or MediaStatus.REPEAT_MODE_REPEAT_ALL_AND_SHUFFLE.
