Trigger

Use for HLS/DASH source setup, ABR manifest issues, subtitles, variant selection, live/DVR behavior, or stream compatibility.

Rules

• Start with streaming-media-architecture for ownership, KMP split, preload window, and telemetry.
• Pin Media3 to 1.10.1 through the version catalog.
• Keep Media3 APIs in Android source sets; expose KMP-safe state/events upward.
• Set MIME type when URI extension is unreliable.
• Keep manifest fixes server-side when possible.
• Handle subtitles through track selection parameters.
• Do not mix live and VOD semantics in one timeline.

Example

MediaItem.Builder()
    .setUri(url)
    .setMimeType(MimeTypes.APPLICATION_M3U8)
    .build()
