I. Using Dependencies

There are currently three hosting methods:

--- Version Update Instructions --- .

--- Recent Playback Features --- .

Since jitpack keeps losing packages, it has been migrated to MavenCentral. The usage is as follows:

First Add

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ///...
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url "https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/public" }
    }
}

You can choose one of the following three and add it to the build.gradle under the module.

A. Direct Introduction

 //Complete version introduction

implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer:13.0.0'


//Whether AliPlayer mode is needed
implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-aliplay:13.0.0'

B. Add java and the so support you want:

 implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-java:13.0.0'

 //Whether ExoPlayer mode is needed
 implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-exo2:13.0.0'

 //Whether AliPlayer mode is needed
 implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-aliplay:13.0.0'

 //so of ijk mode according to your needs
 implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-arm64:13.0.0'
 implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-armv7a:13.0.0'
 implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-armv5:13.0.0'
 implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-x86:13.0.0'
 implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-x64:13.0.0'

C. Support other format protocols (mpeg, rtsp, concat, crypto protocols, support 16k Page Size)

A and B normal versions support 263/264/265, etc. For mpeg encoding, there will be sound but no picture. The so introduced by C supports mpeg encoding and other supplementary protocols, but the so package is relatively larger.

 implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-java:13.0.0'

 //Whether ExoPlayer mode is needed
 implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-exo2:13.0.0'

 //Whether AliPlayer mode is needed
 implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-aliplay:13.0.0'

 //More ijk encoding support
 implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-ex_so:13.0.0'

D. Jetpack Compose Support (Optional, Unreleased)

⚠ The gsyvideoplayer-compose module is NOT yet published. The 13.0.0 coordinate below is reserved β€” it can only be resolved via ./gradlew :gsyVideoPlayer-compose:publishToMavenLocal, or by depending on the source module directly with implementation project(":gsyVideoPlayer-compose"). Wait for the official release tag for the first public artifact.

πŸ›  Toolchain note: the Compose module is verified on JDK 21 in CI (.github/workflows/*.yml β€” actions/setup-java java-version: 21) and JDK 17 locally (the module pins sourceCompatibility / targetCompatibility / jvmTarget = 17 in gsyVideoPlayer-compose/build.gradle). Both are fine; just make sure your local JDK is β‰₯ 17 so Kotlin 2.0.21 + AGP 8.6.1 can build.

The new gsyvideoplayer-compose module exposes Compose entries on top of the existing kernels and UI without touching any legacy code:

// Source dependency (recommended for now while the module is unreleased):
implementation project(':gsyVideoPlayer-compose')

// Reserved coordinate β€” only resolves locally via publishToMavenLocal:
// implementation 'io.github.carguo:gsyvideoplayer-compose:13.0.0'
// compose-bom is api-exposed from the module; consumers still manage androidx.compose.* per their own project setup.

See doc/COMPOSE_USE.md. The sample app provides a Compose Demo entry with 24 runnable Compose Activities β€” covering Wrapper basics, Native detail/list/multi-window/auto-play/seamless-switch, plus P5 differentiating capabilities (filter, cache/download, ad pre-roll, subtitle, custom danmaku, EXO multi-source, parallel multi-window) and P5-2 modern app patterns (vertical short video, floating window, multi-type list, web mixed layout, audio-only, URL/local file, MediaCodec hardware switch, themed custom controls). DemoSamples.kt is a shared data object of test URLs, not a runnable Activity. Outstanding gaps and the rolling roadmap are tracked in doc/COMPOSE_BACKLOG.md.

Since Jitpack often has the problem of random loss of historical packages, a new Github Package dependency method is added. The usage is as follows:

However, accessing github package requires a token to access, which is more troublesome, but it is stable.

allprojects {
    repositories {
		//...
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.pkg.github.com/CarGuo/GSYVideoPlayer'

            // You can also use your own GitHub account and token
            // For convenience, I have provided a token for an infrequently used account here
            credentials {
                // your github name
                username = 'carsmallguo'
                // your github generate new token
                password = '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'
            }
        }
        maven {
            url "https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/public"
        }
        mavenCentral()

    }
}

In theory, it is the avatar in the upper right corner - Settings - Developer Settings - Personal access tokens - tokens (classic) - Generate new token (classic) - read:packages Remember to choose permanent for the expiration time

Tip: this repository's root build.gradle already supports reading the GitHub Packages credentials from a Gradle property or environment variable, so you don't have to hard-code your own token in the source tree:

# ~/.gradle/gradle.properties (recommended for local builds)
githubReadUser=<your-github-name>
githubReadToken=<your-classic-token-with-read:packages>

Or in CI:

export GITHUB_READ_USER=<your-github-name>
export GITHUB_READ_TOKEN=<your-classic-token-with-read:packages>

The hard-coded carsmallguo / ghp_... pair is only kept as a fallback so first-time clones still build out of the box; it may be revoked at any time, so prefer providing your own.

You can choose one of the following three and add it to the build.gradle under the module.

A. Direct Introduction

 //Complete version introduction
 implementation 'com.shuyu:gsyvideoplayer:13.0.0'


 //Whether AliPlayer mode is needed
 implementation 'com.shuyu:gsyvideoplayer-aliplay:13.0.0'

B. Add java and the so support you want:

 implementation 'com.shuyu:gsyvideoplayer-java:13.0.0'

 //Whether ExoPlayer mode is needed
 implementation 'com.shuyu:gsyvideoplayer-exo2:13.0.0'

 //Whether AliPlayer mode is needed
 implementation 'com.shuyu:gsyvideoplayer-aliplay:13.0.0'

 //so of ijk mode according to your needs
 implementation 'com.shuyu:gsyvideoplayer-armv5:13.0.0'
 implementation 'com.shuyu:gsyvideoplayer-armv7a:13.0.0'
 implementation 'com.shuyu:gsyvideoplayer-arm64:13.0.0'
 implementation 'com.shuyu:gsyvideoplayer-x86:13.0.0'
 implementation 'com.shuyu:gsyvideoplayer-x64:13.0.0'

C. Support other format protocols (mpeg, rtsp, concat, crypto protocols, support 16k Page Size)

 implementation 'com.shuyu:gsyvideoplayer-aliplay:13.0.0'

 //More ijk encoding support
 implementation 'com.shuyu:gsyvideoplayer-ex_so:13.0.0'

Historical packages may have random packet loss, and it is not easy to supplement, see #4144:

First, add in the build.gradle under the project

allprojects {
    repositories {
		//...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        maven { url "https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/public" }
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

You can choose one of the following three and add it to the build.gradle under the module.

IV. Running Effect

The demo now uses a WebVTT thumbnail track for seek preview instead of extracting many frames from the original video on the client. The VTT can point to separate images or sprite coordinates:

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.000
160p-00001.jpg#xywh=0,0,284,160

Library APIs include GSYVideoPreviewVttParser, GSYVideoPreviewProvider, and GSYVideoPreviewFrame. The app layer loads the frame image and crops the sprite area if needed. See PreViewGSYVideoPlayer#setPreviewVttUrl(String previewVttUrl).

Warm Reminder

If cloning is too slow, you can try downloading from Gitee

Regarding customization and problems, please refer to the FAQ, demo, and issues first.

Learn more about basic audio and video common sense, and understand containers, audio and video encoding, ffmpeg, and the differences in mediacodec.
Try to avoid asking why others can play.

The player is highly customizable. For customization, please refer to the demo and read the source code. There are many functions now, and the demo is constantly being updated.

Some new functions and project structures are also constantly being adjusted.

Welcome to ask questions, thank you.
