Introduction to Sources

In MCAV, a source is a component that provides some sort of starting point for a video or audio player. Sources can be in the form of local files, URLs, streams, or device inputs. There are several ways to define a source, and different video players may require different types of sources.

The types of sources included are BrowserSource, FileSource, FrameSource, DeviceSource, and UriSource. To create them is very simple—you just use the respective factory method within the interface.

  // creating a UriSource from a URI
  final UriSource source = UriSource.uri(URI.create("https://google.com"));

Now, you’re able to pass this source into any video player.
