ExoPlayer is an open-source application-level media player library for Android developed by Google, offering a highly customizable alternative to the standard MediaPlayer API. It supports adaptive streaming formats such as DASH, HLS, SmoothStreaming, and RTSP, enabling developers to handle a wide range of media sources. Unlike the built-in Android player, ExoPlayer is designed for easy extension and customization, allowing tailored playback experiences. The library has been merged into AndroidX Media3, ensuring ongoing compatibility and updates within the Android ecosystem.
