Resolution

ByteArk Player SDK for Android supports both automatic Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR) and manual resolution selection.

Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR)

By default the player adjusts resolution automatically based on network speed via ExoPlayer's ABR.

Show the resolution picker

Enable withSettingButton() to let viewers pick a resolution from the UI:

val playerBuilder = ByteArkPlayerBuilder.Builder()
  .withContext(this)
  .withControl()
  .withSettingButton()
  .build()

Select resolution via API

val resolutions: List<ByteArkResolution> = mPlayerFragment.getResolutions()
val current: ByteArkResolution? = mPlayerFragment.getCurrentResolution()
mPlayerFragment.setResolution(resolutions[0])

Note

When a resolution is set manually, ABR is paused for that selection. The viewer can return to ABR by selecting the "Auto" option in the Settings button.
