How to enable -experimental- native rendering on Android

This how-to guide describes how to implement experimental native rendering using the THEOplayer Legacy Android SDK (4.12.x).

Prerequisites

In order to enable native rendering on Android, make sure you are at least using version 2.42.2 or higher.

Code example

The snippet below configures the THEOplayer a source description that will render the media natively

private void playSourceWithNativeRendering(String src) {
    tpv.getPlayer().setSource(sourceDescription(
        typedSource(src)
            .setNativeRenderingEnabled(true)
            .build()
    ).build())
}

Note: Important reminder that this is an experimental feature.

Note: Experimental rendering can only be used for playback of DASH streams
