KitePlayer 0.0.25

The audio visualiser no longer crashes on Android 13 and newer, and the media session behaves on every platform: buffering shows as buffering, the lock screen and the now playing card are written only when they would be wrong, and the web gets browser media controls.

Usage

// Native views, no Compose.
implementation("io.github.yuroyami:kiteplayer:0.0.25")

// Compose playback, including the default player and both video paths.
implementation("io.github.yuroyami:kiteplayer-compose:0.0.25")

// Optional Compose audio visualiser, alongside either playback dependency.
implementation("io.github.yuroyami:kiteplayer-audioviz:0.0.25")

Changelog

• Fixed the audio visualiser crashing on Android 13 and newer with "Software rendering doesn't support RuntimeShader". On Android, warp drawings now leave a plain echo instead of a bent one. Fixes #135.
• Fixed a stalled stream showing as paused on the Android lock screen, and the lock screen being rewritten on every tick.
• Fixed the iOS now playing card being rebuilt five times a second. Live streams are marked live and get no scrub bar.
• Added browser media controls on the web through KitePlayerMediaSession, and a desktop stub that reports it is unavailable.
• Both samples now use the media session and the playback guards. Fixes #77.
• Breaking: MediaSessionState takes a phase and a hasVideo flag. Code that builds or copies one needs the new parameters; reading playing works as before.
