Get URL of BrightCove video for download and Stream


I am creating an android app in which I want to play as well as download videos from BrightCove now the problem is BrightCove has its own player i.e. com.brightcove.player.view.BrightcoveExoPlayerVideoView Which I could not use. I have to play the video in Android Native MediaPlayer.

I have check all the docs and there they only provide some thing like this again and again

  EventEmitter eventEmitter = brightcoveVideoView.getEventEmitter();
    Catalog catalog = new Catalog(eventEmitter, getString(R.string.account), getString(R.string.policy));

    catalog.findVideoByID(getString(R.string.videoId), new VideoListener() {

      // Add the video found to the queue with add().
      // Start playback of the video with start().
      @Override
        public void onVideo(Video video) {
          brightcoveVideoView.add(video);
          brightcoveVideoView.start(); 
        }

      @Override
        public void onError(String s) {
          throw new RuntimeException(s);
        }
    });

How could I get the exact url for playing and downloading?

When search for a Video on BrightCove using servercalls/API_tester it returns some this

It has some links like

rtmp://brightcove.fcod.llnwd.net/a500/e1/uds/rtmp/ondemand/&mp4:57838016001/57838016001_1520959023001_Space-Galaxy.mp4&1460095200000&a99dcabb0f88cdf8d21b3a5778da8e06

but there are not playing any thing on MediaPlayer. May be because of rtmp and for rmtp I may have to use Vitamio but I can't as I am restricted to use native MediaPlayer.

On IOS I am able to get the urls using : BCOVPlaybackService But there is no such class in android .

Thanks


Solution

  • Okay This is how I am getting URL

     EventEmitter eventEmitter = player.getEventEmitter();
                Catalog catalog = new Catalog(eventEmitter, account, privacy);
                catalog.findVideoByID(video_brightcove_id, new VideoListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onVideo(Video video) {
    
                        Map<DeliveryType, SourceCollection> map = video.getSourceCollections();
                        Set<DeliveryType> st = map.keySet();
                        SourceCollection sor = map.get(DeliveryType.valueOf("MP4"));
                        Set<Source> se = sor.getSources();
                        Object[] ar = se.toArray();
                        Source hp = (Source) ar[0];
                        Map<String, Object> ma = hp.getProperties();
                        String url = (String) ma.get("url");
                   ////this is the video url 
    
                    }
    
                    @Override
                    public void onError(String s) {
    
                        Log.e("Error ", s);
                    }
                });
    

    Thanks :)
