How to get the current bitrate and resolution of HLS Video?

[sachinbhanot]

Is it possible to get current bitrate and resolution of playing HLS Video ? when the bit rate is switched and fetch the current bitrate ?

As I know yoy should listen to DefaultBandwidthMeter . It is shown in
Demoplayer.java onBandwidthSample would give you bitrate information.

As I can see through , hlsRenderBuilder has defaultBandwidthMeter

1. you should get the callback how internally it propgates to DemoPlayer i don't know as Phani-nunna mentioned .
2. or onRenderers in Demoplayer has bandwidthmeter which you can use to get
   bitrateestimate a public method in DefaultBandwidthMeter

You should be listening to DemoPlayer.InfoListener.onVideoFormatEnabled. The format is passed to that method whenever the selection changes. Format.bitrate is the bitrate as declared in the master playlist. Format.width and Format.height are the dimensions as declared in the master playlist by RESOLUTION tags. Note that if RESOLUTION tags are omitted from the master playlist then these fields may be set to -1.

You can also use DemoPlayer.Listener.onVideoSizeChanged to determine when the resolution changes.

@ojw28 How about manual switch the bitrate not auto?

See #676

@ojw28 thanks for the information on how to get the indicated bitrate. How about getting the actual observed bitrate? onBandwidthSample.bitrateEstimate looks promising, but i'm unable to confirm this is what i'm looking for.
