Play uploaded videos

Learn how to play FastPix videos and direct URLs using the FastPix Android Player SDK.

Play a FastPix video with a playback ID

Use setFastPixMediaItem when you have a playbackId from the FastPix dashboard. The SDK resolves the playback URL automatically (https://stream.fastpix.com/{playbackId}.m3u8).

1 private fun startPlayback() {
2     player?.setFastPixMediaItem {
3         playbackId = "YOUR_PLAYBACK_ID" // required
4     }
5 }

Note: StreamType is included in the builder for API compatibility but is not yet applied to the resolved URL in this SDK version.

Play a direct URL

Use setMediaItem when you already have a playback URL (HLS .m3u8, DASH, progressive MP4, or other supported format):

1 player?.setMediaItem(MediaItem.fromUri("https://example.com/video.m3u8"))

Start playback in your Activity

Call the playback setup method from onStart to begin streaming:

1 override fun onStart() {
2     super.onStart()
3     startPlayback()
4 }
5 
6 private fun startPlayback() {
7     playbackListener = object : PlaybackListener {
8         override fun onPlay() {}
9         override fun onPause() {}
10         override fun onPlaybackStateChanged(isPlaying: Boolean) {}
11         override fun onError(error: PlaybackException) {}
12     }
13     player?.addPlaybackListener(playbackListener)
14 
15     player?.setFastPixMediaItem {
16         playbackId = "YOUR_PLAYBACK_ID"
17     }
18 }
