1# ExoPlayer DASH module 2 3Provides support for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) content in 4ExoPlayer. 5 6## Getting the module 7 8The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency: 9 10```gradle 11implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-dash:2.X.X' 12``` 13 14where `2.X.X` is the version, which must match the version of the other media 15modules being used. 16 17Alternatively, you can clone this GitHub project and depend on the module 18locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the [top level README][]. 19 20[top level README]: https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/blob/release-v2/README.md 21 22## Using the module 23 24Adding a dependency to this module is all that's required to enable playback of 25DASH media items added to `ExoPlayer` in its default configuration. Internally, 26`DefaultMediaSourceFactory` will automatically detect the presence of the module 27and convert a DASH `MediaItem` into a `DashMediaSource` for playback. 28 29Similarly, a `DownloadManager` in its default configuration will use 30`DefaultDownloaderFactory`, which will automatically detect the presence of 31the module and build `DashDownloader` instances to download DASH content. 32 33For advanced playback use cases, applications can build `DashMediaSource` 34instances and pass them directly to the player. For advanced download use cases, 35`DashDownloader` can be used directly. 36 37## Links 38 39* [Developer Guide][] 40* [Javadoc][] 41 42[Developer Guide]: https://exoplayer.dev/dash.html 43[Javadoc]: https://exoplayer.dev/doc/reference/index.html 44
