cordova-plugin-multi-player

This plugin provides an implementation of an Android service library which uses Google's ExoPlayer. Ready to use Streaming Player Service. (Background Player Service). This plugin has part of its code base on cordova-plugin-exoplayer, with a focus on audio streaming and keeping the audio active on background.

Supported Platforms

• Android
• Browser (new)
• iOS

Installation

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-multi-player

Optional dependency

It's recommended to use the plugin cordova-plugin-music-controls2, since instead of creating a generic notification, to inform the user that there is a service in background, it uses the music controls plugin notification to do so.

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-music-controls2
