Using MediaItem

To play a progressive stream, create a MediaItem with the media URI and pass it to the player.

// Create a player instance.
SimpleExoPlayer player = new SimpleExoPlayer.Builder(context).build();
// Set the media item to be played.
player.setMediaItem(MediaItem.fromUri(progressiveUri));
// Prepare the player.
player.prepare();

Using ProgressiveMediaSource

For more customization options, you can create a ProgressiveMediaSource and directly to the player instead of a MediaItem.

// Create a data source factory.
DataSource.Factory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultHttpDataSource.Factory();
// Create a progressive media source pointing to a stream uri.
MediaSource mediaSource = new ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory(dataSourceFactory)
    .createMediaSource(MediaItem.fromUri(progressiveUri));
// Create a player instance.
SimpleExoPlayer player = new SimpleExoPlayer.Builder(context).build();
// Set the media source to be played.
player.setMediaSource(mediaSource);
// Prepare the player.
player.prepare();
