Is it possible to play images?

[mrblrrd]

I'm trying to show .jpeg images for 5 seconds, but they are just skipped when playing. Is it correct to use SingleSampleMediaSource for that purpose? How to do it right?

void setPlaylist(List<Track> playlist) {
    MediaSource[] mediaSources = tracksToMediaSources(playlist);
    MediaSource mediaSource = (mediaSources.length == 1)
            ? mediaSources[0]
            : new ConcatenatingMediaSource(mediaSources);
    player.prepare(mediaSource);
    player.setVideoTextureView(textureView);
}

private MediaSource[] tracksToMediaSources(List<Track> playlist) {
    int playlistSize = playlist.size();
    MediaSource[] mediaSources = new MediaSource[playlistSize];
    for (int i = 0; i < playlistSize; ++i) {
        Track track = playlist.get(i);
        Uri trackUri = Uri.parse(track.getUrl());
        switch (track.getType()) {
            case VIDEO:
                mediaSources[i] = new ExtractorMediaSource(trackUri, provideDataSourceFactory(), provideExtractorsFactory(), null, null);
                break;
            case IMAGE:
//--???-->      mediaSources[i] = new SingleSampleMediaSource(trackUri, provideDataSourceFactory(), Format.createImageSampleFormat(null, "image/jpeg", null, Format.NO_VALUE, null, null, null), 5000);
                break;
        }
    }
    return mediaSources;
}

We do not provide any built in support for playback of images. You could potentially write your own custom renderer (e.g. ImageRenderer extends BaseRenderer) to provide direct support within the player, or just manage displaying of images yourself outside of the player.
