无法使用 VLC for Android 设置字幕

Question

我在启动 VLC for Android 的 VideoPlayerActivity 时无法设置字幕位置。我的目标是 API 27 并使用 FileProvider 来允许访问文件。

根据文档here，如果你设置了“subtitles_location”额外，那么你可以提供字幕文件的路径。不幸的是，我似乎无法让它工作。

我看到“字幕”菜单项仍然灰显，下载字幕似乎并没有改变这种状态。点击时，“选择字幕文件”VLC 指出目录中没有字幕文件，并且 URI 以“content://”为前缀，正如预期的那样。

视频文件和字幕文件共享同一个父目录，并使用 FileProvider 提供。

当 API >= 24 时如何设置字幕文件？

更新：

• 似乎在点击字幕选择菜单项时，它使用 视频文件的父目录。 This is seen here.
• 想通了，请参阅下面的解决方案。

下面是一些关于我如何通过意图启动 VideoPlayerActivity 的代码 sn-ps。

播放视频方法：

/**

 * the VLC VideoPlayerActivity.
 *
 * @param activity         The current activity.
 * @param authority        The FileProvider authority.
 * @param vlcPackageName   The VLC package name.

 * @param videoFile        The video file to play.
 * @param subtitlesFile    The subtitles file to play.
 * @param playbackPosition The playback position.
 * @param requestCode      The activity for result request code.

public static void playVideo(
        AppCompatActivity activity,
        String authority,
        String vlcPackageName,
        String vlcActivityName,
        String vlcTitleExtra,
        String vlcPositionExtra,
        String vlcFromStartExtra,
        String vlcSubtitlesExtra,
        File videoFile,
        File subtitlesFile,
        long playbackPosition,
        int requestCode
) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

    intent.setPackage(vlcPackageName);

    // Set component to VLC video player activity.
    intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(
            vlcPackageName,
            vlcActivityName
    ));

    // Set intent permission flags.
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_PREFIX_URI_PERMISSION);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

    // Set title and playback position.
    intent.putExtra(vlcTitleExtra, videoFile.getName());
    intent.putExtra(vlcPositionExtra, playbackPosition);
    intent.putExtra(vlcFromStartExtra, false);

    // Set video file location
    intent.setDataAndTypeAndNormalize(
            FileProvider.getUriForFile(
                    activity,
                    authority,
                    videoFile
            ),
            "video/*"
    );

    // Subtitles file provided, set location on intent.
    if (subtitlesFile != null) {
        intent.putExtra(
                vlcSubtitlesExtra,
                FileProvider.getUriForFile(
                        activity,
                        authority,
                        subtitlesFile
                )
        );
    }

    activity.startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode);
}

清单中的提供者定义

   <provider
        android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
        android:authorities="com.masterwok.bitcast.fileprovider"
        android:exported="false"
        android:grantUriPermissions="true" >
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
            android:resource="@xml/paths" />
    </provider>

@xml/paths 定义：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
    <external-path
        name="Download"
        path="Download/"/>
</paths>

Answer 1

我能够通过使用未记录的“item_location”额外定义来解决这个问题：here。

这解决了目标 API >= 24 时的权限问题。发生的情况是 VideoPlayerActivity 试图读取使用 FileProvider 提供的 URI 的父目录。如果我不得不猜测，我会说 Android 不允许这样做。

通过使用额外的“item_location”传递URI，我们可以绕过这个限制。

我现在用来播放视频文件的方法如下：

/**
 * Play a video using VLC media player. This method will play media by using
 * the VLC VideoPlayerActivity.
 *
 * @param activity         The current activity.
 * @param vlcPackageName   The VLC package name.
 * @param vlcActivityName  The VLC activity name.
 * @param videoFile        The video file to play.
 * @param playbackPosition The playback position.
 * @param requestCode      The activity for result request code.

public static void playVideo(
        AppCompatActivity activity,
        String vlcPackageName,
        String vlcActivityName,
        String vlcItemLocationExtra,
        String vlcTitleExtra,
        String vlcPositionExtra,
        String vlcFromStartExtra,
        File videoFile,
        long playbackPosition,
        int requestCode
) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

    intent.setPackage(vlcPackageName);

    // Set component to VLC video player activity.
    intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(
            vlcPackageName,
            vlcActivityName
    ));

    // Set intent permission flags.
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_PREFIX_URI_PERMISSION);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

    // Set title and playback position.
    intent.putExtra(vlcTitleExtra, videoFile.getName());
    intent.putExtra(vlcPositionExtra, playbackPosition);
    intent.putExtra(vlcFromStartExtra, false);

    // Set video file location (subtitles are found by VLC by using parent directory).
    intent.putExtra(vlcItemLocationExtra, Uri.fromFile(videoFile));

    activity.startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode);
