public final class MediaFormat
extends [Object](/reference/java/lang/Object) ``

Encapsulates the information describing the format of media data, be it audio or video, as well as optional feature metadata.

The format of the media data is specified as key/value pairs. Keys are strings. Values can be integer, long, float, String or ByteBuffer.

The feature metadata is specified as string/boolean pairs.

Keys common to all audio/video formats, all keys not marked optional are mandatory:

KEY_MIME String The type of the format.
KEY_CODECS_STRING String optional, the RFC 6381 codecs string of the MediaFormat
KEY_MAX_INPUT_SIZE Integer optional, maximum size of a buffer of input data
KEY_PIXEL_ASPECT_RATIO_WIDTH Integer optional, the pixel aspect ratio width
KEY_PIXEL_ASPECT_RATIO_HEIGHT Integer optional, the pixel aspect ratio height
KEY_BIT_RATE Integer encoder-only, desired bitrate in bits/second
KEY_DURATION long the duration of the content (in microseconds)

Video formats have the following keys:

Name Value Type Description
KEY_WIDTH Integer
KEY_HEIGHT Integer
KEY_COLOR_FORMAT Integer set by the user for encoders, readable in the output format of decoders
KEY_FRAME_RATE Integer or Float required for encoders, optional for decoders
KEY_CAPTURE_RATE Integer
KEY_I_FRAME_INTERVAL Integer (or Float) encoder-only, time-interval between key frames. Float support added in Build.VERSION_CODES.N_MR1

Specify both [KEY_MAX_WIDTH](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FMAX%5FWIDTH) and [KEY_MAX_HEIGHT](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FMAX%5FHEIGHT) to enable adaptive playback (seamless resolution change) for a video decoder that supports it ([MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities.FEATURE_AdaptivePlayback](/reference/android/media/MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities#FEATURE%5FAdaptivePlayback)). The values are used as hints for the codec: they are the maximum expected resolution to prepare for. Depending on codec support, preparing for larger maximum resolution may require more memory even if that resolution is never reached. These fields have no effect for codecs that do not support adaptive playback.

KEY_AAC_DRC_ALBUM_MODE

public static final String KEY_AAC_DRC_ALBUM_MODE

A key describing the album mode for MPEG-D DRC as defined in ISO/IEC 23003-4.

The associated value is an integer and can be set to following values:

Value Album Mode
0 disabled
1 enabled

Disabled album mode leads to application of gain sequences for fading in and out, if provided in the bitstream. Enabled album mode makes use of dedicated album loudness information, if provided in the bitstream.

The default value is 0 (album mode disabled).

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-drc-album-mode"

KEY_AAC_DRC_ATTENUATION_FACTOR

public static final String KEY_AAC_DRC_ATTENUATION_FACTOR

A key describing the attenuation factor allowing to adapt the dynamics of the output to the actual listening requirements. See [KEY_AAC_DRC_BOOST_FACTOR](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FAAC%5FDRC%5FBOOST%5FFACTOR) for a description of the role of this attenuation factor and the value range.

The default value is 127 (fully apply attenuation DRC gains).

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-drc-cut-level"

KEY_AAC_DRC_BOOST_FACTOR

public static final String KEY_AAC_DRC_BOOST_FACTOR

A key describing the boost factor allowing to adapt the dynamics of the output to the actual listening requirements. This relies on DRC gain sequences that can be transmitted in the encoded bitstream to be able to reduce the dynamics of the output signal upon request. This factor enables the user to select how much of the gains are applied.

Positive gains (boost) and negative gains (attenuation, see[KEY_AAC_DRC_ATTENUATION_FACTOR](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FAAC%5FDRC%5FATTENUATION%5FFACTOR)) can be controlled separately for a better match to different use-cases.

Typically, attenuation gains are sent for loud signal segments, and boost gains are sent for soft signal segments. If the output is listened to in a noisy environment, for example, the boost factor is used to enable the positive gains, i.e. to amplify soft signal segments beyond the noise floor. But for listening late at night, the attenuation factor is used to enable the negative gains, to prevent loud signal from surprising the listener. In applications which generally need a low dynamic range, both the boost factor and the attenuation factor are used in order to enable all DRC gains.

In order to prevent clipping, it is also recommended to apply the attenuation gains in case of a downmix and/or loudness normalization to high target reference levels.

Both the boost and the attenuation factor parameters are given as integer values between 0 and 127, representing the range of the factor of 0 (i.e. don't apply) to 1 (i.e. fully apply boost/attenuation gains respectively).

The default value is 127 (fully apply boost DRC gains).

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-drc-boost-level"

KEY_AAC_DRC_EFFECT_TYPE

public static final String KEY_AAC_DRC_EFFECT_TYPE

A key describing for selecting the DRC effect type for MPEG-D DRC. The supported values are defined in ISO/IEC 23003-4:2015 and are described as follows:

Value Effect
-1 Off
0 None
1 Late night
2 Noisy environment
3 Limited playback range
4 Low playback level
5 Dialog enhancement
6 General compression

The value -1 (Off) disables DRC processing, while loudness normalization may still be active and dependent on [KEY_AAC_DRC_TARGET_REFERENCE_LEVEL](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FAAC%5FDRC%5FTARGET%5FREFERENCE%5FLEVEL).
The value 0 (None) automatically enables DRC processing if necessary to prevent signal clipping
The value 6 (General compression) can be used for enabling MPEG-D DRC without particular DRC effect type request.
The default DRC effect type is 3 ("Limited playback range") on mobile devices.

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-drc-effect-type"

KEY_AAC_DRC_HEAVY_COMPRESSION

public static final String KEY_AAC_DRC_HEAVY_COMPRESSION

A key describing the selection of the heavy compression profile for MPEG-4 DRC.

Two separate DRC gain sequences can be transmitted in one bitstream: light compression and heavy compression. When selecting the application of the heavy compression, one of the sequences is selected:

Note that heavy compression doesn't offer the features of scaling of DRC gains (see [KEY_AAC_DRC_BOOST_FACTOR](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FAAC%5FDRC%5FBOOST%5FFACTOR) and [KEY_AAC_DRC_ATTENUATION_FACTOR](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FAAC%5FDRC%5FATTENUATION%5FFACTOR) for the boost and attenuation factors), and frequency-selective (multiband) DRC. Light compression usually contains clipping prevention for stereo downmixing while heavy compression, if additionally provided in the bitstream, is usually stronger, and contains clipping prevention for stereo and mono downmixing.

The default is 1 (heavy compression).

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-drc-heavy-compression"

KEY_AAC_DRC_OUTPUT_LOUDNESS

public static final String KEY_AAC_DRC_OUTPUT_LOUDNESS

A key to retrieve the output loudness of a decoded bitstream.

If loudness normalization is active, the value corresponds to the Target Reference Level (see [KEY_AAC_DRC_TARGET_REFERENCE_LEVEL](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FAAC%5FDRC%5FTARGET%5FREFERENCE%5FLEVEL)).
If loudness normalization is not active, the value corresponds to the loudness metadata given in the bitstream.

The value is retrieved with getInteger() and is given as an integer value between 0 and 231. It is calculated as -4 * Output Loudness in LKFS. Therefore, it represents the range of 0 to -57.75 LKFS.

A value of -1 indicates that no loudness metadata is present in the bitstream.

Loudness metadata can originate from MPEG-4 DRC or MPEG-D DRC.

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-drc-output-loudness"

KEY_AAC_DRC_TARGET_REFERENCE_LEVEL

public static final String KEY_AAC_DRC_TARGET_REFERENCE_LEVEL

A key describing the Target Reference Level (Target Loudness).

For normalizing loudness across program items, a gain is applied to the audio output so that the output loudness matches the Target Reference Level. The gain is derived as the difference between the Target Reference Level and the Program Reference Level (Program Loudness). The latter can be given in the bitstream and indicates the actual loudness value of the program item.

The Target Reference Level controls loudness normalization for both MPEG-4 DRC and MPEG-D DRC.

The value is given as an integer value between 40 and 127, and is calculated as -4 * Target Reference Level in LKFS. Therefore, it represents the range of -10 to -31.75 LKFS.

For MPEG-4 DRC, a value of -1 switches off loudness normalization and DRC processing.

For MPEG-D DRC, a value of -1 switches off loudness normalization only. For DRC processing options of MPEG-D DRC, see [KEY_AAC_DRC_EFFECT_TYPE](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FAAC%5FDRC%5FEFFECT%5FTYPE)

The default value on mobile devices is 64 (-16 LKFS).

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-target-ref-level"

KEY_AAC_ENCODED_TARGET_LEVEL

public static final String KEY_AAC_ENCODED_TARGET_LEVEL

A key describing the target reference level that was assumed at the encoder for calculation of attenuation gains for clipping prevention.

If it is known, this information can be provided as an integer value between 0 and 127, which is calculated as -4 * Encoded Target Level in LKFS. If the Encoded Target Level is unknown, the value can be set to -1.

The default value is -1 (unknown).

The value is ignored when heavy compression (see [KEY_AAC_DRC_HEAVY_COMPRESSION](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FAAC%5FDRC%5FHEAVY%5FCOMPRESSION)) or MPEG-D DRC is used.

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "aac-encoded-target-level"

KEY_AAC_MAX_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_COUNT

public static final String KEY_AAC_MAX_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_COUNT

A key describing the maximum number of channels that can be output by the AAC decoder. By default, the decoder will output the same number of channels as present in the encoded stream, if supported. Set this value to limit the number of output channels, and use the downmix information in the stream, if available.

Values larger than the number of channels in the content to decode behave just like the actual channel count of the content (e.g. passing 99 for the decoding of 5.1 content will behave like using 6).

Constant Value: "caption-service-number"

KEY_CAPTURE_RATE

public static final String KEY_CAPTURE_RATE

A key describing the capture rate of a video format in frames/sec.

When capture rate is different than the frame rate, it means that the video is acquired at a different rate than the playback, which produces slow motion or timelapse effect during playback.

An optional key describing the opto-electronic transfer function requested for the output video content. The associated value is an integer: 0 if unspecified, or one of the COLOR_TRANSFER_ values. When unspecified the component will not touch the video content; otherwise the component will tone-map the raw video frame to match the requested transfer function. After configure, component's input format will contain this key to note whether the request is supported or not. If the value in the input format is the same as the requested value, the request is supported. The value is set to 0 if unsupported.

Constant Value: "color-transfer-request"

KEY_COMPLEXITY

public static final String KEY_COMPLEXITY

If specified when configuring a video encoder that's in "surface-input" mode, it will instruct the encoder to put the surface source in suspended state when it's connected. No video frames will be accepted until a resume operation (see [MediaCodec.PARAMETER_KEY_SUSPEND](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#PARAMETER%5FKEY%5FSUSPEND)), optionally with timestamp specified via [MediaCodec.PARAMETER_KEY_SUSPEND_TIME](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#PARAMETER%5FKEY%5FSUSPEND%5FTIME), is received. The value is an integer, with 1 indicating to create with the surface source suspended, or 0 otherwise. The default value is 0. If this key is not set or set to 0, the surface source will accept buffers as soon as it's connected to the encoder (although they may not be encoded immediately). This key can be used when the client wants to prepare the encoder session in advance, but do not want to accept buffers immediately.

Constant Value: "create-input-buffers-suspended"

KEY_CROP_BOTTOM

public static final String KEY_CROP_BOTTOM

A key describing the bottom-coordinate (y) of the crop rectangle. This is the bottom-most row included in the crop frame, where row indices start at 0. Additional information on the crop rectangle semantics can be found at[MediaCodec](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec).

Constant Value: "flac-compression-level"

KEY_FRAME_RATE

public static final String KEY_FRAME_RATE

A key describing the frame rate of a video format in frames/sec.

The associated value is normally an integer when the value is used by the platform, but video codecs also accept float configuration values. Specifically, [MediaExtractor](/reference/android/media/MediaExtractor#getTrackFormat%28int%29) provides an integer value corresponding to the frame rate information of the track if specified and non-zero. Otherwise, this key is not present. [MediaCodec](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#configure%28android.media.MediaFormat,%20android.view.Surface,%20android.media.MediaCrypto,%20int%29) accepts both float and integer values.

This represents the desired operating frame rate if the[KEY_OPERATING_RATE](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FOPERATING%5FRATE) is not present and [KEY_PRIORITY](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FPRIORITY) is 0 (realtime). Otherwise, this is just informational.

For video encoders this value corresponds to the intended frame rate (the rate at which the application intends to send frames to the encoder, as calculated by the buffer timestamps, and not from the actual real-time rate that the frames are sent to the encoder). Encoders use this hint for rate control, specifically for the initial frames, as encoders are expected to support variable frame rate (for rate control) based on the actual [buffer timestamps](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec.BufferInfo#presentationTimeUs) of subsequent frames.

This key is not used in the MediaCodec [input](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#getInputFormat%28%29)/[output](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#getOutputFormat%28%29) formats, nor by [MediaMuxer](/reference/android/media/MediaMuxer#addTrack%28android.media.MediaFormat%29).

Constant Value: "frame-rate"

This buffer contains the raw contents of the Static Metadata Descriptor (including the descriptor ID) of an HDMI Dynamic Range and Mastering InfoFrame as defined by CTA-861.3. This key must be provided to video decoders for HDR video content unless this information is contained in the bitstream and the video decoder supports an HDR-capable profile. This key must be provided to video encoders for HDR video content.

Constant Value: "hdr-static-info"

KEY_HEIGHT

public static final String KEY_HEIGHT

A key describing the height of the content in a video format. The associated value is an integer

Constant Value: "height"

KEY_IMPORTANCE

public static final String KEY_IMPORTANCE

A key describing the desired codec importance for the application.

The associated value is a positive integer including zero. Higher value means lesser importance.

The resource manager may use the codec importance, along with other factors when reclaiming codecs from an application. The specifics of reclaim policy is device dependent, but specifying the codec importance, will allow the resource manager to prioritize reclaiming less important codecs (assigned higher values) from the (reclaim) requesting application first. So, the codec importance is only relevant within the context of that application.

The codec importance can be set:

Any change/update in codec importance is guaranteed upon the completion of the function call that sets the codec importance. So, in case of concurrent codec operations, make sure to wait for the change in codec importance, before using another codec. Note that unless specified, by default the codecs will have highest importance (of value 0).

Constant Value: "importance"

KEY_INTRA_REFRESH_PERIOD

public static final String KEY_INTRA_REFRESH_PERIOD

An optional key describing the period of intra refresh in frames. This is an optional parameter that applies only to video encoders. If encoder supports it ([MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities.FEATURE_IntraRefresh](/reference/android/media/MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities#FEATURE%5FIntraRefresh)), the whole frame is completely refreshed after the specified period. Also for each frame, a fix subset of macroblocks must be intra coded which leads to more constant bitrate than inserting a key frame. This key is recommended for video streaming applications as it provides low-delay and good error-resilience. This key is ignored if the video encoder does not support the intra refresh feature. Use the output format to verify that this feature was enabled. The associated value is an integer.

Constant Value: "intra-refresh-period"

KEY_IS_ADTS

public static final String KEY_IS_ADTS

A key mapping to a value of 1 if the content is AAC audio and audio frames are prefixed with an ADTS header. The associated value is an integer (0 or 1). This key is only supported when _decoding_ content, it cannot be used to configure an encoder to emit ADTS output.

Constant Value: "is-adts"

KEY_IS_AUTOSELECT

public static final String KEY_IS_AUTOSELECT

A key for boolean AUTOSELECT behavior for the track. Tracks with AUTOSELECT=true are considered when automatically selecting a track without specific user choice, based on the current locale. This is currently only used for subtitle tracks, when the user selected 'Default' for the captioning locale. The associated value is an integer, where non-0 means TRUE. This is an optional field; if not specified, AUTOSELECT defaults to TRUE.

Constant Value: "is-autoselect"

KEY_IS_DEFAULT

public static final String KEY_IS_DEFAULT

A key for boolean DEFAULT behavior for the track. The track with DEFAULT=true is selected in the absence of a specific user choice. This is currently used in two scenarios: 1) for subtitle tracks, when the user selected 'Default' for the captioning locale. 2) for a [MIMETYPE_IMAGE_ANDROID_HEIC](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#MIMETYPE%5FIMAGE%5FANDROID%5FHEIC) / [MIMETYPE_IMAGE_AVIF](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#MIMETYPE%5FIMAGE%5FAVIF) track, indicating the image is the primary item in the file. The associated value is an integer, where non-0 means TRUE. This is an optional field; if not specified, DEFAULT is considered to be FALSE.

Constant Value: "is-default"

KEY_IS_FORCED_SUBTITLE

public static final String KEY_IS_FORCED_SUBTITLE

A key for the FORCED field for subtitle tracks. True if it is a forced subtitle track. Forced subtitle tracks are essential for the content and are shown even when the user turns off Captions. They are used for example to translate foreign/alien dialogs or signs. The associated value is an integer, where non-0 means TRUE. This is an optional field; if not specified, FORCED defaults to FALSE.

Constant Value: "is-forced-subtitle"

KEY_I_FRAME_INTERVAL

public static final String KEY_I_FRAME_INTERVAL

A key describing the frequency of key frames expressed in seconds between key frames.

This key is used by video encoders. A negative value means no key frames are requested after the first frame. A zero value means a stream containing all key frames is requested.

Most video encoders will convert this value of the number of non-key-frames between key-frames, using the frame rate information; therefore, if the actual frame rate differs (e.g. input frames are dropped or the frame rate changes), the time interval between key frames will not be the configured value.

The associated value is an integer (or float since[Build.VERSION_CODES.N_MR1](/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION%5FCODES#N%5FMR1)).

Constant Value: "i-frame-interval"

KEY_LANGUAGE

Constant Value: "language"

KEY_LATENCY

public static final String KEY_LATENCY

An optional key describing the desired encoder latency in frames. This is an optional parameter that applies only to video encoders. If encoder supports it, it should output at least one output frame after being queued the specified number of frames. This key is ignored if the video encoder does not support the latency feature. Use the output format to verify that this feature was enabled and the actual value used by the encoder.

If the key is not specified, the default latency will be implementation specific. The associated value is an integer.

Constant Value: "latency"

KEY_LEVEL

public static final String KEY_LEVEL

A key describing the desired profile to be used by an encoder.

The associated value is an integer. Constants are declared in [MediaCodecInfo.CodecProfileLevel](/reference/android/media/MediaCodecInfo.CodecProfileLevel). This key is used as a further hint when specifying a desired profile, and is only supported for codecs that specify a level.

This key is ignored if the [profile](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FPROFILE) is not specified. Otherwise, the value should be a level compatible with the configured encoding parameters.

Note: This key cannot be used to constrain the encoder's output to a maximum encoding level. Encoders are free to target a different level if the configured encoding parameters dictate it. Nevertheless, encoders shall use (and encode) a level sufficient to decode the generated bitstream, though they may exceed the (Video) Buffering Verifier limits for that encoded level.

Constant Value: "level"

KEY_LOW_LATENCY

public static final String KEY_LOW_LATENCY

An optional key describing the low latency decoding mode. This is an optional parameter that applies only to decoders. If enabled, the decoder doesn't hold input and output data more than required by the codec standards. The associated value is an integer (0 or 1): 1 when low-latency decoding is enabled, 0 otherwise. The default value is 0.

Constant Value: "low-latency"

KEY_MAX_B_FRAMES

public static final String KEY_MAX_B_FRAMES

A key describing the maximum number of B frames between I or P frames, to be used by a video encoder. The associated value is an integer. The default value is 0, which means that no B frames are allowed. Note that non-zero value does not guarantee B frames; it's up to the encoder to decide.

Constant Value: "max-bframes"

KEY_MAX_FPS_TO_ENCODER

public static final String KEY_MAX_FPS_TO_ENCODER

Instruct the video encoder in "surface-input" mode to drop excessive frames from the source, so that the input frame rate to the encoder does not exceed the specified fps. The associated value is a float, representing the max frame rate to feed the encoder at.

Constant Value: "max-fps-to-encoder"

Constant Value: "max-height"

KEY_MAX_INPUT_SIZE

public static final String KEY_MAX_INPUT_SIZE

A key describing the maximum size in bytes of a buffer of data described by this MediaFormat. The associated value is an integer

Constant Value: "max-input-size"

KEY_MAX_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_COUNT

public static final String KEY_MAX_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_COUNT

A key describing the maximum number of channels that can be output by an audio decoder. By default, the decoder will output the same number of channels as present in the encoded stream, if supported. Set this value to limit the number of output channels, and use the downmix information in the stream, if available.

Values larger than the number of channels in the content to decode behave like the number of channels in the content (if applicable), for instance passing 99 for a 5.1 audio stream behaves like passing 6.

This key is only used during decoding.

Constant Value: "max-output-channel-count"

KEY_MAX_PTS_GAP_TO_ENCODER

public static final String KEY_MAX_PTS_GAP_TO_ENCODER

Instruct the video encoder in "surface-input" mode to limit the gap of timestamp between any two adjacent frames fed to the encoder to the specified amount (in micro-second). The associated value is a long int. When positive, it represents the max timestamp gap between two adjacent frames fed to the encoder. When negative, the absolute value represents a fixed timestamp gap between any two adjacent frames fed to the encoder. Note that this will also apply even when the original timestamp goes backward in time. Under normal conditions, such frames would be dropped and not sent to the encoder. The output timestamp will be restored to the original timestamp and will not be affected. This is used in some special scenarios where input frames arrive sparingly but it's undesirable to allocate more bits to any single frame, or when it's important to ensure all frames are captured (rather than captured in the correct order).

Constant Value: "max-pts-gap-to-encoder"

KEY_MAX_WIDTH

public static final String KEY_MAX_WIDTH

A key describing the maximum expected width of the content in a video decoder format, in case there are resolution changes in the video content. The associated value is an integer

A key describing the desired operating frame rate for video or sample rate for audio that the codec will need to operate at.

The associated value is an integer or a float representing frames-per-second or samples-per-second

This is used for cases like high-speed/slow-motion video capture, where the video encoder format contains the target playback rate (e.g. 30fps), but the component must be able to handle the high operating capture rate (e.g. 240fps).

This rate will be used by codec for resource planning and setting the operating points.

Constant Value: "operating-rate"

KEY_OUTPUT_REORDER_DEPTH

public static final String KEY_OUTPUT_REORDER_DEPTH

An optional key describing the maximum number of non-display-order coded frames. This is an optional parameter that applies only to video encoders. Application should check the value for this key in the output format to see if codec will produce non-display-order coded frames. If encoder supports it, the output frames' order will be different from the display order and each frame's display order could be retrived from[MediaCodec.BufferInfo.presentationTimeUs](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec.BufferInfo#presentationTimeUs). Before API level 27, application may receive non-display-order coded frames even though the application did not request it. Note: Application should not rearrange the frames to display order before feeding them to [MediaMuxer.writeSampleData](/reference/android/media/MediaMuxer#writeSampleData%28int,%20java.nio.ByteBuffer,%20android.media.MediaCodec.BufferInfo%29).

The default value is 0.

Constant Value: "output-reorder-depth"

KEY_PCM_ENCODING

public static final String KEY_PCM_ENCODING

A key describing the raw audio sample encoding/format.

The associated value is an integer, using one of the[AudioFormat](/reference/android/media/AudioFormat).ENCODING_PCM_ values.

This is an optional key for audio decoders and encoders specifying the desired raw audio sample format during [MediaCodec.configure(…)](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#configure%28android.media.MediaFormat,%20android.view.Surface,%20android.media.MediaCrypto,%20int%29) call. Use [MediaCodec.getInput](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#getInputFormat%28%29)/[OutputFormat(…)](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#getOutputFormat%28%29) to confirm the actual format. For the PCM decoder this key specifies both input and output sample encodings.

This key is also used by [MediaExtractor](/reference/android/media/MediaExtractor) to specify the sample format of audio data, if it is specified.

If this key is missing, the raw audio sample format is signed 16-bit short.

Constant Value: "pcm-encoding"

KEY_PICTURE_PROFILE_INSTANCE

public static final String KEY_PICTURE_PROFILE_INSTANCE

A key describing the picture profile instance to be applied to [MediaCodec](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec).

The value is an integer, with 1 indicating to prepend headers to every sync frames, or 0 otherwise. The default value is 0.

Constant Value: "prepend-sps-pps-to-idr-frames"

KEY_PRIORITY

public static final String KEY_PRIORITY

A key describing the desired codec priority.

The associated value is an integer. Higher value means lower priority.

Currently, only two levels are supported:
0: realtime priority - meaning that the codec shall support the given performance configuration (e.g. framerate) at realtime. This should only be used by media playback, capture, and possibly by realtime communication scenarios if best effort performance is not suitable.
1: non-realtime priority (best effort).

This is a hint used at codec configuration and resource planning - to understand the realtime requirements of the application; however, due to the nature of media components, performance is not guaranteed.

Constant Value: "priority"

KEY_PROFILE

public static final String KEY_PROFILE

A key describing the desired profile to be used by an encoder.

The associated value is an integer. Constants are declared in [MediaCodecInfo.CodecProfileLevel](/reference/android/media/MediaCodecInfo.CodecProfileLevel). This key is used as a hint, and is only supported for codecs that specify a profile. When configuring profile, encoder configuration may fail if other parameters are not compatible with the desired profile or if the desired profile is not supported, but it may also fail silently (where the encoder ends up using a different, compatible profile.)

It is recommended that the profile is set for all encoders. For more information, see the Encoder Profiles section of the [MediaCodec](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec) API reference.

Note: Codecs are free to use all the available coding tools at the specified profile, but may ultimately choose to not do so.

Note: When configuring video encoders, profile (if set) must be set together with [level](/reference/android/media/MediaFormat#KEY%5FLEVEL).

Constant Value: "profile"

KEY_PUSH_BLANK_BUFFERS_ON_STOP

public static final String KEY_PUSH_BLANK_BUFFERS_ON_STOP

Constant Value: "push-blank-buffers-on-shutdown"

KEY_QUALITY

public static final String KEY_QUALITY

Constant Value: "sample-rate"

KEY_SLICE_HEIGHT

public static final String KEY_SLICE_HEIGHT

A key describing the plane height of a multi-planar (YUV) video bytebuffer layout. Slice height (or plane height/vertical stride) is the number of rows that must be skipped to get from the top of the Y plane to the top of the U plane in the bytebuffer. In essence the offset of the U plane is sliceHeight * stride. The height of the U/V planes can be calculated based on the color format, though it is generally undefined and depends on the device and release. The associated value is an integer, representing number of rows.

Constant Value: "slice-height"

KEY_SLOW_MOTION_MARKERS

public static final String KEY_SLOW_MOTION_MARKERS

A key for retrieving the slow-motion marker information associated with a video track.

The associated value is a ByteBuffer in [ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN](/reference/java/nio/ByteOrder#BIG%5FENDIAN) (networking order) of the following format:

 float(32) playbackRate;
 unsigned int(32) numMarkers;
 for (i = 0;i < numMarkers; i++) {
     int(64) timestampUs;
     float(32) speedRatio;
 }

The meaning of each field is as follows:

playbackRate The frame rate at which the playback should happen (or the flattened clip should be).
numMarkers The number of slow-motion markers that follows.
timestampUs The starting point of a new segment.
speedRatio The playback speed for that segment. The playback speed is a floating point number, indicating how fast the time progresses relative to that written in the container. (Eg. 4.0 means time goes 4x as fast, which makes 30fps become 120fps.)

The following constraints apply to the timestampUs of the markers:

Constant Value: "slow-motion-markers"

KEY_STRIDE

public static final String KEY_STRIDE

A key describing the stride of the video bytebuffer layout. Stride (or row increment) is the difference between the index of a pixel and that of the pixel directly underneath. For YUV 420 formats, the stride corresponds to the Y plane; the stride of the U and V planes can be calculated based on the color format, though it is generally undefined and depends on the device and release. The associated value is an integer, representing number of bytes.

Constant Value: "stride"

KEY_TEMPORAL_LAYERING

public static final String KEY_TEMPORAL_LAYERING

A key describing the temporal layering schema. This is an optional parameter that applies only to video encoders. Use [MediaCodec.getOutputFormat](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#getOutputFormat%28%29) after [configure](/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#configure%28android.media.MediaFormat,%20android.view.Surface,%20android.media.MediaCrypto,%20int%29) to query if the encoder supports the desired schema. Supported values are webrtc.vp8.N-layer,android.generic.N, android.generic.N+M and none, whereN denotes the total number of non-bidirectional layers (which must be at least 1) and M denotes the total number of bidirectional layers (which must be non-negative).

android.generic.* schemas have been added in [Build.VERSION_CODES.N_MR1](/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION%5FCODES#N%5FMR1).

The encoder may support fewer temporal layers, in which case the output format will contain the configured schema. If the encoder does not support temporal layering, the output format will not have an entry with this key. The associated value is a string.

Constant Value: "ts-schema"

KEY_TRACK_ID

public static final String KEY_TRACK_ID

A key describing a unique ID for the content of a media track.

This key is used by [MediaExtractor](/reference/android/media/MediaExtractor). Some extractors provide multiple encodings of the same track (e.g. float audio tracks for FLAC and WAV may be expressed as two tracks via MediaExtractor: a normal PCM track for backward compatibility, and a float PCM track for added fidelity. Similarly, Dolby Vision extractor may provide a baseline SDR version of a DV track.) This key can be used to identify which MediaExtractor tracks refer to the same underlying content.

The associated value is an integer.

Constant Value: "track-id"

IllegalArgumentException if the feature was neither set to be enabled nor to be disabled.

getFeatures

public Set<String> getFeatures ()

Returns a [Set](/reference/java/util/Set) view of the features contained in this MediaFormat. The set is backed by the MediaFormat object, so changes to the format are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the format is modified while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own remove operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the format, via the Iterator.remove, Set.remove, removeAll, retainAll, and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.

Returns
Set<String> This value cannot be null.

getFloat

Throws
NullPointerException if the key does not exist or the stored value for the key is null
ClassCastException if the stored value for the key is int, long, ByteBuffer or String

getInteger

public int getInteger (String name)

Returns the value of an integer key.

Parameters

Throws
ClassCastException if the stored value for the key is long, float, ByteBuffer or String

getKeys

public Set<String> getKeys ()

Returns a [Set](/reference/java/util/Set) view of the keys contained in this MediaFormat. The set is backed by the MediaFormat object, so changes to the format are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the format is modified while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own remove operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the format, via the Iterator.remove, Set.remove, removeAll, retainAll, and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.
