Is it possible to convert TS files to MP3 using Exoplayer ?

[satyres]

Hi
i've been looking for a solution to play local TS files but it seems not possible.
is there a way to convert an Audio TS file to MP3 using Exoplayer or any external library ?

• ExoPlayer doesn't support transcoding from one format to another.
• ExoPlayer does support playback of TS files, although it's also necessary for the contained sample formats to be supported. Please see the supported formats page for more information.

You need to use ProgressiveMediaSource to play a TS stream, not HlsMediaSource. Please note that you can simply add your TS stream to the demo app as per these instructions, and then take a look at the code to see how it's done.

Excellent i' ve been able to play it using the 2.9.6 using ExtractorMediaSource
and it's working but i cannot jump from time to time and the total play time showing 00:00
but it's working fine
do i need to upgrade to 2.10.2 ?
Any way thanks so much.

You should try 2.10.2. If it's still not working, you should track #5097 for further improvements.
