On March 15, 2018, we are stopping development and support for Google Media
Framework (GMF) for Android in favor of the new ExoPlayer
IMA extension . GMF's technology and approach are based on an older version
of ExoPlayer.
The new v2 version of ExoPlayer and the ExoPlayer IMA Extension make basic
integration simple enough that a layer between ExoPlayer and the IMA SDK is no
longer necessary. The new approach is cleaner, requires less code, and uses the
most up-to-date version of ExoPlayer.
Support for GMF for Android will end on March 15, 2018, after which we will no
longer respond to issues or make any further releases of GMF for Android. The
repository will also be shut down at this time. If you want to access the code,
you can clone the repository before the March 15, 2018 shutdown date.
Note: We are NOT deprecating GMF for
iOS .
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via the IMA
SDK developer forum .
