ToiMediaSession

Class Summary

Extends:
  • ToiEventTarget
See also:
  • ToiMediaService
  • ToiMediaPlayer

Each media player generates a media session which can be accessed by any application through the ToiMediaService#openSession function. This allows other applications than the actual owner to get stream information, extract stream data, etc.

Sessions are created for calls to ToiMediaPlayer#open .
