Interface MediaProxy

All Superinterfaces:

MediaHandler

public interface MediaProxy
extends MediaHandler

MediaProxy is a MediaHandler which processes content from one DataSource, to produce another DataSource.

Typically, a MediaProxy reads a text configuration file that contains all of the information needed to make a connection to a server and obtain media data. To produce a Player from a MediaLocator referencing the configuration file, Manger:

• constructs a DataSource for the protocol described by the MediaLocator
• constructs a MediaProxy to read the configuration file using the content-type of the DataSource
• obtains a new DataSource from the MediaProxy
• constructs the Player using the content-type of the new DataSource
