mediasession-kt

A Kotlin Multiplatform library for emitting a system media session.

Windows implementation adapted from JavaMediaTransportControls by Selemba1000.

Setup

mediasession-kt currently supports the following Kotlin platforms:

• JVM (tested on x86_64 but may work on other architectures)
  • Linux
  • Windows
• Native
  • Linux x86_64
  • Linux ARM64
  • Windows x86_64

Gradle:

1. Add the Maven Central repository to your dependency resolution configuration

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

2. Add the following line to your dependencies (replace <version> with the desired mediasession-kt version)

implementation("dev.toastbits:mediasession:<version>")

Example usage

var time = TimeSource.Monotonic.markNow()

// Initialise the media session
val session: MediaSession =
    MediaSession.create(
        getPositionMs = { time.elapsedNow().inWholeMilliseconds }
    )!!

// Set callbacks
session.onPlay = {
    println("onPlay called")
}
session.onSeek = { by_ms: Long ->
    println("onSeek called")
}

// Set properties
session.setIdentity("mediasession.sample")
session.setPlaybackStatus(MediaSessionPlaybackStatus.PAUSED)
session.setMetadata(
    MediaSessionMetadata(
        title = "Title",
    )
)

// Enable session (asynchronous)
session.setEnabled(true)
