Elige un tipo de superficie para PlayerView
El atributo surface_type de PlayerView te permite establecer el tipo de superficie que se usa para la reproducción de video. Los valores permitidos son los siguientes:
spherical_gl_surface_view (SphericalGLSurfaceView): Para la reproducción de videos esféricos
video_decoder_gl_surface_view (VideoDecoderGLSurfaceView): Renderización de video con renderizadores de extensiones
none, que es solo para la reproducción de audio y se debe usar para evitar tener que crear una superficie, ya que esto puede ser costoso.
Si la vista es para la reproducción de video normal, se debe usar surface_view o texture_view. SurfaceView tiene varios beneficios en comparación con TextureView para la reproducción de video:
Se mejoró la sincronización de fotogramas, lo que permite una reproducción de video más fluida.
Se agregó compatibilidad con salida de video HDR de mayor calidad en dispositivos aptos.
Se agregó compatibilidad con la salida segura cuando se reproduce contenido protegido por DRM.
La capacidad de renderizar contenido de video en la resolución completa de la pantalla en dispositivos Android TV que aumentan la resolución de la capa de IU
Por lo tanto, se debe preferir SurfaceView por sobre TextureView siempre que sea posible.
TextureView solo debe usarse si SurfaceView no satisface tus necesidades. Un ejemplo es cuando se requieren animaciones o desplazamientos fluidos de la superficie de video antes de Android 7.0 (nivel de API 24), como se describe en las siguientes notas. En este caso, es preferible usar TextureView solo cuando SDK_INT es menor que 24 (Android 7.0) y SurfaceView en los demás casos.
El módulo ui-compose de Media3 proporciona un elemento PlayerSurface componible que vincula el Player a un Surface de manera optimizada para el ciclo de vida. En este caso, los tipos de superficie son los siguientes:
No hay un tipo none, ya que correspondería a no incluir el PlayerSurface en tu árbol de IU de Compose.

[null,null,["Última actualización: 2025-08-27 (UTC)"],[],[],null,["This page describes the different types of surfaces that can be used for video\nplayback with Media3, and how to choose the right type for your use case. To\nfind out more about Surface objects in Android, read this [graphics\ndocumentation](https://source.android.com/docs/core/graphics/arch-sh).\n\nChoose a surface type for PlayerView\n\nThe `surface_type` attribute of [`PlayerView`](/reference/androidx/media3/ui/PlayerView) lets you set the type of\nsurface used for video playback. The allowed values are:\n\n- `surface_view` ([`SurfaceView`](/reference/android/view/SurfaceView))\n- `texture_view` ([`TextureView`](/reference/android/view/TextureView))\n- `spherical_gl_surface_view` ([`SphericalGLSurfaceView`](/reference/androidx/media3/exoplayer/video/spherical/SphericalGLSurfaceView)) - for spherical video playback\n- `video_decoder_gl_surface_view` ([`VideoDecoderGLSurfaceView`](/reference/androidx/media3/exoplayer/video/VideoDecoderGLSurfaceView)) - video rendering using extension renderers\n- `none` - which is for audio playback only and should be used to avoid having to create a surface because doing so can be expensive.\n\nIf the view is for regular video playback then `surface_view` or `texture_view`\nshould be used. [`SurfaceView`](/reference/android/view/SurfaceView) has a number of benefits over\n[`TextureView`](/reference/android/view/TextureView) for video playback:\n\n- Significantly [lower power consumption](/media/media3/exoplayer/battery-consumption) on many devices.\n- More accurate frame timing, resulting in smoother video playback.\n- Support for higher quality HDR video output on capable devices.\n- Support for secure output when playing DRM-protected content.\n- The ability to render video content at the full resolution of the display on Android TV devices that upscale the UI layer.\n\n`SurfaceView` should therefore be preferred over `TextureView` where possible.\n`TextureView` should be used only if `SurfaceView` does not meet your needs. One\nexample is where smooth animations or scrolling of the video surface is required\nprior to Android 7.0 (API level 24), as described in the following notes. For\nthis case, it's preferable to use `TextureView` only when [`SDK_INT`](/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION#SDK_INT) is less\nthan 24 (Android 7.0) and `SurfaceView` otherwise.\n| **Note:** `SurfaceView` rendering wasn't properly synchronized with view animations until Android 7.0 (API level 24). On earlier releases, improper synchronization could result in unwanted effects when a `SurfaceView` was placed into a scrolling container, or when it was animated. Unwanted effects included the view's contents appearing to lag slightly behind where it should be displayed, and the view turning black when animated. To achieve smooth animation or scrolling of video prior to Android 7.0, use `TextureView` rather than `SurfaceView`.\n| **Note:** The lifecycle of a `SurfaceView`'s surface is tied to view visibility, whereas a `TextureView`'s surface lifecycle is tied to window attachment and detachment. Therefore, in scrolling UIs that use `SurfaceView`, starting playback can take longer because the output surface becomes available slightly later. From Android 14 onwards, `PlayerView` uses [`SurfaceView.setSurfaceLifecycle(SURFACE_LIFECYCLE_FOLLOWS_ATTACHMENT)`](/reference/android/view/SurfaceView#setSurfaceLifecycle(int)) to avoid this behavior. If your app uses `SurfaceView` directly (without `PlayerView`) then you may want to enable this mode. Before Android 14, it's possible to work around the surface being destroyed by translating views off-screen when recycling them.\n| **Note:** Some Android TV devices run their UI layer at a resolution that's lower than the full resolution of the display, upscaling it for presentation to the user. For example, the UI layer may be run at 1080p on an Android TV that has a 4K display. On such devices, `SurfaceView` must be used to render content at the full resolution of the display. The full resolution of the display (in its current display mode) can be queried using [`Util.getCurrentDisplayModeSize`](/reference/androidx/media3/common/util/Util#getCurrentDisplayModeSize(android.content.Context)). The UI layer resolution can be queried using Android's [`Display.getSize`](/reference/android/view/Display#getSize(android.graphics.Point)) API.\n| **Note:** If you are using `PlayerView` inside of `AndroidView`, we cannot guarantee compatibility because `PlayerView` was not made with Compose in mind. One of the common problems for `SDK_INT == 34` is a stretched/cropped/leaked Surface that does not match the parent container (`AspectRatioFrameLayout`) correctly. You can opt into a Compose workaround by calling `PlayerView.setEnableComposeSurfaceSyncWorkaround`, but note that it causes issues with XML-based shared transitions.\n\nChoose a surface type in Compose\n\nIn Compose, the interop solution uses the `AndroidView` Composable to wrap\n[`SurfaceView`](/reference/android/view/SurfaceView) and [`TextureView`](/reference/android/view/TextureView). The two Composables that correspond to\nthat are [`AndroidExternalSurface`](/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/foundation/package-summary#AndroidExternalSurface(androidx.compose.ui.Modifier,kotlin.Boolean,androidx.compose.ui.unit.IntSize,androidx.compose.foundation.AndroidExternalSurfaceZOrder,kotlin.Boolean,kotlin.Function1)) and [`AndroidEmbeddedExternalSurface`](/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/foundation/package-summary#AndroidEmbeddedExternalSurface(androidx.compose.ui.Modifier,kotlin.Boolean,androidx.compose.ui.unit.IntSize,androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Matrix,kotlin.Function1)).\n\nMedia3 `ui-compose` module provides a [`PlayerSurface`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/media3/ui/compose/package-summary#PlayerSurface(androidx.media3.common.Player,androidx.compose.ui.Modifier,kotlin.Int)) Composable that links\nthe [`Player`](/reference/androidx/media3/common/Player) to a `Surface` in a lifecycle-aware manner. The surface types\nin this case are:\n\n- `SURFACE_TYPE_SURFACE_VIEW` (effectively [`AndroidExternalSurface`](/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/foundation/package-summary#AndroidExternalSurface(androidx.compose.ui.Modifier,kotlin.Boolean,androidx.compose.ui.unit.IntSize,androidx.compose.foundation.AndroidExternalSurfaceZOrder,kotlin.Boolean,kotlin.Function1)))\n- `SURFACE_TYPE_TEXTURE_VIEW` (effectively [`AndroidEmbeddedExternalSurface`](/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/foundation/package-summary#AndroidEmbeddedExternalSurface(androidx.compose.ui.Modifier,kotlin.Boolean,androidx.compose.ui.unit.IntSize,androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Matrix,kotlin.Function1)))\n\nThere is no type `none`, since that would correspond to not including the\n`PlayerSurface` in your Compose UI tree."]]
