bachinger d0fc83ed8a Playlist API: move media item based API to Player
This moves the playlist API methods to the Player interface. Implementation is moved from ExoPlayerImpl to BasePlayer where possible.

Further the CastPlayer is changed to implement the Player interface. Proper migration of the Playermanager to not use the ConcatenatingMediaSource anymore follows in a separate, future CL.

ExoPlayer Cast extension

Description

The cast extension is a Player implementation that controls playback on a Cast receiver app.

Getting the extension

The easiest way to use the extension is to add it as a gradle dependency:

implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:extension-cast:2.X.X'

where 2.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the ExoPlayer library being used.

Alternatively, you can clone the ExoPlayer repository and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in ExoPlayer's top level README.

Using the extension

Create a CastPlayer and use it to integrate Cast into your app using ExoPlayer's common Player interface.
