tonihei 72c85aa483 Ensure DataSource is closed in CacheWriter at non-IOException
We currently only catch IOExceptions to close the opened data source.
This means any other type of exception leaves the data source open,
which can caused SimpleCache to be blocked forever when another
data source tries to access the same cache area (which is still
locked by the open data source).

This problem was the cause for flakiness in DownloadManagerDashTest.

ExoPlayer DASH module

Provides support for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) content in ExoPlayer.

Getting the module

The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:

implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer-dash:1.X.X'

where 1.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the other media modules being used.

Alternatively, you can clone this GitHub project and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the top level README.

Using the module

Adding a dependency to this module is all that's required to enable playback of DASH media items added to ExoPlayer in its default configuration. Internally, DefaultMediaSourceFactory will automatically detect the presence of the module and convert a DASH MediaItem into a DashMediaSource for playback.

Similarly, a DownloadManager in its default configuration will use DefaultDownloaderFactory, which will automatically detect the presence of the module and build DashDownloader instances to download DASH content.

For advanced playback use cases, applications can build DashMediaSource instances and pass them directly to the player. For advanced download use cases, DashDownloader can be used directly.
