tonihei 35691bce98 Add COMMAND_SET_MEDIA_ITEM to Player.Commands
Some Player implementations have no playlist capability but can still
set a MediaItem for playback. Examples are a MediaController connected
to a legacy MediaSession, ExoPlayer up to 2.12 or MediaPlayer.

To indicate this capability, we need an allowed command in addition
to COMMAND_CHANGE_MEDIA_ITEMS that just allows to set a single item
that replaces everything that is currently played.

Cast module

This module provides a Player implementation that controls a Cast receiver app.

Getting the module

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

implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-cast: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

Create a CastPlayer and use it to control a Cast receiver app. Since CastPlayer implements the Player interface, it can be passed to all media components that accept a Player, including the UI components provided by the UI module.
