bachinger 2fa3675edb [Cast] Notify media item transition only when playing period removed
When playback transitions automatically, the timeline may have changed because the cast device learned about the duration of the next media item and includes this in the new media status that is sent to the CastPlayer. In such a case we need to make sure that we don't report a media item transition with reason PLAYLIST_CHANGED but for reason AUTO.

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.
