Notes:
- The way this works is that every time the player needs to
select some tracks it invokes the TrackSelector. When a
track selection is actually activated (i.e. "hits the
screen") it gets passed back to the TrackSelector, which
allows it to expose the current tracks through an API that
it may choose to define. Since playlist support doesn't exist
yet, it's currently the case that the pass-back always occurs
immediately.
- A TrackSelector can invalidate its previous selections if its
selection criteria changes. This will force the player to invoke
it again to make a new selection. If the new selection is the
same as the previous one for a renderer then the player handles
this efficiently (i.e. turns it into a no-op).
- DefaultTrackSelector supports disabling/enabling of renderers.
Separately, it supports overrides to select specific formats.
Since formats may change (playlists/periods), overrides are
specific to not only the renderer but also the set of formats
that are available to it. If the formats available to a renderer
change then the override will no longer apply. If the same set
of formats become available at some point later, it will apply
once more. This will nicely handle cases like ad-insertion where
the ads have different formats, but all segments of main content
use the same set of formats.
- In general, in multi-period or playlist cases, the preferred
way of selecting formats will be via constraints (e.g. "don't play
HD", "prefer higher quality audio") rather than explicit format
selections. The ability to set various constraints on
DefaultTrackSelector is future work.
Note about the demo app:
- I've removed the verbose log toggle. I doubt anyone has
ever used it! I've also removed the background audio option.
Without using a service it can't be considered a reference
implementation, so it's probably best to leave developers to
figure this one out. Finally, listening to AudioCapabilities
has also gone. This will be replaced by having the player
detect and handle the capabilities change internally in a
future CL. This will work by allowing a renderer to invalidate
the track selections when its capabilities change, much like
how a selector is able to invalidate the track selections in
this CL.
- It's now possible to enable ABR with an arbitrary subset of
tracks.
- Unsupported tracks are shown grayed out in the UI. I'm not
showing tracks that aren't associated to any renderer, but we
could optionally add that later.
- Every time the tracks change, there's logcat output showing
all of the tracks and which ones are enabled. Unassociated
tracks are displayed in this output.

- Format can represent both container and sample formats.
If a container contains a single track (as is true in
DASH and SmoothStreaming) then the container Format can
also contain sufficient information about the samples
to allow for track selection. This avoids the Format to
MediaFormat conversions that we were previously doing in
ChunkSource implementations.
- One important result of this change is that adaptive
format evaluation and static format selection now use the
same format objects, which is a whole lot less confusing
for someone who wants to implement both initial selection
and subsequent adaptation logic. It's not in the V2 doc,
but it may well make sense if the TrackSelector not only
selects the tracks to enable for an adaptive playback, but
also injects a FormatEvaluator when enabling them that will
control the subsequent adaptive selections. That would make
it so that all format selection logic originates from the
same place.
- As part of this change, the adaptiveX variables are removed
from the format object; they don't really correspond to a
single format. This also saves on having to inject the max
video dimensions through a bunch of classes.

This change removes the need for SourceBuilders to load their
manifests before building their sources. This is done by pushing
initial manifest loads into the ChunkSource classes. This simplifies
the SourceBuilders a lot, and also DemoPlayer.

Notes:
1. The logic in ExoPlayerImplInternal is very temporary, until we
have proper TrackSelector implementations. Ignore the fact that
it's crazy and has loads of nesting.
2. This change removes all capabilities checking. TrackRenderer
implementations will be updated to perform these checks in a
subsequent CL.

This is equivalent to DashTrackSelector and SmoothStreamingTrackSelector.
This is a step toward allowing HlsChunkSource to expose multiple tracks,
which is a requirement for supporting WebVtt.
This change also enables WebVtt extractor instantiation.

This allows the same adjusters to be used by multiple
HlsChunkSource instances. This is necessary because
WebVTT chunks will be loaded by a second chunk source
to the one loading audio/video. In both cases the same
timestamp adjustments will need to be applied.
Each source may transition from one discontinuity sequence
to the next at a slightly different time, so it's necessary
to maintain a separate adjuster for each sequence.
An adjuster can only be initialized correctly using audio/video
and not WebVTT, because the start time in a WebVTT file in
HLS doesn't necessarily correspond to the chunk start time,
which means the timestamp offset calculated by the adjuster
could end up being incorrect. Hence sources providing WebVTT
chunks will set isMasterSource to false. Lovely, right :(?

This gives DefaultSmoothStreamingTrackSelector feature parity
with DefaultDashTrackSelector. Note that the code duplication
across these classes will go away eventually, when we rework
track selection as described in Github Issue #1121.

This allows implementation and injection of custom MediaCodecSelector
instances. By injecting a custom selector, it's possible for applications
to exert more control over which decoder(s) they instantiate. For example,
applications can force use of a software decoder.

* Add additional Widevine samples.
* Improve error messaging in demo app around decoders.
* Display toasts for playback errors related to missing insecure
decoders, missing secure decoders, decoder instantiation failure
and decoder query failure.
* Remove checks from SampleChooserActivity, since the above largely
covers off this problem.
API 23 requires the permissions to be granted at runtime.
This CL submits a solution for EXTERNAL_STORAGE, since it
is the only dangerous privilege required so far.
Context:
- Currently, playback is significantly more juddery with it disabled,
particularly on AndroidTV.
- We should be able to do the "best" job of this internally, so injection
doesn't buy anything useful. If someone has a better implementation for
adjusting the frame release, they should improve the core library.
