- There's definitely potential for more code sharing in these
classes, but deferring for now.
- Also made no-scheme default to file://, and allowed smoothstreaming
URLs to be specified with or without the /Manifest suffix.
This also fixes a technical mistake where HlsChunkSource is fed
seekPositionUs=-1 when obtaining the first chunk. This is wrong,
but the usage of this variable within HlsChunkSource enforces that
the seek must stay within bounds, so we get away with it.

The spurious transitions were caused by calling pushTrackSelection
in onRenderers after changing the renderer building state to BUILT
and before calling player.prepare. pushTrackSelection can cause the
ExoPlayer to generate state changes, since it can call setPlayWhenReady.
This change transitions the renderer building state later, so that
when this happens getPlaybackState correctly masks the state and
returns STATE_PREPARING.
Play movies has an Allocator that attempts to allocate a single
huge byte[] up front to minimize the risk of GC pauses. This abstraction
will be required to keep that when updating them to the new Exo.
Using a file:// URL for loading an HLS stream (for testing) would fail due to
casting the connection to an HttpURLConnection in DefaultHttpDataSource.
This change makes UriDataSource an interface for objects that are DataSources
with URIs. That allows for reading manifests for HLS using just a UriDataSource
rather than an HttpDataSource (URLs in the playlist are relative to the data
source's URL so the getUri method is needed).
The OMX component needs to be configured with a format that has a
MIME type of audio/raw. Remove Ac3PassthroughAudioTrackRenderer,
which is no longer used.
- Keys should not expire during normal playbacks of correctly configured content.
- Attempting to refresh on expiration causes a race condition, that may result
in either failure or brief re-buffer, for the 30s license test video.
- This change provides deterministic behavior, which is to always fail.
- Added support for ID3 frames of types GEOB and PRIV.
- GEOB type is commonly used by dynamic ads provider to include in the
stream information about the ads to be played.
- PRIV type is commonly used for time synchronization (example:
synchronizing playback of a live stream and its webvtt captions) and
also by analytics companies to include tracking information in the
stream.
- Added a sample stream from Apple that contains ID3 metadata.
Note: I'm fairly confident that NetworkLoadable.Parser implementations
can live without the inputEncoding being specified. But not completely
100%...

Support is provided for the following schemes:
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:direct:2012
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-iso:2014
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-xsdate:2012
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-xsdate:2014
- This change:
1. Extracts HlsExtractor interface from TsExtractor.
2. Adds AdtsExtractor for AAC/ADTS streams, which turned out to be
really easy.
Selection of the ADTS extractor relies on seeing the .aac extension.
This is at least guaranteed not to break anything that works already
(since no-one is going to be using .aac as the extension for something
that's not elementary AAC/ADTS).

The complexity around not enabling the video renderer before it
has a valid surface is because MediaCodecTrackRenderer supports
a "discard" mode where it pulls through and discards samples
without a decoder. This mode means that if the demo app were to
enable the renderer before supplying the surface, the renderer
could discard the first few frames prior to getting the surface,
meaning video rendering wouldn't happen until the following sync
frame.
To get a handle on complexity, I think we're better off just removing
support for this mode, which nicely decouples how the demo app
handles surfaces v.s. how it handles enabling/disabling renderers.
This is the start of a sequence of changes to fix the ref'd
github issue. Currently TsExtractor involves multiple memory
copy steps:
DataSource->Ts_BitArray->Pes_BitArray->Sample->SampleHolder
This is inefficient, but more importantly, the copy into
Sample is problematic, because Samples are of dynamically
varying size. The way we end up expanding Sample objects to
be large enough to hold the data being written means that we
end up gradually expanding all Sample objects in the pool
(which wastes memory), and that we generate a lot of GC churn,
particularly when switching to a higher quality which can
trigger all Sample objects to expand.
The fix will be to reduce the copy steps to:
DataSource->TsPacket->SampleHolder
We will track Pes and Sample data with lists of pointers into
TsPackets, rather than actually copying the data. We will
recycle these pointers.
The following steps are approximately how the refactor will
progress:
1. Start reducing use of BitArray. It's going to be way too
complicated to track bit-granularity offsets into multiple packets,
and allow reading across packet boundaries. In practice reads
from Ts packets are all byte aligned except for small sections,
so we'll move over to using ParsableByteArray instead, so we
only need to track byte offsets.
2. Move TsExtractor to use ParsableByteArray except for small
sections where we really need bit-granularity offsets.
3. Do the actual optimization.
