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.
