samrobinson a26caae4ca Remove BasePlayer stop as a final method.
It calls through to a deprecated method, which is unusual for a
convenience method, and the deprecated method has various
implementations. This allows for a smoother removal of stop(boolean)
and removes an obstacle for the ExoPlayer-SimpleExoPlayer merge.

Adds missing @Deprecated tags to some Players.

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.
