The player may suppress playback when waiting for audio focus even if the state==Player.READY. There is currently no getter or callback to obtain this piece of information for UI updates or analytics. Also, it's a important derived state to know whether the playback position is advancing. Add isPlaying and the corresponding callback to allow retrieving this information more easily. Issue:#6203 PiperOrigin-RevId: 268921721
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.
