tonihei e784d2c507 Add Player.isPlaying and Player.getPlaybackSuppressionReason
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.

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.
