jbibik da724c8cc4 Plumb SubtitleParser.Factory into FragmentedMp4Extractor
We introduce SubtitleParser.Factory that supports no formats to be used FragmentedMp4Extractors that will not do any subtitle parsing on the extraction side. We also slowly move away from using SubtitleTranscodingExtractor to SubtitleTranscodingExtractorOutput (hence making it public).

This is required by individual Extractor impls so that they can start using SubtitleTranscodingExtractorOutput rather than be wrapped by SubtitleTranscodingExtractor. The latter is to be deprecated after all the subtitle related Extractors have achieved this migration.

ExoPlayer SmoothStreaming module

Provides support for SmoothStreaming content in ExoPlayer.

Getting the module

The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:

implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer-smoothstreaming:1.X.X'

where 1.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the other media modules being used.

Alternatively, you can clone this GitHub project and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the top level README.

Adding a dependency to this module is all that's required to enable playback of SmoothStreaming media items added to ExoPlayer in its default configuration. Internally, DefaultMediaSourceFactory will automatically detect the presence of the module and convert a SmoothStreaming MediaItem into a SsMediaSource for playback.

Similarly, a DownloadManager in its default configuration will use DefaultDownloaderFactory, which will automatically detect the presence of the module and build SsDownloader instances to download SmoothStreaming content.

For advanced playback use cases, applications can build SsMediaSource instances and pass them directly to the player. For advanced download use cases, SsDownloader can be used directly.
