Make the use of the new method setDisabledTrackTypes in DefaultTrackSelector.ParametersBuilder, which disables selection of tracks type for every TrackGroup instead of the current group, which is the current behavior.
This removes the use of the deprecated of setSelectionOverride method.
Note that for progressive media, the content is still fetched, but only for initialization purposes (so requests are pretty small, most of times with a few kilobytes size).
added: MediaItemTag for ManagedMediaSources.
added: silent track for FailedMediaSource.
added: keyframe fast forward at initial playback buffer.
added: error notification on silently skipped streams.
This also allows saving a remote playlist locally.
- Add an "Add to playlist" button to the queue menu in the Player.
- Move the appendAllToPlaylist functionality from PlayQueueActivity to
Player.
Fixes: #8004
- Add adjustment_step_key to settings_keys.xml to be used when
saving/loading the step size.
- Remove the global stepSize variable and the code that saves it to
outState/loads it from savedInstanceState because it's now saved to
Shared Preferences.
- Move initially setting step size to setupStepSizeSelector to be
consistent with the other view setup methods, using the value loaded
from Shared Preferences.
- Save the step size to Shared Preferences inside setStepSize.
Fixes: #7031
ExoPlayer right now fetches HLS video tracks even if you disable them (with setRendererDisabled or setSelectionOverride).
See issue 9282 of ExoPlayer's issue tracker for more information.
* Replaced by ``wasLastResolvedVideoAndAudioSeparated``
* Uses an ``Optional`` instead (we can't determine if the video and audio streams are separated when we did not fetch it)
Prefering video-only streams to video streams for our player will allow us to make seamless transitions on 360 and 720p qualities on YouTube.
External players and the downloader are not affected by this change.
This is only available when playing video-only streams (and when there is no audio stream and only video streams with audio) and audio-only streams.
For more details about which conditions are required to get this transition, look at the changes in the useVideoSource(boolean) method of the Player class.
It ensures that queues are not the same. Without this check when you have multiple videos in the backstack and navigating back via Back button you'll get duplicated videos
