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.
This happened in fullscreen player: while play-pause, brightness, volume, ... buttons were correctly centered in the app UI, the fast seek overlay was centered in the system UI, causing a mismatch between the two that looked ugly
ExoPlayer's default behavior is to use a multiplication of target segment by a coefficient (3,5).
This coefficient (and this behavior) cannot be customized without using a custom HlsPlaylistTracker right now.
New behavior is to wait 15 seconds before throwing a PlaylistStuckException.
This should improve a lot HLS live streaming on (very) low-latency livestreams with buffering issues, especially on YouTube with their HLS manifests.
Instead of trying to reload the play queue manager and then throwing an error, BehindLiveWindowExceptions now make the app seek to the default playback position, like recommended by ExoPlayer.
The buffering state is shown in this case.
Error handling of other exceptions is not changed.
The issue was caused by an ExoPlayer change, which when setting a media source, resets the current playback position and the current window index by default.
Also set player recovery in more places to fix playback position not propely set in some cases after a player type switch.
* When rewinding: Check if <0,5s
* When fast-forwarding: Check if player has completed or the current playback has ended
This allows rewinding on the endscreen
* Deduplicated and simplified a lot of code
* Fixed ``invalidSeekConditions`` so that it's possible to seek while the player is loading (like currently the case)
Add annotations to methods and parameters.
Replace Jetbrains' @NotNull with Androidx' @NonNull annotatiation.
Make class variables static if possible.
Use constants for some Strings.
Simplify if conditions.
