POC : Cast integration

[StaehliJ]

Goal of the poc

Integrate cast player directly in the player UI.

• Try with CastPlayer from Exoplayer-cast library

[StaehliJ]

The integration may work. We need to customize the DefaultMediaItemConvert for CastPlayer to handle urn cases. We have to set a MimeType for each MediaItem with url or at least detect if it is an audio or video.

Not sure playlist mixing audio and video will work for let's say a Audio only chromecast.

Playlist management

The player management that handle both local and remote player have to keep tracks on timeline changes. So when session stop, the local player have the item to play after.

On onCastSessionUnavailable the MediaItem list from the CastPlayer is empty, but not state, like playWhenReady or currentMediaItemIndex.
