As some devices not present in ExoPlayer's list may not implement
MediaCodec.setOutputSurface(Surface) properly, this workaround could be useful
on these devices.
It forces ExoPlayer to fall back on releasing and re-instantiating video codec
instances, which is always used on Android 5 and lower due to addition of this
method in Android 6.
To do so, a CustomMediaCodecVideoRenderer, based on ExoPlayer's
MediaVideoCodecRenderer which always return true for the
codecNeedsSetOutputSurfaceWorkaround method has been added, which is used in
CustomRenderersFactory, a class based on DefaultRenderersFactory which always
returns our CustomMediaCodecVideoRenderer as the video renderers.
CustomRenderersFactory replaces DefaultRenderersFactory in the player, in the
case this setting is enabled.
Media tunneling may be not supported by more devices than the ones we
whitelisted before.
As a matter of fact, the list of devices on which media tunneling is disabled
could be not maintainable in the future, especially if the list of devices
grows more and more.
A preferable solution is to allow users to configure this setting themselves,
allowing them to not wait for their device(s) to be whitelisted in a future
NewPipe update.
This solution has been applied in this commit and works on every build type.
The corresponding preference in the debug settings has been of course removed
and the code used to prevent media tunneling activation on specific devices has
been removed.
This option could help to avoid decoder initialization issues, which falls back
to lower-priority decoders if decoder initialization fails. This may result in
poor playback performance than when using primary decoders.
It is disabled by default, but can be enabled in ExoPlayer settings.
- Fix misconfiguration in manifest ('http|https|market' is not valid)
- Split ShareUtils functions taking a boolean parameter into pairs of functions with better names and less runtime checks
- Move all Kore-related functions to KoreUtils
- Remove the toast_no_player string
