krocard 5153ccde98 Remove release command for symmetry with Player construction
Release is a life cycle operation that should only be called when
the player is no longer needed. It's linked to the player lifecycle
and thus very different from prepare/stop.
As a result, it should not be in the same command.

Additionally it's not clear if remote players will ever need to call release,
as the player creator is best candidate to release it.

As a result the release operation doesn't have a use case for a command.
A release command can be added later if a need is identified.

ExoPlayer Cast extension

Description

The cast extension is a Player implementation that controls playback on a Cast receiver app.

Getting the extension

The easiest way to use the extension is to add it as a gradle dependency:

implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:extension-cast:2.X.X'

where 2.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the ExoPlayer library being used.

Alternatively, you can clone the ExoPlayer repository and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in ExoPlayer's top level README.

Using the extension

Create a CastPlayer and use it to integrate Cast into your app using ExoPlayer's common Player interface.
