This format is not supported by ExoPlayer when returned as HLS streams, so we
can't play streams using this format and this delivery method.
Also improve the Javadoc of ListHelper.getPlayableStreams.
NewPipe Extractor now extracts all YouTube Itags and therefore only those which can be handled by the player need to be retrieved from the list of all available streams.
This ensures to not remove streams from the StreamInfo lists themselves, and so to not have to create list copies.
The toast shown in RouterActivity, when there is no audio stream available for external players, is now shown, in the same case, when pressing the background button in VideoDetailFragment.
Detailed changes:
- External players:
- Add a message instruction about stream selection;
- Add a message when there is no stream available for external players;
- Return now HLS, DASH and SmoothStreaming URL contents, in addition to progressive HTTP ones.
- Player:
- Support DASH, HLS and SmoothStreaming streams for videos, whether they are content URLs or the manifests themselves, in addition to progressive HTTP ones;
- Use a custom HttpDataSource to play YouTube contents, based of ExoPlayer's default one, which allows better spoofing of official clients (custom user-agent and headers (depending of the client used), use of range and rn (set dynamically by the DataSource) parameters);
- Fetch YouTube progressive contents as DASH streams, like official clients, support fully playback of livestreams which have ended recently and OTF streams;
- Use ExoPlayer's default retries count for contents on non-fatal errors (instead of Integer.MAX_VALUE for non-live contents and 5 for live contents).
- Download dialog:
- Add message about support of progressive HTTP streams only for downloading;
- Remove several duplicated code and update relevant usages;
- Support downloading of contents with an unknown media format.
- ListHelper:
- Catch NumberFormatException when trying to compare two video streams between them.
- Tests:
- Update ListHelperTest and StreamItemAdapterTest to fix breaking changes in the extractor.
- Other places:
- Fixes deprecation of changes made in the extractor;
- Improve some code related to the files changed.
- Issues fixed and/or improved with the changes:
- Seeking of PeerTube HLS streams (the duration shown was the one from the stream duration and not the one parsed, incomplete because HLS streams are fragmented MP4s with multiple sidx boxes, for which seeking is not supported by ExoPlayer) (the app now uses the HLS manifest returned for each quality, in the master playlist (not fetched and computed by the extractor));
- Crash when loading PeerTube streams with a separated audio;
- Lack of some streams on some YouTube videos (OTF streams);
- Loading times of YouTube streams, after a quality change or a playback start;
- View count of YouTube ended livestreams interpreted as watching count (this type of streams is not interpreted anymore as livestreams);
- Watchable time of YouTube ended livestreams;
- Playback of SoundCloud HLS-only tracks (which cannot be downloaded anymore because the workaround which was used is being removed by SoundCloud, so it has been removed from the extractor).
Unable to compile!
* Cleaned up ``getMostCompactAudioIndex`` and ``getHighestQualityAudioIndex`` into a new method ``getAudioIndexByHighestRank``
* Removed unreadable code and use Java Streams API
* Tests work as expected
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.

- added autoplay options inside settings: always, only on wifi, never
- now statusbar will be shown in fullscreen mode
- playlists, channels can be autoplayed too (if enabled)
- changed title of background activity to Play queue
- fixed a crash
Main changes:
* correctly check the available space (CircularFile.java)
* misc cleanup (CircularFile.java)
* use the "Error Reporter" for non-http errors
* rewrite network state checking and add better support for API 21 (Lollipop) or higher
* implement "metered networks"
* add buttons in "Downloads" activity to start/pause all pending downloads, ignoring the queue flag or if the network is "metered"
* add workaround for VPN connections and/or network switching. Example: switching WiFi to 3G
* rewrite DataReader ¡Webm muxer is now 57% more faster!
* rewrite CircularFile, use file buffers instead of memory buffers. Less troubles in low-end devices
* fix missing offset for KaxCluster (WebMWriter.java), manifested as no thumbnails on file explorers
Download queue:
* remember queue status, unless the user pause the download (un-queue)
* semi-automatic downloads, between networks. Effective if the user create a new download or the downloads activity is starts
* allow enqueue failed downloads
* new option, queue limit, enabled by default. Used to allow one or multiple downloads at same time
Miscellaneous:
* fix crash while selecting details/error menu (mistake on MissionFragment.java)
* misc serialize changes (DownloadMission.java)
* minor UI tweaks
* allow overwrite paused downloads
* fix wrong icons for grid/list button in downloads
* add share option
* implement #2006
* correct misspelled word in strings.xml (es) (cmn)
* fix MissionAdapter crash during device shutdown
New Mp4Muxer + required changes:
* new mp4 muxer (from dash only) with this, muxing on Android 7 is possible now!!!
* re-work in SharpStream
* drop mp4 dash muxer
* misc changes: add warning in SecondaryStreamHelper.java,
* strip m4a DASH files to normal m4a format (youtube only)
Fix storage issues:
* warn to the user if is choosing a "read only" download directory (for external SD Cards), useless is rooted :)
* "write proof" allow post-processing resuming only if the device ran out of space
* implement "insufficient storage" error for downloads
* Added a dropdown to video & audio settings
* Changes to ListHelper:
** Limits resolution when code requests the default video resolution
** Limits audio bitrate when code requests the default audio bitrate
** Removed some dead code and did some cleanup
** Make methods private/protected to help understand what was in use
** The code now chooses one format over an other using a simple raking system defined in array constants. I realized I needed to do this in order to choose the most efficient video stream. I did my best to evaluate the video and audio formats based on quality and efficiency. It's not an exact science.
** Made changes to the tests to support my changes
