Description

I'll be direct in asking why there isn't more reference implementation of classes like SimpleBasePlayer. I entirely understand not wanting to do that for the entire Player class, given extending it would involve some 120 methods or so. But I am kind stuck, in where I am attempting to sort of replace ExoPlayer with a SimpleBasePlayer class that plays nice with MediaSession. Think a sort of ExoPlayer drop in replacement that allows actual playback to be implemented by other means. Is there any chance of reference implementations or is that a pipe dream on my part?
