Enable video playback

Create a PlaybackManager that handles the HLS stream setup and playback operation. No other configuration is required.

1. Create the media player object by making sure the following code exists in PlayerFragment.java:

   private MediaPlayer createMediaPlayer() { 
           MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = DefaultMediaPlayer.create(getActivity().getApplicationContext()); 
           return mediaPlayer;
   

2. Create the playback manager through the ManagerFactory:

   playbackManager = ManagerFactory.getPlaybackManager(config, mediaPlayer);
   

3. Implement the PlaybackManagerEventListener in the PlayerFragment to handle the playback events:

   private final PlaybackManagerEventListener playbackManagerEventListener =  
     new PlaybackManagerEventListener() 
   

4. Register the event listener in the PlayerFragment:

   playbackManager.addEventListener(playbackManagerEventListener);
   

5. Set up the video resource:

   playbackManager.setupVideo(url, adsManager); 
   

6. Set up the control bar operations in the PlayerFragment:

   controlBar.pressPlay() { 
       playbackManager.play();  
   }
