Plans to upgrade Exoplayer?

Feature Request

Upgrade Exoplayer dependency to 2.10.1 or newer (if available).

Why it is needed

We are currently using both 'react-native-video' (version 5.0.0) and 'react-native-track-player' (version 1.1.8), but these libraries have a dependency conflict on Exoplayer (see below):

react-native-track-player -> com.google.android.exoplayer.exoplayer-core:2.10.1
react-native-video -> com.google.android.exoplayer.*:2.9.3

Whilst it is possible to downgrade 'react-native-track-player' to earlier version (1.1.4) to get the same version Exoplayer, we lose some of the nice new features in 1.1.8. I would expect others to hit this problem soon too, as I wouldn't believe using both these libraries together is that uncommon.

So I wanted to find out if you had plans to update the ExoPlayer libraries to a newer version?

Thanks
Mark

I am preparing a PR with the update, but dunno the ETA.

@CHaNGeTe : I am also facing same issue with react-native-track-player and react-native-video
if you can create version that support before android-x as well.

I have the same issue with react-native-video 4.4.4 and react-native 0.60.4
only in Android, iOS works

We upgraded Exoplayer in #1753! We'll release the change in a 5.1-alpha soon
