Determination between Live and VOD

[ChernyshovYuriy]

Hi team,

While new feature is very cool, many applications depends on previous behaviour, when duration of Live stream is some kind of not in normal range, for instance -1.
Now, with this feature when user can seek within Live stream, what is a way to get know that stream is Live. We can not relay on -1 (or whatever value is) anymore.
Our Library has 3 different types of players and they manageable by common interface.
Now, it is inconsistence in behaviour from ExoPlayer side.
The question is - is there any way that ExoPlayer can notify that stream is Live?

You can query this information from the player's timeline. The demo application does this here. Static means VOD. Dynamic means Live.

We should probably add an ExoPlayer.isDynamic method for convenience, so you don't have to query the timeline directly. I'll do this.
