Allow total override of onSetMediaItems/onAddMediaItems

I guess you are right about this. I'm already overriding ForwardingPlayer, so I'll just add more overrides that handle these cases. Will come back if I have more issues.

I think there are multiple APIs available that may be helpful for your case below the Callback API of the session.

In cases when the media structure of an app differs considerably to the media structure of what a standard ExoPlayer it can be useful to implement SimpleBasePlayer that is backed by an ExoPlayer instance. You would kind of wrap an ExoPlayer instance inside the SimpleBasePlayer instance. This way you get in between the session and the player and you can for instance handle the setMediaItems(List<MediaItem>) after it went through the onAddMediaItems/onSetMediaItems callback. In this case you would just not override these and received the params in SimpleBasePlayer. ForwardingPlayer is a similar approach, but for your complex case SimpleBasePlayer is probably a better choice. With both approaches ytou get in between the session and the actual player instance.

If you want to create your MediaSource in a complex way before it is added to the player as a consequence of for instance setMediaItems(List<MediaItem>) being called, you can inject your own MediaSource.Factory into the player when you build it with ExoPlayer.Builder..

Okay, this worked for me. Thanks.
