[Feature Request] autodetect HLS & Dash

[jspizziri]

What is the need and use case of this feature?

Currently you have to manually pass a type on android if you're using HLS or Dash. I think this should be enhanced such that default will attempt to auto-detect it for you based on the extension of the URL (.m3u8 -> hls, .mpd -> dash).

Looking at https://developer.android.com/media/media3/exoplayer/hls#using-mediaitem, exoplayer can also autodetect these based on the url.

See their example code:

// Create a player instance.
val player = ExoPlayer.Builder(context).build()
// Set the media item to be played.
player.setMediaItem(MediaItem.fromUri(hlsUri))
// Prepare the player.
player.prepare()

Perhaps we need to use MediaItem.fromUri(src)?

Same goes for DASH: https://developer.android.com/media/media3/exoplayer/dash#using-mediaitem
