@Guichaguri any idea how to get this to work? Thanks!

[brenwell]

I got the same. Would really appreciate a push in the right direction. Thanks

I got mine to build by editing the build.gradle by bumping the compileSdkVersion and the buildToolsVersion and replacing compile with implementation

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.1'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

boolean exoplayer = false, cache = false, auto = false;
boolean dash = false, hls = false, smoothstreaming = false;

File file = file('../../../track-player.json')
if(file.exists()) {
    def json = new JsonSlurper().parseText(file.text)
    cache = json.cache ?: cache
    dash = json.dash ?: dash
    hls = json.hls ?: hls
    smoothstreaming = json.smoothstreaming ?: smoothstreaming
    auto = json.auto ?: auto

    exoplayer = json.exoplayer || dash || hls || smoothstreaming
}

@brenwell thanks! it worked when I also added this line at the end:
