jitsi meet android sdk conflict with new exoplayer from media3

[nightfury96]

What problem are you trying to solve?

when i add jitsi meet SDK lib in android, inside there is react-native-video lib https://github.com/jitsi/react-native-video/
it's old and uses old Exoplayer (com.google.android.exoplayer2) https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer that is deprecated. if in any Android projects, the developer wants to use newer exoplayer version with androidx.media3 (recommended by google https://github.com/androidx/media ) the project conflictswith libs and causes crash when using media3 exoplayer in any fragment or activity.
i detect jitsi react-native-video officially used https://github.com/TheWidlarzGroup/react-native-video from this repo
this repo of react-native-video from TheWidlarzGroup updated libs and used latest media3 version of exoplayer

What solution would you like to see?

i think if you update react-native-video lib to use androidx.media3 version of Exoplayer, any Android developers can use Exoplayer media3 with jitsi inside their projects and they will safely run and works together

Is there an alternative?

maybe the developer can try to downgrade exoplayer to deprecated version with many rollback and changes (not safe and good)

inside react-native-video lib, there is a custom exo_player_control_view.xml that uses old exoplayer com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.DefaultTimeBar
for a temporary fix, I create exo_player_control_view.xml inside my project with just a LinearLayout and use app:use_controller="false" inside
androidx.media3.ui.PlayerView tag of view in my project
