Ability to use Exoplayer as the player for trailers whilst using an external player for default. #790

Shield Pro.

Exoplayer is great. I would use it for everything except it presents issues with DV and Atmos passthrough. JustPlayer takes care of these issues at the cost of (imo) a slightly uglier UI and the lack of OpenSubs download / proper subtitle modifications.

Problem is that when I use JustPlayer as the dedicated external player, the player for trailers then forces a choice of external rather than allowing ExoPlayer to do its thing (for me, it plays trailers perfectly, with no buffer lag or buffering pauses). MXPlayer, BPlayer, X-Plor Player, Gallery Player, VLC all have issues playing back the trailers. As a band-aid fix, I have MPV playing trailers, dumbed down in the settings to play smooth but shitty video.

On Syncler, SmartTube Next is an option for external playing, and it plays trailers perfectly, but for some reason it doesn't show up in the external players list on Stremio.

I think a simple choice in settings for main player, and another setting for trailer player would be a fix for this.
