Make DefaultTrackSelector prefer more efficient video codecs (everything else being equal) #4835

If there are multiple video TrackGroups that are roughly equivalent except for the codec used, DefaultTrackSelector should prefer to select the TrackGroup that uses the most efficient codec*.

An exception would be if a less efficient codec appears to have a hardware decoder, where-as the more efficient codec does not.

Should in theory be able to work around this by hooking up the setPreferredAudio/VideoMimeType APIs on the DefaultTrackSelector. https://exoplayer.dev/doc/reference/com/google/android/exoplayer2/trackselection/DefaultTrackSelector.ParametersBuilder.html#setPreferredVideoMimeType(java.lang.String)
