    🎉 With the latest 1.6.0 release of Media3 comes a new Jetpack Compose artifact! You've asked for seamless and customizable video playback within your Compose apps, and we're delivering. media3-ui-compose is a dedicated library providing Compose-specific tools for powerful video experiences. What's inside? 🚀 PlayerSurface Effortlessly manage your video rendering with a clean wrapper for Surface or Texture. 🔄 PresentationState Achieve smoother, more polished transitions between media items in your playlists. 🎮 Composable State Classes We're empowering you to build your own custom controls! This initial release includes state classes for ▶️⏸️ Play/Pause, ⏭️ Next, ⏮️ Previous, 🔀 Shuffle, and 🔁 Repeat, with more to come in future releases. Why this approach? We understand you want flexibility. Instead of forcing a pre-built UI, we're providing the robust, tested state logic that ensures your custom controls stay perfectly synchronized with the media playback. This means you get the reliability of Media3 with the creative freedom of Compose. Ready to dive in?
