Native playback Video.files Deprecated

See original GitHub issue

Issue Summary

In native playback the docs specify to use:

Video video = ...; // obtain a video you own as described above
ArrayList<VideoFile> videoFiles = video.files;

But recent version shows it as deprecated. What is the new way of doing it???

Hi @amank22 please still use the video.files array, as you will also receive HLS VideoFile objects in that array, whereas video.download only has progressive files. Also, video.download will only have VideoFiles when you have allowed a Video to be downloadable.

video.files is marked as Deprecated since in a future version we will no longer support it. We will end up moving to the video.play, but right now that is not open to the public. video.embed is also deprecated because video.play has a much more robust representation. The current deprecation warnings are there as a courtesy that these will change in a future release.

Once video.play is officially the way to obtain VideoFiles, we will update the Readme.

Dear @kevinzetterstrom video.play return null. Why it would like this? Thank you.
