Mini player and expired medias

[defagos]

Once a media has a block reason (e.g. expired), if the play button of the mini player is tapped, nothing happens, and no UI feedback is provided to the user. The user can still tap on the mini player to open the full screen player and see that the media is expired.

Should we do something?

• Give user some feedback when she taps on the play button? Gray it out?
• Or hide the mini player altogether once a media has a block reason?

This issue was initially reported by @pyby during Play 3.0.0 tests. I fear that hiding the mini player when a block reason is encountered might be tricky, and possibly confusing for the user.

When testing this behavior it did not strike me as especially bad. But maybe simply graying out the button in such cases (like we do for the Google Cast) button would suffice?
