Sample code doesn't work

[daohoangson]

The player stopped working in my app so I created a new app from scratch and uses the sample code in the README. It does not work (keeps spinning).

Android logcat doesn't have any useful info.

is 404

That's my bad. I have updated the sample code above with https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4 as video URL. It still doesn't work. This run I have also collected the logcat https://gist.github.com/daohoangson/d1ef32edb0a577fa482645eea5870568

This showed up in your logcat?! There is no such thing in mine. How did you do it? I ran adb logcat before running the app in VS Code.

Really appreciate the help, @mcxinyu 👍👍👍👍

[mcxinyu]

Are the logs you collected before really generated by the code running the video player?

I didn't find any words related to video playback on it.

[daohoangson]

They are generated while the app is running. The app ID is com.example.test2019091 and I found this line:

10-31 13:41:26.217 24183 24214 I flutter : Observatory listening on http://127.0.0.1:37240/KA9V0m4-HdM=/

The timestamp matches the moment I hit run... So it must be it right?

I think the only video player related line is this one:

10-31 13:41:30.215 24183 24183 I ExoPlayerImpl: Init 878b1ed [ExoPlayerLib/2.9.6] [generic_x86, Android SDK built for x86, Google, 28]

You can try to print some information to confirm that you have entered the corresponding widget.

[mcxinyu]

SSL_connect error 5, errno=111

I think it may be caused by network abnormality.

Thanks @mcxinyu for all the help. I have reset the emulator and it worked! I also tried on a device and it worked there too. I'm closing this issue now.
