Unfortunately we don't have any that can be publicly shared.

Does ExoPlayer 2.9.3 supports playback of HLS CMAF streams?

Yes. The clear version of the stream that you provided works well. The play ready version doesn't contain the right keyformat (for playready, it should be com.microsoft.playready) and a license server url also needs to be provided. Have a look at the demo app's media.exolist.json file to see how that can be provided in the demo app.

Thanks for the information. We will update the sample contents and will retry the playback.
Warm regards,

Hi @AquilesCanta,
We have checked the playback behavior of the Microsoft HLS and/or MPEG-DASH contents mentioned in https://test.playready.microsoft.com/Content/Content4Xs in the latest ExoPlayer 2.9.5 demo app running on the following devices:

• Amazon Fire TV Stick Gen 2 (2016) / Fire OS 5.2.2.0
• Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T710) / Android 7.0
• Google Pixel 2 / Android / Android 9

And with all of them, there is the following error at application level:
...
Media includes video tracks, but none are playable by this device
...
Media includes audio tracks, but none are playable by this device
...

We have confirmed that the test contents that we have provided by email are using "com.microsoft.playready" as key format, but with those ones the error is different:
...

Can you please reopen this issue?
Thank you,

Hi Moacir, none of the playlists I can see in the e-mail you sent me contain the correct key format. Please send me another e-mail with a single link so I don't have to go through all content to make sure none of them contains the required keyformat.

EDIT: I removed the provided stream. It doesn't contain encryption tags. I'll try to post another one once I find one.

Regarding the "Media includes video tracks, but none are playable by this device" toasts, it make sense, considering you need to try the streams on a device that actually supports playready. I am pretty sure neither Pixel 2 or Galaxy Tab support playready. I don't know about the fire TV stick.

Hi @AquilesCanta,
Thanks for your feedback. Indeed only the Amazon Fire TV Stick Gen 2 supports hardware DRM.
Is there a minimum Android OS version required in order to support CMAF?
A link to a single test content will be sent by email.
Warm regards,

Is there a minimum Android OS version required in order to support CMAF?

CMAF support is android-version independent.

If the content is encrypted using CDM-DRM (Widevine or Playready), then support does depend on the Android version. Please post here once the e-mail is sent. Also include a bugreport captured shortly after playing the content, please.
