Hi @shobanavelmurugan, in order to help with this, we will need:

• A sample stream. -- Ideally, it should be the shortest possible video that reproduces the issue.
• A bugreport as captured by running adb bugreport shortly after seeing the issue.

Thanks!

[shobanavelmurugan]

@AquilesCanta I use HLS streaming from my api it looks pretty good even shorter length, but problem i face is with previewing the video from Internal storage(Recording using Camera2-Api -(1920x1080 resolution)).

[AquilesCanta]

I don't understand how HLS is involved.

Please provide the items requested above.

[shobanavelmurugan]

I have Two scenario in my requirement:
Scenario-1: Upload recording video to my server, then i will show preview from server url, here implemented by HLS streaming. This case EXO-player working fine for both short and long duration videos.
Scenario-2: Before Uploading I recorded video, I show preview using EXO-player by .mp4 format.
In this case I record one by one from requested video from my-api. here i have two cases,
1- To save, I maintain recorded path in Sqlite DB and do background upload this case i called continuous record.
2- To cancel, I delete the recorded video from Sqlite DB and file from internal folder.
And do record again and goto preview by this player. At this time this Exception will occur.

[shobanavelmurugan]

Anyone have tested those scenarios.can you please update what are other information required from my end.

but no solutions posted yet

[dryganets]

The solution is to override the method codecNeedsSetOutputSurfaceWorkaround of class MediaCodecVideoRenderer to always return true.

The codec can't be reused in this case, so there are some performance implications of doing that but not every app needs it.

Hello @AquilesCanta,

I'm able to reproduce this Internal runtime error with demo app without modifying any code inside. ExoPlayer version 2.11.4.

I have Xiaomi Mi Box S Android 9.0 TV Box and Cube X3 Android 9.0 TV Box.
Just open any video in HLS tab, and press "Back" button on the remote control.

This error will NOT appear on emulators, only on real devices.

[Turalllb]

@ojw28 Hello! You worked with similar problems, so I decided to tag you. I have some useful information on this issue. The same bug trace that @menscikov cited above repeats both for me and only on real android tv (Xiaomi Mi Box S Android 9.0). I have localized my problem. When I want to display an advertisement over the player, I set playerView.videoSurfaceView.visibility = View.INVISIBLE and immediately get an error. If you change the visibility, a second after the player has paused, then there is no problem. Tell me at what point can I already hide the display? exoPlayer version 11.7

[saurabharora90]

@Turalllb you shouldn't toggle the visibility of the playerView. For ads, try using the AdsMediaSource. If that doesn't work for you, then are you using a VideoView?

[Turalllb]

@saurabharora90 I'm not sure if I can use AdsMediaSource for ads. For advertising, we have our own asSDK with our exoPlayer inside, and the very logic of advertising placement is specific. For the first time I hear about VideoView, I looked at what this class is. I am using PLayerView from exoPlayer. Of course, I can hide the video under another view, but I think it's not right that when the visibility changes, problems arise.

[saurabharora90]

@Turalllb somebody can correct me if I am wrong: From my understanding, a surface view is destroyed when you toggle its visibility, which is why you shouldn't do it and hence it causes issues since the Surfaceview is destroyed by the time Exoplayer accesses it. When you do it after pause, it's not an issue anymore.

[Turalllb]

@saurabharora90 You are right, if you do it after a pause with a delay of 2 seconds, then everything is fine. But if right after the pause, then the problem still arises. In any case, I decided not to do this, I will use alpha or another view on top.

[jlmari]

Hello, I have a very similar issue that the one described by @menscikov .

Tested on latest exoplayer version (2.12.1). Reproducing a video with Xiaomi MiBox 3 (Android 9), it works great until home button pressed. Then the following exception is produced:

 com.google.android.exoplayer2.ExoPlaybackException: Unexpected runtime error

Also, in Android emulators and mobile phones Xiaomi Mi A3 (Android 10), Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (Android 9), Xiaomi Mi Max (Android 7) and Motorola One Action (Android 10) it works correctly. After returning from background, the video continues playing on the last position.

[AquilesCanta]

I am closing this issue because it is now almost impossible to follow and there seem to be two different and unrelated issues being reported:

• Issue with rotation on custom app in samsung devices.
• Issue with navigation (pressing the home button) in the ExoPlayer demo app in Xiaomi devices.

All of the reports have ignored the issue template and failed to include steps to reproduce the issue (including a piece of media, saying "any piece of media" doesn't help) and a bugreport. A bugreport is what adb outputs when you run adb bugreport in the console shortly after reproducing the issue.

If you are still having issues with this, please file a fresh issue and please follow the issue template.
