Failed to play video: com.google.android.exoplayer2.ExoPlaybackException: java.lang.IllegalStateException

[jerryisbusy]

Hello:
I have a video here: https://images2.bestjlb.com/video/jlbapp/5e09875981b2214e548f2eb09aac0e48/2020/06/v2jlboss.TRANSCODE-f98fdbe4fc2027cf4e873572b81eb531(3840x2160)(15534ms).mp4
(First time you visit this video in browser, you will have a error. Refreshing will solve this)

It can be played well from browser and VLC player.
But it cannot be played using ExoPlayer (version 2.11.4).
The exception i have is :

I'm unable to access the media link provided - it 403s for me every time, even after refreshing.

Ah the link works when I remove the trailing character.

We also have this problem for videos from here https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ted-talks-daily-sd-video/id160892972

But it's device-specific, the crash report comes from a Moto g8 user.

Hi,

I experienced the same error and after a whole day of debugging, I understood that the problem came from the video resource I was loading (in my case, the https request was subjected to basic authentication before returning the video) and like "VideoPlayerController.network (...)" launches the request in parameter in the hope that it directly returns a video resource then it crashes if it is not the case.
Please, review your logic in more detail and try even with free videos on the Internet or locally compatible.
