Receiving DESCRIBE 401 when playing password protected RTSP content

[ishaq1994]

I am trying to access rtsp://admin:admin12345@xx.xx.xx.211/Streaming/Channels/101

I have created mediasource as shown below

 SimpleExoPlayer exoPlayer =new SimpleExoPlayer.Builder(context).build();
        exoPlayer.setMediaSource( new RtspMediaSource.Factory().createMediaSource(MediaItem.fromUri(rtspUri)););
        exoPlayer.prepare();
        exoPlayer.setPlayWhenReady(this.playWhenReady);

E/ExoPlayerImplInternal: Playback error

I suspect you need to update to version 2.14.1.

• If the issue still occurs with 2.14.1, please provide all of the information requested in the issue template (please copy/paste it here rather than opening a new issue), including a new stack trace showing the point at which the failure occurs.
• If the stream plays successfully in 2.14.1, please close this issue.

Thanks!

I tried after updating to 2.14.1 and received below exception, Please provide a successful example code of creating mediasource
