@BCjwhisenant Thanks for the update. But I’m still getting the following error while extending BrightcovePlayerFragment to the fragment:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.brightcove.player.util.LifecycleUtil.onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle)' on a null object reference

With "com.brightcove.player:android-appcompat-plugin:6.10.0" Any help?

@droider91 in this sample,

replace BrightcovePlayerFragment with Fragment.
replace baseVideoView with an instance of BrightcoveExoPlayerVideoView.
