[REQUIRED] Question

I’ve recently upgraded com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-core from version 2.11.8 to version 2.12.1.
Some components are deprecated by version 2.12.1 in the following code snippet.

        cacheEvictor = LeastRecentlyUsedCacheEvictor(CACHE_SIZE_MAX)
        databaseProvider = ExoDatabaseProvider(context)
        cache = SimpleCache(File(context.cacheDir, CACHE_DIR),
                cacheEvictor, databaseProvider)
        upstreamFactory = DefaultDataSourceFactory(context, USER_AGENT)
        // CacheDataSourceFactory class is deprecated
        cacheFactory = CacheDataSourceFactory(cache, upstreamFactory,
                CacheDataSource.FLAG_BLOCK_ON_CACHE or
                        CacheDataSource.FLAG_IGNORE_CACHE_ON_ERROR)
        mediaSourceFactory = ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory(cacheFactory)
        [...]
        val url: Uri
        val player: SimpleExoPlayer
        [...]
        // createMediaSource method is deprecated
        val mediaSource = mediaSourceFactory.createMediaSource(uri)
        // prepare method is deprecated
        player.prepare(mediaSource, true, true)

Thus I replaced the deprecated components by the newest ones.

        cacheEvictor = LeastRecentlyUsedCacheEvictor(CACHE_SIZE_MAX)
        databaseProvider = ExoDatabaseProvider(context)
        cache = SimpleCache(File(context.cacheDir, CACHE_DIR),
                cacheEvictor, databaseProvider)
        upstreamFactory = DefaultDataSourceFactory(context, USER_AGENT)
        cacheFactory = CacheDataSource.Factory().apply {
              setCache([e-mail])
              setUpstreamDataSourceFactory(upstreamFactory)
              setFlags(CacheDataSource.FLAG_BLOCK_ON_CACHE or                  
                    CacheDataSource.FLAG_IGNORE_CACHE_ON_ERROR)
        }
        mediaSourceFactory = ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory(cacheFactory)
        [...]
        val url: Uri
        val player: SimpleExoPlayer
        [...]
        val mediaItem =  MediaItem.fromUri(uri)
        val mediaSource = mediaSourceFactory.createMediaSource(mediaItem)
        player.setMediaSource(mediaSource, true)
        player.prepare(mediaSource, true)

After the updates, the player was black and I could not play any video (nothing usefull in Logcat). I’ve returned to the deprecated components (still with version 2.12.1) and now I can play every video.

I think I messed up something when in replacing the deprecated components.
Can you help me, please?

I am very sorry.
You were right pointing out that the call player.prepare(mediaSource, true, true) needs to be replaced by:

player.setMediaSource(source, true);
player.prepare();

Then I messed again my pasted code because player.prepare(false) does not exist and it must be simply player.prepare().

Now the new code works fine.

Thanks.

Glad it works! Thanks for letting me know!
