Other Notes :

I am taking androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer:1.0.0-beta02, it seem probiliy same as ExoPlayer 2.18.1 got this info from here.

I also tried pure ExoPlayer demo app and leave the error code here. Playing on Android 10 is fine. After update to Android 12, 4k capabilities lose, it quite wired?? 🤔

I guess it might the chromecast’s update issue. I also facing another bug is on CCwGTV Android 10, when i calling exoPlayer.release(), it seems that codec not really do the native codec release by OS, witch may cause oom crash. If is, please let me know that, I can contact them in need.

There is no update yet, and I will update this issue once we get one from the Chromecast team.

For clarity, even before the upgrade to Android 12, the device did not report it could play 4K@60fps and playback was stuttering. Regardless of a potential fix, I think that your app should avoid playing such streams anyway, it you want to ensure smooth playback (my hypothesis is that even if there is a fix on the device, the fix would not make the device faster but at best bring the old behavior back)
