com.google.android.exoplayer2.ExoPlaybackException: MediaCodecVideoRenderer error

On certain devices the playback fails with MediaCodecVideoRenderer error. Error seems to relate to the fullHD rendition which is included in manifest file. So far we excluded the 1080p quality profile and playback works. Typically one can start the first playback, and when it tries to upscale, the player crashes. Following attempts to start another playback directly fail.

I attach the logs from JNY-LX1 Huawei. Huawei BP stream issue Android studio log_2.txt

Temporary fix was to set the maxbitrate to 4.2 mb

The attached Huawei log file looks like a different error:
