Getting CodecException intermittently

See original GitHub issue

[REQUIRED] Content description

We are getting calls from our customer about playback issue with codec exception. Based on our log, we can see the same customer has been playing the same live (dash) channel every day. Whereas some time they are getting codec exception. Since they are playing a live content, there might be some codec issues while slicing the content but we are stuck when we got a report about VOD content as well. The same customer can play the VOD a few days back, but after 2 days they can’t play the same content due to codec exception.

I have a similar issue with the pixel 2 xl device. Once the playback stops it continuously stops for all successive media playback. Putting down the logs.

I have been trying to reproduce this issue from a couple of weeks and finally, I am able to reproduce this by enabling Charles. What I found this time is a bit different. Due to some Okhttp/Network interruption, Exoplayer ended up with a CodecException. Which means this is not a straight forward CodecException. So instead of stoping the playback, when retried the playback it worked for me.

Though out of 100, 30 times it was still failing for me with same CodecException. So on top of that, when I was retrying the playback, I removed the old SurfaceView and create a new one. By doing that right now our playback is stable enough. I don’t know why OkHttp got “InteruptedException” intermittently and why that is related to a CodecException and also SurfaceView.

I will keep testing these changes and will update you if it will fail.
