• Lost in Translation: The Bug That Spoke Russian and Crashed My App

  According to some people on the Internet [0][1], it is. Apparently, Java's (Android's?) Locale.getLanguage() is broken for Russian locale and instead of returning "ru" as the docs promise [2], it returns "русский".

  I tried using the Fire TV but it has huge problems with some 4K HDR video formats that goes black screen. It is an issue reported by multiple users for Plex but it's the same for all applications on FireTV. This is the issue on github for Exoplayer: https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/11096

• ExoPlayer vs MediaPlayer for playing audio only. Which should I use?
  1 project | /r/androiddev | 17 Jun 2023

  Media3 is the new home for APIs that enable you to create rich audio and video experiences. If you’ve used libraries like ExoPlayer, MediaCompat, or Media2, you’ll find Media3 to be familiar. However, instead of using these separate libraries, Media3 provides a unified API for playback use-cases and also expands to cover new use-cases like video editing and transcoding. The APIs are simple to use yet powerful, customizable to meet your needs, and reliable and optimized so you can build for the diverse Android device ecosystem.

• ExoPlayer segment download

  Haven't done video work in years, but checkout the DefaultTrackSelector and start following around in the source code. Android Studio should allow you to do this all in the IDE. It's really the only way to learn/understand this stuff.

  I wonder if it's an ExoPlayer bug?

• ExoPlayer 2.18.2 is out and with some Dolby Vision fallback improvements
  2 projects | /r/JustPlayer | 23 Nov 2022

  See the full changelog of ExoPlayer 2.18.2. Some notable changes are:

• F1TV app micro stutter
  2 projects | /r/F1TV | 19 Nov 2022

  This started happening on Android when they enabled DRM on the streams. Assuming you use a device with Android 12 or later, you can just use Race Control TV to fix the issue. With Android 11 or earlier, Race Control TV also stutters due to this issue, which can be fixed by a custom build of the the app and force-enabling the fix mentioned in the issue.
