This error occurs in Flutter when using the video_player (chewie) package, and it’s related to ExoPlayer's failure to render the video due to a codec or hardware decoding issue

Any news for this issue ?

[diegotori]

@ChiragGajjar as stated in the README, this library merely creates a UI over the video_player plugin.

Please raise an issue with the Flutter Team, since this looks like it affects the Android implementation.

[Alex-Usmanov]

the issue occurs because error handling is missing for underlying video player controller initialization calls (example

chewie/lib/src/chewie_player.dart

Line 621 in c094ed8

await videoPlayerController.initialize();

)

the initialization future might complete with platform exception

PlatformException (PlatformException(VideoError, Failed to load video: Cannot Open: This media format is not supported.: The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreMediaErrorDomain error -12939 - received more bytes 1865 + 7410 = (9275) than promised (5300)), null, null))，，，，，，，，Similar problem, it seems that the returned video format is not standard, but I don't know how to deal with it
