[ANSWERED] android – exoplayer load little bit slow with the big video files that have (.mkv) format

Posted on

Solution 1 :

I actually faced the same issue with exoplayer version 2.10.0. This is actually a bug in exoplayer you can get more information about the same here. A new version will fix this issue. You can find the details here

Problem :

We have integrated exoplayer in one of my video player application for playing local video

EXOPLAYER VERSION : 2.11.0

we have observe that have MP4 play perfectly by forward and rewind video but when trying to play big MKV file then Exoplayer stuck initially when we start MKV video and when forward and backward mkv video then player stuck for approximately 10 second then play the video

we have checked it by android studio profiler tools and observe that when we play MKV video then memory consumption increased above the 1.1 GB but when we play MP4 video then memory consumption is approximately 600MB

When we forward the video then we got following logcat
