Exoplayer can not play some HLS video stream just only playback audio

[chenwu80]

Issue description
I am facing an issue where my exoplayer can not playback H.264+AAC hls stream.It just has only sound track, can not be play video track.

Reproduction steps
Use the m3u8 Link http://119.36.240.18:8099/HLStest/Indeltestvod/index.m3u8 to playback please.
Exoplayer just only play audio sound.But when I used PC/Android side tools such as VLC app, it can be playback correctly.

I guess this issue maybe a compatibility issue. I traced the log , it can not recognized the video stream.

Also you can download zip file on http://file.yiyuen.com/detail.html?id=891 or

Hi, we are facing same problem, MPEG 4 HD of resolution 1080p and 1920 cannot play in mobile, 720p plays fine.

We tried to set parameters in defaulttrackfactory by setvideosize to 1080, instead of default sdsize but it fails to take

This stream works if you enable FLAG_ALLOW_NON_IDR_KEYFRAMES. You can do this by setting the flag when you create the DefaultHlsExtractorFactory. Something like:

DefaultHlsExtractorFactory defaultHlsExtractorFactory = 
    new DefaultHlsExtractorFactory(FLAG_ALLOW_NON_IDR_KEYFRAMES);
MediaSource mediaSource = 
    new HlsMediaSource.Factory(dataSourceFactory)
        .setExtractorFactory(defaultHlsExtractorFactory)
        .createMediaSource(uri);

Let me know if this does not work for you. Thanks!

Thanks Santiago and Oliver, We tried inserting the FLAG_ALLOW_NON_IDR_KEYFRAMES, but getting errors, here is the code below, please advice at earliest as we are stuck Following is initializeplayer() method. It has all the code to initialize exoplayer, load and play. I am able to play all the hls streams with this code, but not able to play HLS HD live streams. initializeplayer(){ bandwidthMeter = new DefaultBandwidthMeter(); videoTrackSelectionFactory = new AdaptiveTrackSelection.Factory(bandwidthMeter); trackSelector = new DefaultTrackSelector(videoTrackSelectionFactory); loadControl = new DefaultLoadControl(); player = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(this, trackSelector, loadControl); simpleExoPlayerView = new SimpleExoPlayerView(this); simpleExoPlayerView = (SimpleExoPlayerView) findViewById(R.id.player_view); simpleExoPlayerView.setPlayer(player); bandwidthMeterA = new DefaultBandwidthMeter(); dataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(this, Util.getUserAgent(this, "exoplayer2example"), bandwidthMeterA); videoSource = new HlsMediaSource(*url*, dataSourceFactory, 1, null, null); loopingSource = new LoopingMediaSource(videoSource); player.prepare(loopingSource); player.setPlayWhenReady(true); //run file/link when ready to play. player.setVideoDebugListener(this); } *compile **'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.6.1'* this is the exoplayer version which I am using now. not able to play HD HLS live stream with this code. But If I convert the same steam into 720p, I can play with this code. So I made some changes as you suggested. DefaultHlsExtractorFactory defaultHlsExtractorFactory = new DefaultHlsExtractorFactory(*DefaultTsPayloadReaderFactory.FLAG_ALLOW_NON_IDR_KEYFRAMES*); MediaSource mediaSource = new HlsMediaSource.Factory(dataSourceFactory) .setExtractorFactory(defaultHlsExtractorFactory) .createMediaSource(url); But DefaultHlsExtractorFactory is taking arguments. not allowing to pass *DefaultTsPayloadReaderFactory.FLAG_ALLOW_NON_IDR_KEYFRAMES. *

From what I understand your issue is that
DefaultHlsExtractorFactory defaultHlsExtractorFactory = new DefaultHlsExtractorFactory(DefaultTsPayloadReaderFactory.FLAG_ALLOW_NON_IDR_KEYFRAMES); does not compile. Note that the DefaultHlsExtractorFactory constructor that takes the flags was added in 2.9.1.

If you don't want to upgrade your ExoPlayer version from 2.6.1 then you'll have to provide your own HlsExtractorFactory implementation that sets FLAG_ALLOW_NON_IDR_KEYFRAMES in the TsExtractor instantiation. Hope this helps.

Thanks Santiago and Oliver for last time quick response, we had to make lot of changes to upgrade to new version 2.6.1 After enabling the flag, below is description of problem - Is it anything to do with Chunk Count as the stream comes from Wowza in HLS protocol and H.264 codec An early help would be highly appreciated as our customers are stuck *Problem:* Stream is stopping after playing one frame and giving following error in android logcat in case of HD Streams. But for SD streams it is working fine. *Android Error in logcat:* E/ACodec: [OMX.google.h264.decoder] setPortMode on output to DynamicANWBuffer failed w/ err -1010 *Exoplayer code:* bandwidthMeter = new DefaultBandwidthMeter(); videoTrackSelectionFactory = new AdaptiveTrackSelection.Factory(bandwidthMeter); trackSelector = new DefaultTrackSelector(videoTrackSelectionFactory); loadControl = new DefaultLoadControl(); player = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(getActivity(), trackSelector, loadControl); simpleExoPlayerView = new SimpleExoPlayerView(getActivity()); simpleExoPlayerView = (SimpleExoPlayerView) v.findViewById(R.id.player_view); simpleExoPlayerView.setUseController(true); simpleExoPlayerView.requestFocus(); simpleExoPlayerView.setPlayer(player); mp4VideoUri = url; bandwidthMeterA = new DefaultBandwidthMeter(); dataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(getActivity(), Util.getUserAgent(getActivity(), "exoplayer2example"), bandwidthMeterA); DefaultHlsExtractorFactory defaultHlsExtractorFactory = new DefaultHlsExtractorFactory(DefaultTsPayloadReaderFactory.FLAG_ALLOW_NON_IDR_KEYFRAMES); MediaSource mediaSource = new HlsMediaSource.Factory(dataSourceFactory) .setExtractorFactory(defaultHlsExtractorFactory) .createMediaSource(mp4VideoUri); loopingSource = new LoopingMediaSource(mediaSource); player.prepare(loopingSource); *Exoplayer version: *com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.9.1

Hi Oliver Hope you are doing well, we had checked DRM in MPEG-DASH long back, But all our apps on Android are on HLS, has Exoplayer added DRM support for HLS also? if yes - in which version and how to integrate Any help would be highly appreciated Thanks and Regards Suraj
