Android 7.1.1 Nougat (API 25) ABI x86_64 not playing Video

[anshul-kai]

Videos aren't playing on Android Nougat (API 25) ABI x86_64. Could this be an issue across all 64-bit ABIs?

them again it starts playing!!! anyone knows why its skipping? this problem does not exist in iOS

this solves while using exoplayer

@michaelspeed I also solved by using exoplayer, but now I cannot see the video, just a black window, and from my log I have com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.HttpDataSource$InvalidResponseCodeException: Response code: 401. Did you got the same?

[michaelspeed]

well sometimes it works and sometimes i get the same error with a black screen. i checked it with ios version and no issues there

[anshul-kai]

Using ExoPlayer solves my problem guys. I don't see any black windows. Want to share your code?

[manuTro]

@a-koka I'm using clojurescript, but if you want I can share it.. However my code works fine by using react-navive-video without exoplayer, just the app freeze before show the video (but at the least I can see the video). I added exoplayer in this way : settings.grandle

//include ':react-native-video'
// project(':react-native-video').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-video/android')
//project(':react-native-video').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-video/android-exoplayer')
include ':react-native-fs'
project(':react-native-fs').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-fs/android')

include ':app'
include ':react-native-fs'

include ':react-native-video-exoplayer'
project(':react-native-video-exoplayer').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-video/android-exoplayer')
project(':react-native-fs').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../node_modules/react-native-fs/android')

build.grandle

    // compile project(':react-native-video')
  compile project(':react-native-video-exoplayer')
    compile project(':react-native-fs')
    compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
    compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
}

Is it right?

[anshul-kai]

This is how my settings.gradle looks. I didn't make any change to build.gradle.

include ':react-native-video'
project(':react-native-video').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-video/android-exoplayer')

I haven't tried your approach of renaming the project but I can't image why it would work any different. I'm not having any issues with a black screen though. Did you implement the hack to update paused via onLoad? There are few threads discussing this. One is here.

Here's a snippet of how to hack paused:

_onload() {
  this.setState({paused: !paused}, () => this.setState({plapausedying}))
}

<Video source={{uri}}
    volume={1.0}
    muted={false}
    paused={!paused}
    onLoad={this._onLoad.bind(this)} />

[manuTro]

@a-koka For now I didn't implemented the onLoad callback.. but I think my problem is about cookies because I got this response com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.HttpDataSource$InvalidResponseCodeException: Response code: 401. .I opened this issue https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/issues/683

ExoPlayer cookie support will be included in 2.2.0
