The device you are testing on is a pretty old device and I don't think we have any plans to support any changes to is. So device side fix is ruled out.

Exoplayer workaround: Basically, Exoplayer is trying to set max input frame size to the AVC decoder more than what the decoder supports. A similar fix has been done for Fire TV Gen2. https://github.com/amzn/exoplayer-amazon-port/commit/ac78d9d360cb93c01cd14eb42677e969a766333a

Perhaps you can try to enable this for the device you are testing and find the max input size supported and limit it to that.

Unfortunately, I don;t have device, and won't be able to find one soon. The best option here is if you can help to verify since you have the device.

Thank you for your quick analysis. I will try your suggestion in the device where the issue was happening. Thank you.

Using your suggestion as base seems to fix the issue. Thanks!

Thanks for your help. What was the buffer size limit that you set?

You welcome. It was set to 0.5 MB. Thank you
